Quick Recap On The Busy Weekend!

What a weekend! This weekend was one of my longer runs so far. It was also the first time in about four months I took a much needed break. As much as I’d like to, I can’t operate at full speed all the time.

Saturday Recap

Saturday morning started with a great trail run with my friend Alyssa. She’s doing the Houston Marathon in January as well and we happen to be using the same training plan. This week called for a nine mile run and I’m glad I had the company!

Aftermath of the trails!

Of course I was so glad to have the distraction because I knew nine miles would be a bit of a tough one for me. I have been doing so much this week and I changed up my workouts so my body was definitely sore. I had plenty of form rolling and positive self talk before this run.

Not only did we kick butt and finish the complete nine miles, I managed not to fall on my butt! There were a few close calls but it’s wouldn’t be a successful run without any, haha!

After starting my morning on a roll, I had to keep going! I sat in an ice bath for a while to keep my knee happy. The remainder of the day was spent shopping and checking out all the holiday decorations in Hobby Lobby!

Catching up on some awesome blogs got me so insprired! I got a notebook and began to write down post ideas and brainstorming. I really want to push myself to create great content and be proud of what I share.

Sunday Recap

Sunday morning was supposed to be a recovery run. I had actually managed to sleep ten hours but I was still aching. My fitbit logged 20,000+ steps on Saturday so I knew I needed the rest. Not wanting to be one to push myself out of commission, I rolled over and decided to get some rest. After some delicious breakfast at Waffle House, we were off to church!

Afterwards, I took advantage of the good sunlight and shot a few pictures. The weather was a bit cooler than it had been for the week so we opted to go on a walk as well! It was a nice and slow Sunday.

This week I have another 10k race! I’m looking forward to some cooler weather with hopes that it will make me faster. I swear once the temperature drops, my legs can’t go fast enough! I’m definitely a snow bunny, haha!

What’s one highlight of your weekend? Are you excited for anything in this upcoming week?
