Weekly Run Down: End of the month and Spring Break

Weekly Mileage-2.jpg

How is it that another week went by?  How is it that it is also the end of March?  I am excited that I am finally on Spring Break!  Maybe now I will be able to start my runs a bit later?  Hopefully.  🙂

Hello April 2019

I have a few things I need to do this week.  We have our STEAM Family Night on April 10th (after Spring Break).   My coworker and I will meet to work on and finalize a few things for that night.  I also need to finalize some of the baby shower games for my niece.  My niece is expecting her first baby in July.  She lives in Denver and will be here on Wednesday for her baby shower on Saturday.  It will be in the afternoon with mostly family members.  Oh, and she is having a girl.  🙂 

Baby Shower Games-1

This week was all easy runs for a total of 12.92 miles.  I moved my runs a bit but still got them done.  I confess that I have been running them faster than I should.  Yikes!  

Pleased with my 4 miles on Wednesday.  I was sweating!

Workout-22

Saturday’s run was 5 miles.  Almost negative splits!

Sunday’s run was (supposed to be) 6 miles.  It was sunny but still cold.  See the ice in the picture below?  I couldn’t finish my run because I had a family emergency and needed to get home.  I am hoping that I can still get a run later because today is the last day of Deborah’s RunBet Challenge.  I mean, I am almost done…just one more run.  🙂 <<For a run to count in this challenge, it has to be at least 30 minutes.

Overall, another great week.  Happy to know that this coming week it will be warmer again. 

Linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down.

    Great job getting your runs done! I bet it will be nice to have some more time to do them while on break. Congrats to your niece!

    That’s great that a week of easy runs coincided with your Spring Break. Warmer weather will get here someday!

      My mistake. I guess the title is misleading? I meant to say that this week is my Spring Break and not this past week.

        Oops! I wasn’t quite sure which it was, but it could just be me.

    You had a pretty solid week of training! You have been doing great with the challenge. You can always do a walk today to get that last one in! Thanks for participating (I may schedule another one in a few weeks) and thanks for linking up

      Thanks Deborah! I love that this challenge got me even more motivated to do a run.

    Well done!! I’m looking forward to real spring weather…this weekend was so cold & windy (BUT, it was dry and above-freezing LOL). Thank you so much for linking with us 😉

      I want nice weather so I can wear shorts. Is that too much to ask? 🙂

    Hooray for spring break! Are you going anywhere?

    1. Zenaida Arroyo Avatar

      I am not. But that is OK since I do like being home during Spring Break.

    Enjoy spring break! How fun to be planning a baby shower. So exciting! I need to get going on planning my daughter’s graduation party.

    1. Zenaida Arroyo Avatar

      I have a few games in mind but also worry that people won’t like them. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

    Enjoy spring break! This week finally felt a little more spring like. I’m ready!

    1. Zenaida Arroyo Avatar

      Thank you! To me Spring Break is a time to take things easy and sometimes not do anything.

    Baby showers are so much fun! Congrats to your niece! We are just ending Spring Break. My kids will be exhausted tomorrow morning when the tough reality of waking up super early hits them again!

    1. Zenaida Arroyo Avatar

      Thanks Lisa! I hope it went well today with them? I know it is hard that first day back. I know it will be like that for us next Monday.

    I hope everything is ok with your family. Emergencies can be so hard 🙁

    You had a great week in spite of everything. Your running is going great and you are absolutely staying on track.

    Enjoy your Spring Break!

      Thank you. I am hoping this week goes smoothly too.

    Congrats to your niece! How fun to be planning a baby shower! If ypu’re doing your runs “too fast” maybe you are getting faster?

    1. Zenaida Arroyo Avatar

      Yes that make sense but I am supposed to be running them much slower.

  14. Renée Avatar

    good week and how fun about the upcoming baby shower <3 sorry your last run was cut off because of a family emergency. hopefully everything is ok now.

    1. Zenaida Arroyo Avatar

      Thank you. I hope everyone enjoys the games. But I guess a baby shower isn’t about the games but more about being with family and celebrating the mom and dad to be.

    Sorry to hear about the family emergency but I hope everything worked out ok and you got in that last run 🙂 The baby shower sounds fun, congrats to your niece!

      Thanks! Yes, family gatherings are always lots of fun. I look forward to getting together with my cousins, aunts, and other family members.

    Those baby shower invites are too cute! How fun. I hope the emergency worked out and maybe it saved you from falling on that ice – yikes!!

    1. Zenaida Arroyo Avatar

      Haha, that ice was awful! I thought for sure we were done with the icy weather. I guess not.

  18. Debbie @ Deb Runs Avatar

    Here’s hoping for warmer weather for all of us soon! I hope you have a great time with your niece visiting and that the baby shower is a fun success!
