It’s Sunday evening and I am t-i-r-e-d y’all. But it’s a good kind of tired – the kind that comes from a fun whirlwind weekend.
Before I get to the weekend activities, a quick re-cap of the week’s workouts (and, yes, the daily planking continues!):
Monday: Strength day.
Tuesday: 3.25 mile run.
Wednesday: Strength with Trainer Stacy.
Thursday: Migraine = no run.
Friday: Yoga. I had wanted to make up Thursday’s run, but my head wasn’t having it.
Saturday: My hubby J ran with me again – 4.25 miles done. I have to admit it makes me crazy that he takes the hills with such ease, but it pushes me to keep up.
Sunday: Yard and garden work.
So the big question of this week was how much lacrosse can you fit into 7 days? Well, we started with 3 games for my oldest son with his school’s team during the week. I really don’t know why the Athletic Director allowed 3 games in one week, but we were there to cheer him on.

One could say that was plenty of lacrosse right there – especially when you add in that my youngest son had practice twice this week. But the big doings came this weekend, when we made the trip down to Providence to see my alma mater take on Navy in the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Quarter Finals. Our tickets covered two games so we first got to see Maryland vs. Syracuse – a great match up, though we were rooting for Syracuse. Then it was on to Brown vs. Navy! We withstood some rowdy Navy fans and cheered our hearts out through a nail-bitter to see Brown move on to the semi-finals!

You’d think we’d be all-lacrossed out by this point right? Nope. Both boys played for our town teams this morning (with J coaching), and then watched the other two quarter final games on ESPN this afternoon. Yeah…it’s a bit of an obsession in my house.
This week should be the usual mix of work, school, runs/workouts, and yes more lax…oh and I’ve got the Run to Remember 5-miler next weekend. I haven’t figure out what, if any, my goals are for this race…more on that later.
How was your week? Does your family have a sport obsession?
I’m linking up again with Holly & Tricia for the #WeeklyWrap — thanks to them for hosting!
My husb recorded all the NCAA lacrosse games since we were at my son’s graduation this weekend. I guess we’ll be watching the games the week! This is the last year we can see some of my son’s former teammates in the games.

How cool that you actually know some of the players! My boys were in heaven this weekend 🙂
I don’t have any LaCrosse players in the house but most of Thing 1’s friends play so either she or we are there watching! Here track and gymnastics have dominated the season. Sorry about the migraine but otherwise you had an excellent week!

I can’t pass on either track or gymnastics if I catch it on TV. I’d love it if one of them caught the track bug, but since the season conflicts with Lax I doubt it will happen.
That is a lot of lacrosse! It sounds like a really busy week. I hope the headaches are better. I struggled with sinus headaches mid week and it really threw off my routine.

Sorry about you dealing with sinus headaches. I’m sure allergies combined with the crazy swings in temp contributed to mine. Hope you’re better this week!
Sounds like a busy week! That is a lot of lacrosse but great that is something the whole family enjoys! Good luck in your 5 miler at Run to Remember!

Thanks Sharon!
Great job on the daily planking. You know, I’ve never seen a game of lacrosse but always enjoyed watching any sport my kids were in. It sounds like you had a really fun trip to Providence. The sports obsessions in our house would be primarily golf, football and baseball. Thanks for linking with us Michelle!

We’ve tried a little bit of every sport in this house – it’s been fun to see what my boys gravitate towards.
lax is time consuming! We are done for the season until the summer league starts 🙂

It really is all consuming! We’ll be taking the summer off – as much as I love it, I’m looking forward to taking a little break.
Holy moly!!! That is plenty of Lacrosse.
Thankfully, we are not at that point yet with the kid’s activities but it is about to get real for my daughter as she starts competitive team practice next week @ 9hrs a week.
Congrats on the Brown win..I can only imaging how exciting that was!
The competitive team will be so exciting! And 9 hours a week is no joke – good luck!
Sounds like a busy but fun week!! We used to spend a lot of time watching soccer and tennis.

It was a fun week! The obsession continues this weekend with the finals! 🙂
Glad you’ve found a sport the whole family can enjoy! We love SEC football, the Crimson Tide in particular. Our lives revolve around college football late August through the National Championship game in early January.

The SEC is so competitive – always fun to watch!
Poo on the Migraine, but yay for the hubs running with you. Mine is still running some, it’s about to get hot hot here so we will see. We’re headed to the beach this weekend to celebrate Memorial Day. No real plans except for a 5k, which I’m really looking forward too!
Hope you have a great weekend!
