Happy Sunday!
How was your first full week of the new year?
My week was straight up crazy! I expected things to be hectic at work, but throw in a mild concussion for my youngest (ah the joys of hockey) and a 100 lb. dog with an ear-infection who won’t cooperate with the vet, and yeah…I couldn’t get to Friday fast enough!
Amongst the chaos, I did what I could to eke out my workouts. Here’s how things went down:
Monday – Strength work
Tuesday – 3.25 mile run in the sleet and fog
Wednesday – Rest day
Thursday – 4 miles in ridiculous wind
Friday – Rest
Saturday – 5.25 miles
Sunday – Yoga
While we dodged the snow here, the bitter cold came charging back this week, and it looks like winter is finally planning to stick around for a bit.
Thankfully, my son is doing better, except for being cranky about not being able to return to the ice, and he’ll be headed back to school tomorrow. My furbaby is also on the mend, so peace is finally returning to the RWA household!
And that’s a wrap!
I’m joining Wendy and Holly for the Weekly Wrap, and guest host Kim.
Oh no! So sorry to hear about all your craziness this week, but glad that both your son and fur baby are feeling better now.
Nice job on your workouts this week, especially those cold outdoor runs!

Thanks Kim 🙂
I’m glad your son is OK. That must have been frightening

Definitely scary! Thankfully he’s doing ok.
That wind sure was hard to run in this week. What doesn’t kill us …right?! Sounds like you had a lot going on last week. Hope things calm down for you this week

Thanks Deborah 🙂
Wow, those issues are more than minor inconveniences. Glad you son is OK. I’m sure that was worrisome though. Great runs! For once, WE HAVE SNOW! But I can’t take a snow day because I have to take an Amtrak ….

Definitely happy to have that crazy week behind me!
Yuck on the winter weather (and everyone thinks I’m nutzo for LOVING summer LOL). Our son spent the past almost two weeks on the couch, recovering from his tonsillectomy. He drove back to his college town Friday night (to avoid the overnight snow), and goes back to class tomorrow. Not a concussion, but definitely a high-maintenance recovery.

Wow that’s a long recovery! Good that he’s feeling well enough to return to campus.
Oh wow so sorry about the concussion. Very scary. I’ve dealt with my share of canine ear infections. I’m sure treatment is no picnic on a big dog like yours though. Solid week of workouts though despite the chaos!

Wrestling with the 100 lb fur-baby has been both crazy and comical!
A difficult week – well done for getting your workouts and running in! We are getting colder again here, ugh. As long as the snow stays away …

Oh I hope you can avoid the snow! We’ve dodged it here, but it’s been so so cold!
Oh gosh! What a week but so glad to see things are on the mend for both human and fur baby! Also happy to see that the craziness as well as the weather conditions didn’t slow your roll! Well done on a solid week of training.

Thanks so much Shathiso 🙂
I get it about the wind. It was crazy this week and then the wind died but it got colder.
Hope this week is better for both of us.

I’m not sure which is worse – the wind or the colder temps?!
Oh, how scary for you and your son! I’m glad he’s feeling better.
And poor pup. We dealt with ear infections and a less than cooperative pup for MONTHS. Granted, our pug doesn’t weigh 100lbs but he can be super dramatic when he wants to be.
You did great getting everything in despite the challenges!

Thanks Jenn!
We battle the ear infections with Cocoa all the time–those cocker spaniel ears! It’s hard to get the medicine in her ears and she’s only 25#. I can’t imagine wrestling with a 100# dog.
I’m glad your son is on the mend. Is he able to return to light activity?
The wind was ridiculous last week!
Wendy recently posted…Proceeding with Caution
The whole process of trying to get the medicine in my dog’s ears was quite the workout, and I must admit I wasn’t terribly successful. LOL.
I’m so glad he is doing better now! I had a crazy week too and didn’t get enough weekend. I did get to run outside for the first time in a really long time so that was great!

Glad you were able to get an outdoor run!
OMG what a week. I hope that was the end of the craziness! you did what you could at least (where workouts are concerned). Hopefully your son is much better now!!

It was pretty crazy around here, but thankfully everyone is doing better!
Sounds like a hectic week, so great job fitting in those workouts!! It has been bitter cold here this week, so I have been sticking to the treadmill. Glad your pup is on the mend 🙂
It’s always good to have the treadmill as an option – it’s just been too cold lately!
Good to see you’re keeping up with the running! 🙂 Stay strong!
Thanks Jill 😉
