Weekly Recap: April Week 3 2013

April 21, 2013 | fitness, running

Happy Sunday! It has been a nice relaxing weekend here at the Montgomery house. Yesterday, we had some guys come help us work in the yard. All the bushes were cut way back, yard was edged, etc. It looks really good, and since it was such a gorgeous day I spent most of it outside. I walked to the gym, walked the dogs, and spent time just sitting outside.

Here is a look at last week’s workouts, broken down by day:

Sunday: rest

Monday: 3.1 mile run

Tuesday: 30 minutes bike, back, biceps, abs

Wednesday: 4.09 mile run for Boston

Thursday: rest

Friday: 2 mile run, 20 minutes elliptical, chest, triceps, legs

Saturday: 30 minutes elliptical, biceps, abs

A much better week overall than last week, especially with the cross training and weights. I di however want to get my mileage back up, even if that means doing it on the treadmill to avoid the heat. I have to remember I have Dumbo in August so I can’t slack on my distance too much just because it’s getting hot! For this coming week, the focus goes back to running and still sticking with cross training for my cross train or remain the same challenge.  Have a fabulous Sunday everyone!

QOTD: Did you spend any time outside this weekend?

    I’ve pretty much spent the entire weekend indoors as the weather has been crappy here.

    It’s not hot in NY, but at least it’s not freezing. 🙂 So, we walked to our fav restaurant for dinner and of course for ice cream afterwards. It was lovely to be outside during sunset.

    So jealous of your weather! It was chilly yesterday, but I think from now on we’ll start seeing more spring weather…I hope! I miss being outside

    It’s so hard to beef up the miles again when we have a chance to relax and recover – at least you’re doing your strength training that’ll make it easier once it’s time! I’m ready to relax this summer…just a tad 😉

    Sounds like a great week! I’ve been spending some time outside walking around, but it has been very rainy here lately!

      hope you get some sunshine soon!

    It was a beAUtiful day in Auburn, AL yesterday! We spent the entire day outside celebrating Auburn football and the tradition of rolling Toomer’s Oaks. It was very bittersweet but the memories will remain.

      how fun!

    I really appreciate your weekly recaps…I’ve only been running since January. I’ve completed my first 5K and finally am ready to think about speed and time. I’m 44 though and I do not want to push too hard too fast and hurt myself. It helps to see other weekly plans as I try to make my own 🙂
    It’s getting hot here in MS, but the humidity is worse than the heat. So far we’ve only had one really humid day but I could tell before mile 1 that I better get a plan B in place before the humidity sets in for good. I’ll either have to run early a.m. or before dark.

      It is getting hot! I think the cold weather we had the past few days will be our last. I will be on the treadmill most of the summer!

    Sounds like a nice couple of “lazy” days! 🙂

    I had a 12k race on Saturday, then kinda took the rest of the day easy. Today, I was in the gym for cardio and weights post-church. But, my weekends are usually a bit of a mixed bag.

    I am envy the beautiful weather. We’ve had nothing but rain here in Seattle. But this week is supposed to be sunny everyday! I am looking forward to running outside as much as possible!

      hope you get your sun!

Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins at Val Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins  at Valley Bear Farms felt like stepping into a real-life Pinterest board 🤍 (ad)

These architectural gems mix rustic charm with modern design—think soaring wood ceilings, giant picture windows, and a dreamy soaker tub that makes you never want to leave. 😍

We even brought our dogs along (yes, it’s dog-friendly!) and watched deer wander by through the trees. 🐾 

Valley Bear Farms is tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, surrounded by peaceful forest views and plenty to explore. The property has hiking trails, a cozy general store, and other on-site amenities that make it feel like a little mountain village all its own. ⛰️

The Cosmo JrTrack 5 Smartwatch has been the perfect in-between for us — she can call and text the people I approve, I can see where she is with GPS, and it has school mode, SOS, activity tracking, and even a little camera she loves. 

We got the Holiday Bundle with the screen protector and LaunchPad stand, and it honestly just makes the whole thing easier. 

If you want the link, comment “watch” and I’ll have it sent straight to your inbox. 🎄⌚️✨

There’s just something about the holidays in the Smoky Mountains — the lights, the laughter, the togetherness — it all feels extra magical. #sponsored

Our first stop was Dolly Parton’s Stampede, the world’s most visited dinner attraction, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-show in the Stampede Saloon had us singing along to country and Christmas classics before we sat down for a four-course feast that could rival any holiday dinner. 🐴 

Then the arena came alive with 32 magnificent horses, trick riders, and dancers bringing the spirit of the season to life with a friendly North vs. South Pole rivalry, toys that come alive, and even Santa arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh. Pure holiday joy from start to finish! 🎅🏻 

Next up was the Titanic Museum Attraction, beautifully transformed into an Elegant Edwardian Christmas, giving Titanic the Christmas voyage she never got.  We each received a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger, explored the Grand Staircase, and even touched the icy 28-degree water.  The interactive exhibits made history come alive, and it was such an emotional, unforgettable experience for all of us. 

And to end the weekend, we dove into adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.  Led by Captain Blackbeard himself, the Crimson and Sapphire crews battled for treasure with acrobatics, mermaids, fire stunts, and even a sea lion! Between the four-course pirate feast and the jaw-dropping stunts, it was nonstop fun and the perfect grand finale to our Pigeon Forge weekend. 🏴‍☠️ 

 This trip reminded me that time together really is the best gift. Add Pigeon Forge and these incredible attractions to your holiday must-do list this season. ❤️

Comment “Pigeon Forge” and I’ll send you links to grab your tickets before they sell out!
