Lost With A View
So today's run didn't go as planned. It was supposed to be 13 miles. I had to skip yesterday's 6, because we all seem to have chest colds. My son was up a lot last night, and I was operating on limited sleep. I didn't feel my best, but I didn't feel my worst. However, around 3ish or so miles, I wasn't so sure how this run was going to work out.
Then I got lost....
I was running a route that I ran with a running friend last weekend. However, I am really directionally challenged - and no maps don't help. In fact, maps just confuse me more.
Anyway, I took the wrong way, but wound up with a great view.

Instead of trying to get back 'on the correct route', I decided to go a little farther and then back track and go back the way that I had just come. I made it back to the main road, and decided to run to Wildwood since I was short on mileage.
Between the sun and just not feeling well, my stomach issues kicked in. Thankfully I made it to the bathrooms, but after an extended time there, the thoughts of trying to make it 3 miles back to the car (and still being 2 miles short of 13), I called Hubby.
In my running career, this is the 2nd time I've ever called him to come pick me up. I knew that I wasn't 'that' far from home (15ish minutes) so it wouldn't be too inconvenient to come get me. To my surprise, he had actually run an errand with Lil Man, and they were less than a few miles from me! Once I found out their location, there was no doubt about cutting the run short. I asked him to swing by and pick me up. Less than 5 minutes later, I was being transported back to my car.
When I called him, I had lost my voice (which I hadn't realized since I was running solo with no one to talk to). I hate to cut training runs short, and with the race about 3 weeks away, I really hated to cut this one short. But I honestly didn't feel like completing the run.
Let's hope this was the best decision, and that I can hit next week's runs. I'm starting to get a little antsy about my goals for the upcoming Half.

The Perfect Night In With Tyson Foods and Redbox
Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own.
My family is definitely on the go. In the summer, it's amusement parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, hiking and playing outdoors. The winter usually brings snow (and lots of fun), along with school and sports activities, hiking and whatever else we can find to do during the cold months.
And although I do enjoy the occasional evening out, it's our movie nights (or even days) at home that makes my heart swell with memories. To me, there is just something about gathering together to enjoy time with each other which usually includes yummy food and a movie or two. It's the simple things in life.
With the help of Tyson® foods and Redbox®, life just got easier. From 2/6/17 to 4/15/17, if you purchase any two eligible Jimmy Dean®, State Fair®, or Tyson products in a single transaction at a Walmart Supercenter or Walmart Neighborhood Market, and visit www.TysonFreeMovieNight.com to upload …

How Gixo Is Changing How I Workout
Truth time - I've struggled a little with the transition back into the work force. I LOVE my job. But I went through a period of feeling very disconnected. And the last thing that I wanted to do was workout alone. So of course I turned to social media and asked if anyone in my area wanted to run/workout with me. Crickets. Yep, that's basically all that I got - crickets.
And then I got an email to try an app called Gixo. It's live guided fitness classes. I thought why not, and I signed up for a free trial.

I didn't know what to expect,

You Don't Want To Miss This Noxgear Giveaway
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Noxgear. All opinions expressed are my own and honest in nature. Use code AMYGLASS and save 35%.
Whether you workout before work or after work, chances are if you workout outside you'll be working out in the darkness or very dim light.
And one of my major pet peeves is to see runners or walkers or cyclists or really anyone out and about who doesn't make sure that they can be seen.
Because the majority of my workouts are before Hubby goes to work, and usually I'm solo, safety has always been a priority for me. And when I say that I won't run outside in the dark / low light/ fog without my Noxgear, I'm serious.
If you aren't sure what Noxgear is check out this video.

Good for you for keeping at it. If my husband was running he would have kept running, and not called for a pick up....lol!
