Weekend Wrap-Up

Well with the mercury dipping further and further down the thermometer, I was so thankful to have gotten in a long run on Saturday and not be frozen to death! I met my very favorite running buddy Jill and her boyfriend Brian at the canal. Seriously this should be in the Rave Run section of Runner's World. It is a trail that runs along the Cape Cod Canal under several bridges. The sun was shining off the water which made the 26 degrees seem much warmer. Aside from the water and animals and overall calmness there, you get to see wicked cool ships go by! Saturday an oil tanker went by being pushed by a tugboat...it was so cool!!! We were on eye level with it!!! So cool! I felt like a little kid...waving at the tugboat to beep and then cheering when he did! 10 miles flew by and I am so glad to have done it Saturday and not Sunday! I can't wait until the weather warms up and I can bring Em on this with me! There will be so much for her to see!

Sunday was a rest day....as much as one can rest with housework to do, laundry to finish, and a 2 year-old that loves to run and race! I love when she races...she'll get half-way to her finish line and yell "Ready...Go!" My little competitor!

Today I had 5 miles on tap and not a lot of energy to tap into at 5am! I have been hearing a lot about ladder workouts lately so I decided to try it myself. All I have to say is that I am so hooked!!! I didn't push the speed too much since it isn't a speed day but I definitely challenged myself. It made the 5 miles fly by!! I loved it and will definitely be adding it to my weekly workouts! I just love getting the workout done early...now I have the rest of the day!!

Hope you have a marvelous Monday!!
