Training Summary: 1/8-14/2018

Hey friends – happy Sunday! I hope you’re having a lovely weekend! 

We’re enjoying a slow start to our day and are all cuddled up on the couch with our coffee (Liv’s got milk) watching the Manchester City game before a busy day of church, errands, organizing the house and coaching work. Luckily, today is my rest day so I don’t have to worry about squeezing a long run in there too! 

Last night Henri’s parents came over to babysit Liv and we got out for a date night! We are really trying to make an effort in 2018 to make date nights a monthly thing again so we’re off to a good start by getting our first one in on the second weekend of the year! We went out for some yummy Japanese-BBQ, walked around Downtown Brea for a bit, and stopped at Creamistry for some ice cream before we were home at 9pm. #momlife is wild, y’all! 😉

Today’ I’m popping in with my training summary from this past week. It’s my first week since CIM over 50 miles AND I got in two workouts and a long run, only 3 week until I’m running a half marathon! Crazy!
