Monday MisMash

Seventy mile week are becoming the new norm

I successfully took a running rest day this past week. 
See that little tiny 3 mile day.
It is a huge accomplishment for me.  Almost on par with successfully cross training. 
not the I accomplished that too baby steps people
I did however get my long run in on Sunday which I am completely shocked that I did.
The big miles, the run streaking, the kids, the husband, the big girl job, the date on the calendar, all combine to completely exhaust me this week.  I entered the weekend simply needing a break but knowing that I had to get my B2B started on Sunday.
So when Friday came I was all too ready to allow my wake up miles to be my only run of the day.
Followed by....
Roller derby may be in my future

More Roller Skating! 
I think my family should form a team.
We were so busy having a blast that I forgot to take photos.  Luckily the oldest snapped some to share.

 
The hay barn is completely down

After many hours on my feet between running and rolling, I was ready to put my feet up and enjoy our surprise snow storm.  The weather couldn't have been more beautiful.  It was a peaceful end to a very full day.

Why I love PA winters

  2. Congratulations on moving up another spot...you're now at 66 I see.

    I don't know if the snow storm would be that welcomed here, but having a good treadmill inside would certainly make it bearable !

  4. We've had snow in England too. It looked really beautiful when we woke up on Sunday morning. Well done on that 73 mile week, wish I could still get so many in. Not that I would!

  5. The thought of an almost rest day and x-training in the same week would have been HUGE news. You'll get there. When you're ready. ;)

  9. You are such an inspiration with your running. I run 6 days a week with Monday a complete rest day. I still feel I need more rest sometimes. The snow photos are fantastic! We don't see that here in South Africa.
