First thanks for all the kind words after my coffee date post. It has been a rough few days for sure and I needed to just spew that stuff out.
Here’s how my “no training plan” week went:
Miles Run: 24
Miles Biked: 18
Monday: 6 miles
Tuesday: Ran 3 Biked 18
Wednesday: Yoga
Thursday: Total Body Strength
Friday: 5 mile trail run
Saturday: Rest
Sunday: Ran 10
The weekend was low-key, if you count lots of driving kids around low-key.
On Saturday the kids and I helped pack meals at our local Feed Our Starving Children Organization. No pics because I am a bad blogger.
I may be 2 for 2 on red cups this weekend. The one not pictured may have been a whole lot bigger than this one too. #Sorrynotsorry.
We stopped at the mall to get Thing 2 a new fall jacket. Not only was there none in sight, the winter coats were well picked over already too. I wish we didn’t have to rush the seasons so much.
Thing 2 had a birthday party to go to Saturday night so the rest of us dug into a nice deep dish pie at Gino’s East. Again no pic. Clearly I suck.
Sunday I got out early for my last long run before RnR Vegas baby! The weather here this fall has been amazing. It was frosty today but really perfect running conditions. I cannot freaking believe it’s race week! Getting away for a super-fun anniversary weekend will be just perfect.
How was your week? Did you run? Race? Enjoy a red cup?
sounds like a great weekend!! yes, race and PR!! and since i had work travel this week, i had 5 red cups this week and weekend.
Pretty amazing weather, isn’t it? Altho I’m jealous of your trip to LV! So fun!
The weather here has been unseasonably warm and I’m ready for it to actually feel like fall. Great week of training! Good luck at RnR Vegas! That sounds like a fun time! I ran my first 10 miler this weekend as a training run for my second full. It was a nice race and I had a good time!
I hope everyone is doing as well as they can after that tragic news.
I say if you are going to stop at Starbucks, make it a Venti. No shame. I’m surprised the swimsuits weren’t already out at the mall. Don’t they make us shop two seasons ahead anyway? I’m excited (nay, envious) of you running RnR Vegas. I hope you had a wonderful trip and race. Thanks for linking up!
Mmmm, deep dish pie. That’s something we don’t really have here in eastern PA. It is all NY style. Good luck in the countdown to Vegas – so exciting!!
I can not wait to hear about your time in Vegas! What all is on the agenda to celebrate the anniversary? What about your hubs, will he get to be there when you cross the finish line? I know, I know so many questions, I’m living through you this weekend for sure! Appreciate you linking up with us! Safe travels to you and a great race! 🙂
No pics because you were clearly too busy living your life than worrying about documenting it for social media. I say good on you! We can use our imaginations for the meals you packed and the deep dish pizza that you ate.
The weather was a bit cooler today, which I was happy about. The sudden weather in the 70s was weirding me out a bit.
I finally had a really good run today – the first since the marathon that I would actually call really good. It’s about time!
I can’t actually remember the last time I bought coffee anywhere. That seems wrong.
Haven’t had a red cup yet but can’t believe the ridiculous drama about them not being Christmassy enough! It’s a cup! I am worse than you with the lack of pics at events. Most of the time I just can’t be bothered! Have fun in Vegas!
Your hair looks great!
That’s an impressive week of “no training plan” – a good example of how the no pressure approach can be fantastic.
I can’t wait to hear what you think of RnR.
Enjoy Vegas, but not too much 😉 Where are you staying?
Wait. You’re racing again? Didn’t you just race a marathon? Go Marcia!!
I’ve indulged in a few red cups.. this time of year i like the eggnog latté. 🙂
you are such a badassrunnerwoman.
me? Im just a redcup drinker and these days it is DECAF!! :-0
Enjoy Vegas for me! Believe me, it really is fun. The lights! The people! Ah, and the food in Vegas . . . .
Aaaah, so excited for RnR LV for you!!! Can’t wait to hear how it goes!
Great week of running and biking! My boyfriend went for a ride on Sunday, I wish I could have joined him but I was too busy with my 12 miler – last super long run before Annapolis! It must be exciting for Vegas to get closer and closer!
Starbucks & pizza – 2 of my favorite things. Enjoy LV. I am so jealous!!
Woohoo!! Vegas, baby!!! So excited for you!
I’m the same way with photographing my weekends. Though I do think I tend to enjoy them more when I forget about blogging for a bit. But there are many times when we leave somewhere and I go “oh, well I guess I should have taken a couple of photos…”
Have a great race! My weekend was pretty quiet, which is just what I needed. <3
I want to go Vegas with you! I am going to check out the coffee date post, I missed that one.
I haven’t been in a picture mood much lately either…
I hope you have an awesome time in Vegas!
Wow – beautiful scenery! I may or may not have already had two red cups in the last two days… I’m kind of a coffee addict! 🙂
Just went back and read your coffee date post. I’m so sorry, Marcia–that’s a lot of heavy. I am just devastated for Tamara and so very sorry about the other little girl in your life. Parents should never lose children.
Looks like you had a great week! So jealous of RnR Vegas it is by far the most fun half I have run.
Looks beautiful where you are! Love this time of year. I don’t do Starbucks but I’ve been making my own hot bevvys at home and Ginger Apple Cider is like my new thing. Just leave it a crockpot and dip and sip whenever I need to get warm. 😀
Have fun in Vegas. After my race in May I want to try to do a night race. I don’t normally get hot drinks at Starbucks so no red cup for me. It’s not cold enough here yet for hot chocolate so it’s still iced tea.
I wish we had a starbucks close by enough for me to go enjoy a drink. I love all their holiday coffees!
Wow, what a gorgeous scene from your long run! I’m missing being able to do long runs on the weekends right now and being able to enjoy gorgeous views like that!
We’re finally getting decent weather here. Of course I can’t really enjoy it until I can run in, which will be a few more weeks. Enjoy RnR! It should be amazing!
I am not a red cup drinker, no coffee for me, can you believe it?! I am sooo excited for Vegas!
I hear you on the tragic news coloring how I’ve been looking at everything this week.
Have fun at LV! I’m jealous. I’ll be at a soccer tournament LOL.
No red cup for me. And no run for me this weekend. I did do a spin class instead and got in 21 miles in there. That was something new for me.
sounds like a good week of training to me! 🙂 I got my first red cup today at starbucks actually…can’t believe the holiday season is here!
clearly you do not suck- you are killing me! and how do you get in more miles when you are not training than what I do when I am training?? jealous! enjoy Las Vegas!
What a great week of stats despite having no plans! and despite the red cup controversy, I had one 🙂 haha
It sounds like you had a great week, even with no training! I haven’t had a red cup yet but I’m soo tempted. Maybe next week 🙂
Sounds like a great week! I am so happy that I don’t have to buy winter coats anymore, Florida is great that way! Have fun in Vegas!
I may have enjoyed a red cup or 2 last week 😉
I agree, the weather has been unbelievably awesome around here lately for fall! I haven’t been getting out as much as I should be to enjoy the weather before the snow. I am glad that you are taking full advantage though! 🙂
