Mileage Monday

Running stats for the week of September 22nd - September 28th... I did horrible on anything health related this week. I didn't run at all... I didn't drink any water... I ate bad... and I didn't get my steps in. YIKES! My supervisor was heading off on vacation so I was trying hard to soak in every possible tip and trick from her before she left. I am in charge this week and it is definitely stressful, but all I can do is do my best and hope it goes okay.

Buckeye Lake Family Time

When I took my new job I got a nice sum of vacation days to use. However... it has been both a blessing and a curse because even though I have all these days, I really don't have the time to take them all. YIKES! It's either use them or lose them so my supervisor and I sat down and started to map out when we could take all these days off in the next couple of months. My first vacation time, Dan and I decided to spend in Ohio with his family. We don't all get together very often so it was very nice to see everyone for a few days.


My niece Mallory... AKA Happy!


Yes, it was a tad chilly on the lake.


My sister-in-law Ali and my nephew Elliott.


Swans on the lake!!


Uncle Dan and Happy!!


And who could forget Aunt Boo!!!!


Remi had a mini vacation too at Grams and Gramps house in P-town... but I sure was happy to get him back home us :)

Running stats for the week of September 15th - 21st... it was super nice weather this past week, which was really nice to run in. I'm looking forward to Fall! However, I ended up getting a pretty bad cold and felt more and more miserable as the week progressed. I really wanted to do a 6 miler on Sunday, but only got 4 in before I had to call Dan to have him pick me up on the side of the road. I was wiped out. Today I'm feeling somewhat better, but I have almost completely lost my voice which could be a blessing to some I suppose... AKA Dan!

Running stats for the week of September 8th - September 14th... Can you tell by my step counts that I was on vacation this week and spent most of my time relaxing?? Awwwww... it was nice. I'm feeling great on my runs still and actually on my one Sunday evening I pushed myself hard. I did experience more right knee pain than usual on this run though. YIKES! I stretched and iced it down in hopes that it doesn't progress into something more. As for my goal to drink more water... that's a tough one for me and I haven't even come close to reaching my 500 oz per week. PHEW! And... since I was on vacation I went a tad bit crazy on my Starbucks drinking. Hey, that's what vacations are for right! I'll try to be good for the next few weeks... no Starbucks! :)
