Good morning! We are home from our adventures to Chicago and Wisconsin. It’s good to be home, but it was nice to be spoiled for a few days. It was nice for someone else to plan the meals. I don’t mind cooking, but I am not a fan of meal planning LOL. So, today, I’m joining up with my friends Deborah, Coco, and Lynda for a virtual coffee date.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that a month from now I’ll be done with my back to back marathons challenge. This week I will run 15+ and 20 back to back as my last long training runs. It’s a good thing I work for a close friend because I had to tell him that on Thursday and Friday I’ll be running most of the school day and that after the run I’m stupid. I actually read an article somewhere about your body stealing the carbs your brain needs to think and I totally experience the post long run “dumbs”.
If we were having coffee, I’d also tell you that I came home to an awesome package of Skirt Sports goodness. I only have one more Happy Girl skirt to buy and I’ll have the entire spring collection LOL. And the capris are for our Ragnar Cape Cod team. I can’t believe it’s so close now!
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you I had to cancel my plans to run Rock’n’Roll Raleigh. We just have way too much going on that weekend and as much as I’d love to run the race, I don’t NEED a NC race (already done) and I’m not counting half marathons this year, so it would have just been for fun. I’m going to try to replace it with Philly in the fall, but it’s during soccer and birthday season, so who knows? Don’t forget you can get $15 off of registration using code MCMMamaRuns RNR.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I’m loving seeing everyone “Rock Your Core”. Great job! Keep up the amazing work! And check out these awesome recipes that Nutrifitmama put together. I can’t wait to try them myself.
Overnight Blueberry Bliss Oat Smoothie Bowl
Sweet Potato with Edamame, Roasted Veggies & Thai Peanut-Sriracha
Finally, if we were having coffee, I’d tell you that the Tuesdays on the Run topic is “managing your time during marathon (or half or triathlon) training”. I know I’m not the only one who has to juggle their workouts with family, work, and other interests. Join us and share your experience and tips.
Remember, if you link back to us, you can add ANY running related post and it doesn’t have to be written on Tuesday. So, we’ll see you there, right???
Happy Saturday! What would you share with me if we were having coffee???
Hope you had a great trip. I love those outfits. I’m very much looking forward to wearing less during my runs! Bring on the tanks!
Oh, I love that skirt (and the top) – I like all the bright colored ones but nice to have a blackish one!!
Hope the week shapes up well and nothing gets in the way of your back-to-back long runs!!
Those capris look super cute! I need to up my fashion game, especially now that the weather is warmer!

love the outfits! I am waiting on the mailman to deliver me a little skirtsports package! I signed up for their virtual run and then of course had to spend my gift certificate and then some! Rock your core is a lot of fun so far, taking the pics are tough but I am loving it! Happy Easter!

Let me know if you make it up to Philly! I am trying to figure out how to volunteer to be a bike marshal or course escort. I’m on vacation this week and limiting my posts to those that have already been written in draft, but I totally hear you on your Tuesdays on the Run topic for the week. Time management is a real challenge.

Love that you already had NC done (because it was so much fun to do it with you!)

I am with you on the meal planning! I’ll even go to the grocery store if you tell me what to buy! My fall is so busy — it seems like everything happens at the same time.
