Marathon Training Plan Bit The Dust



Waahhh... wahhhhh.... that's all I've been doing this week it feels like. I'm sick (STILL!). Either this is a cold that is just lingers or my family keeps passing it back and forth to each other. Regardless, my training plan has bit the dust this week. I got in one (Yes, I will pause a moment for you to gasp), just one run this week. I will not freak out. I will not freak out. I will not freak out. There is still time to recover and get back to the plan. There is still time to recover and get back to the plan. There is still time to recover and get back to the plan. I will not freak out. I will not freak out. Ok... so you see where my mind keeps going! But I think I made the best decision by blowing off the rest of this week and just resting. Pushing through a run when I was so exhausted probably wouldn't have been beneficial.

I spent the majority of yesterday on the couch. Hubby graciously took Lil Man out for the day, and I had a day of rest. I'm resting again today. I'm hoping that after resting this weekend, I will be back to my normal self tomorrow.

I'm thinking of lysoling everything, possibly even the dog! These germs need to go!

If I'm feeling better, I plan to repeat my plan from a couple of weeks go. I'll do 4,7, and 18 again.

Here's to hoping another day of rest will get me back on my feet. I have pavement to pound!

Pinrose Petal Pack Review and Giveaway - 10 Winners!

Bear with me, I know this blog is mainly about fitness, nutrition, and occasionally about being a stay-at-home mom, but I got the chance to review what I think is a pretty cool product and I wanted to share it with you. I'm not one to usually wear perfume. I have allergies, and I'm super sensitive to smells. So usually I just bypass perfume. But when I heard about Pinrose , I was intrigued. Being someone who is constantly in motion, and I know that many of you are the same way, I found this product to be very useful.  I'm talking about Pinrose, and their fragrances are in petal packs. They are perfect on-the-go packs. And on their website they have a  synesthesia   test where you basically look at a series of images and they conclude from that test what they think would be your best fragrances. I found the test very interesting. However, you were supposed to go with your gut and not think too long. On one of the images I actually changed my mind and changed...

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Jogging Strollers Freedom And Fresh Air

Full Disclosure: I have partnered with Thule to #giveaway a Thule jogging stroller, but I have not been compensated in any form.  I remember when Lil Man was a baby. My only time to get in a workout was before Hubby went to work. Which meant I had to run at 5am or 6am after being up most of the night with Lil Man. You guessed it, those early morning runs just didn't happen most days. I tried. I really did, but I was exhausted. Yes, I have a treadmill which helped. But it didn't give me the freedom ( or the fresh air ) that my jogging stroller did. Pushing the stroller was hard. It became a challenge that I looked forward to overcoming. And on those days that running just wasn't going to happen, walking could. So I did. I could take Lil Man out at any time and get some exercise and fresh air. Sometimes it was all we needed to change both of our moods.
