Happy Sunday!
This was a pretty chill week – with the Run to Remember Half waiting for me at the end of the week, I kept things light. Here’s how it all played out.
Run to Remember Race Week
Monday — After Sunday’s return to double digits, Monday was a rest day, with the added bonus of an acupuncture session.
Tuesday — It was a busy day on both the work and homefront, but I was able to get some time on my yoga mat.
Wednesday — 4-mile power walk with a friend.
Thursday — 3-mile run, plus a much-needed massage to work the kinks out of my hamstrings.
Friday — Rest day.
Saturday — 2-mile shakeout run, then I was off to the Run to Remember expo to grab my bib before meeting Kim and her mom and sister for a fun brunch! We had such a good time laughing and catching up we totally forgot to take a picture!
Sunday — 13.4 miles (according to my Garmin) at the Run to Remember half marathon. Half marathon #14 – it felt great to see that finish line after being away from this distance since 2017. Race recap to come.
Now, I’m looking forward to just relaxing and enjoying the rest of this long weekend!
Did you race this weekend?
I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down link-up.
So nice to see you and hang out this weekend. Congrats again on conquering the half marathon distance!
Like you, I am also looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow!
Thanks so much Kim! It was great to catch up! Looking forward to seeing you again in Chicago 🙂
Congrats on your half! You look so happy and I know this means a lot to you after a winter of struggles. Way to get it done!

Coco the fact that we’ve gone this long without a meet-up is a crime! LOL! We’ve got to make that happen soon!
Congratulations on your half marathon! I look forward to hearing about the race. Great light week
Thank you!
Great work. I hate it when you look at your Garmin that you’ve run about a quarter of a mile further than the event distance. Always throws my pacing out.

Yea I know that Garmin measurements are not perfect but I was surprised at just how far off the mile markers were and I checked in with other runners who thought the same. It can play with your head for sure!
Great job!
I raced a 5K this morning. It felt like it was 100 degrees out with full humidity and the only saving grace was that the course was shaded.
Can’t wait to read full details of this.
