Weekly Workout Recap: February Week 4 2014

March 2, 2014 | fitness, health, running

Last workout recap of February! 2014 is really flying by. I can’t believe it’s nearly spring, we have green grass growing and it is getting up to 75 today! Spring weather truly lifts my mood, and I have wanted to spend every spare second outside the past couple of days.

The dogs have really enjoyed being outside more, too.

This was a bit of an odd week because we were in Orlando until Tuesday, and then I spent the majority of the rest of the week catching up on work and recovering from three back to back races plus time walking in the parks. Here is a look at this past week:

Sunday: Princess half marathon + walking the parks 10-2ish

Monday: Walking the parks 9-2ish

Tuesday: rest/travel home

Wednesday: rest

Thursday: rest

Friday: 2 mile run/walk

Saturday: 1.5 mile walk

I am listening to my body for now, I am super burnt out on running and racing so I will be doing some other things for a while. I still will run, and am running the Crescent City Classic 10k Easter weekend, but no more long distances for awhile. Dopey + Tink + Princess wore me slap out!

I know in a lot of the country racing season is just getting started, but sadly here in the deep south it will be ending very soon until fall. After March you will only find 5k’s and 10k’s and even those are few and far between past May. I had plenty of fun and races this fall and winter though so I can’t complain!

QOTD: What is on your race schedule this spring?

    I’m running Shamrock Half in 2 weeks for a PR attempt, then hopefully a local 5k and my big race is Zooma in Napa for a girls trip – I can’t wait! 🙂

    I have taken so much time off after WDW, but now I’m starting to get the running itch again. Since I don’t have anything on my schedule, I can take my time getting back out there.

    My race season is pretty much done until Fall, too. With us getting back on a ship in a few weeks, unless there’s a race in NYC on a Sunday after 9AM, I won’t be able to do it.
    The only thing on the schedule for sure is the Space Coast Half Marathon December 1st, but I’m contemplating either the Half or Full in Toronto or Niagara Falls in October.
    That’s so far away!

    Sounds like a good week of workouts! I bet all that long-distance racing took it out of you. I know it would for me, too!

    As for racing, I had my first full marathon yesterday which was awesome! I have a half in San Antonio in a few weeks, then the Nike Women’s Half in April. After that, it’ll be 5K’s, 10K’s, and maybe even a Tri until Fall rolls around.

    I am so ready for springtime though, I love all the gorgeous colors that come along with it!

    Was fun seeing you at Princess! Glad you had a good recovery week – I would be worn/burnt out, too!!

    We are just getting into fall here in the southern hemisphere. The weather has been cold and rainy today. Yuck. But I only have access to running outdoors, so I run no matter what. I get really really hot when I run, so I’m looking foward to the colder weather for me runs.
    I plan on running my first half marathon ever this September (which will be spring). I’m not into pre training quite yet. Right now I am doing a 3 mile speed run (though I’m not very fast) on Monday, 6mile on Tuesday, hill run on Thursday, and long run (right now 7miles) on Saturday. It seems to be working pretty good.

    I just completed the Gasparilla Distance Classic in Tampa and the Best Damn Race in Orlando. Next up for me is Iron Girl in Clearwater…then a break from racing for a while. I hate that the races die down during the summer, but the humidity here in Florida is so intense I can understand why. :-/

I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.

We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our favorite places to visit and feels like home. 🫶🏻

There are so many great businesses with employees that make you feel like family. Here are a few we visited over fall break. Be sure to save this for your next visit to the beach! Have you been to any of these places? 🍊 

@coastalorangebeach: Not only a beautiful restaurant right on the gulf with amazing food, drinks, and servers, but also a really great store with amazing merch! We found some great stuff. If you go to the restaurant, ask for J-Mac to be your server and make sure to get a bushwhacker with a peanut butter floater! 😋 

@florabama_olerivergrill : Right on the bama/Florida line, this fun restaurant boasts beautiful sunsets, a fun cocktail menu (the key lime colada was amazing!) and you can even rent pontoon boats and jet skis from the marina, or take a dolphin cruise! 🐬 

@theorangebeachstore : I’ve passed this store 100 times but this was my first time inside and now I’m mad that I have been missing out all this time. They have a beautiful selection of really nice souvenirs from great brand names you already know and love. Great quality clothing and other things like blankets, cup, hats, and candles. I shopped forever! 

@fbyachtclub_ : The Flora Bama Yacht club is also right on the state line on the bay side and has fun live music, a really nice menu including crab claws, hummus, chicken pasta, and key lime pie. Service was great and we loved the live music. 

Thank y’all for having us! ✨

Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of my favorite traditions. ✨☕ 
From grabbing coffee to wandering through the decorated stores, there’s just something magical about this season. We laughed, made memories, and even managed to cross a few names off our list. 🎄 (ad) 

One of our favorite stops was Reeds at West Town Mall, where I spotted the new Victorinox Air Pro — a watch that’s Swiss-made with incredible craftsmanship, a stainless steel case, shock + water resistance, and even the ability to track 3 time zones at once. 🙌 It’s modern, timeless, and such a meaningful find for the men in my life.

The best part? Ending the day with full shopping bags, full hearts, and a gift I know will be worn and treasured for years. 💫 @victorinoxnorthamerica
