Hello! How’s it going? It’s the last day of POTM for this week! Are you rocking it? Are you barely getting by? Are you quitting? NO, you’re not quitting.
We are in it together for another week. Whatever your goal is – get it done. This is the last push before the holidays and busier times and colder weather and a ton of other excuses that make it hard to stay active. But you promised yourself and the other POTMers that you’d show up and do it.
I had a challenging morning because I found myself in Florida! Wait. That’s not the challenging part.
I flew out yesterday and got here last night. For some reason I woke up at 4am eastern time, which is 1am California time?! I decided to just get up and wait for the sun to rise so I could run.
But, I don’t know how to use the coffee maker here so I just paced back and forth stressing about life for a while until I remembered I brought a bunch of packets of Spark.
I usually take these mid-morning or early afternoon even though I feel like most people drink them pre-workout or in the morning instead of coffee. I switched it up out of necessity and it worked.
Moral of the story – the Spark saved the day and helped me rally / stall for two and a half hours before I got out to run.
After a good 8 miles I hit up Dunkin Donuts to get my coffee fix.
This evening I went to a rehearsal dinner for Jon and Corey who are getting married tomorrow! I feel like some people are always going to weddings, but I don’t have any friends so this is an exciting weekend. The food was great and the weather is great too. Here’s hoping tomorrow and every day after that will be awesome!
I did my first Boomerang on Instagram stories. Check it out if you follow me 🙂

Florida sounds amazing right now, because I ran 11(.25) miles outside today & it was…. wait for it…. 36* (25* with windchill). WHAT!? I sucked it up because that will soon seem like a warm winter day by comparison, and I don’t want to be inside until May lol. I was actually surprised by my pace, which sped up quite a bit compared to how its been lately 🙂 WOO!

I was able to run the trail run I wanted to do today — it was hillier than in years past and they forced you to go through water, normally you can avoid it. It was still a fun time!
Amy says
I got 15,000 steps in today. I worked with a running coach for the first time today! He had me skipping, too, Monica! We ran five fast (for me) miles and he gave me some great tips. I am going to work with him again in February/March as I begin to train for my first half marathon. Thanks for mentioning a running coach! I had never heard of that. I really had a good experience.
Tal says
elliptical study session
Katie B says
It got COLD in MN, so today were the first 5 treadmill miles of the winter season. Pitch (the new drama about the first female MLB pitcher) was my running distraction.
