Happy Friday!
I’m linking up Courtney, Mar and Cynthia for their #FridayFive link-up. The topic this week is “Day in the Life,” which is always fun – I love a peak into how other people spend their days.
Since I just dished on morning routines, I thought I’d take a different spin and give you five things I love about my Fridays.
Five Things I love about Friday
No work — I don’t work on Fridays – I may check in on email quickly but Fridays are a no work day. Instant long weekend!
Trainer workouts —Â Since I started working with Trainer Stacy, I try to get workouts with her in a couple of Fridays a month.
Lunch with Friends —Â No work on Fridays also means I try to book lunch plans with friends as often as possible.
Family downtime — Friday nights are great for just family hangout time. We’re free from homework and my husband and I kind of have an unwritten rule to make no plans for the evening. After running here and there all week, this is one night we can count on to grab dinner and just hang together.
Pizza! — And speaking of dinner, more often than not pizza is the family favorite on Fridays. Sometimes we’ll order take out, but if the energy level is high enough we’ll make our own. Thrown in a glass of wine and it’s the perfect end to a busy week!
 Do you love Fridays as much as I do? Any great plans for the weekend?
I get to speak to great coaching clients on Friday 🙂
Thanks Bennett – you know I always look forward to our calls…even when I’m whining about my running or lack thereof 🙂
That’s awesome that you don’t work on Fridays! I love Fridays too. It’s more laid-back at work so that I can get work done and not have to be in tons of meetings. And I think there’s just a happy vibe to the air!

Definitely a happier vibe – that right there makes a world of difference!
Fridays have always been a favorite for me. These days, I try to take Friday afternoon to myself, whether for a little TV indulgence, reading a book, or maybe even a nap! I like your Fri. night routine with the kids–we try to do that too!

Good for you for snagging some time for yourself – especially a nap!
That’s sounds like such a great Friday! I do work on Fridays, but they’re still my favorite, I get out of work a little earlier on Fridays so being able to start the weekend earlier is always great!

Even just getting out a little earlier really can make such a difference, doesn’t it?
Typically I love Friday but this one is starting out on the chaotic side. My niece broke her arm badly and is in surgery and I’ve got her sibs. My kids are off school, so my whole schedule has been thrown for a loop. Blah! Here’s to the weekend! And pizza!

You know it’s funny I use to scoff at the idea of a trainer, but working with one has really pushed me which I definitely needed this winter!
I would love no work Fridays. Nice thing is that it is quieter.

Yeah I can get through a lot at work knowing Friday is all mine 🙂
Friday is like any other day for me since I am usually working the weekends unfortunately. Have a great weekend!

Since you work on the weekends, do you have days off during the week?
Oh, my gosh…I love pizza on Fridays! Hope you have a great weekend, Michelle!

Thanks Tara! You too!
How awesome to be off on Friday! Snoopy! My sister and I were such Peanuts fans growing up. Why does pizza taste so much better on a Friday night?

Snoopy always makes me smile 😉
LOVE this! no work and pizza on Friday sounds like a winner in my book 🙂

Thanks Mar – Hope you’re having a good weekend!
Nice! Friday nights are usually pretty quiet in my house, since my priority is getting up early for my Saturday morning long run! 😉
Coco (@Got2Run4Me) recently posted…Five Things About Me
Absolutely the added bonus of a mellow Friday night – I like to do my long runs early on Saturday too.
I love just hanging around the house on Fridays too! After a busy, long week it is nice to just relax. Yesterday (Friday) we had a women’s night out for our church. It is so lovely! It takes place at someone’s home, we eat dinner, sing and have special time together.
So nice that you don’t have work on Fridays!!!
Have a great weekend!! 🙂
