I’ve got my favorite mug filled so it’s time for another round of my Friday Five.
Don’t think, just go — My joy of returning to the great outdoors was short-lived as snow and icy roads have sent me back to the mill this week. But I have refused to get hung up about it…don’t think, just go!
Senior Posse — The January fanfare at the gym has subsided so the one benefit of returning to the mill is the ease at which I can find a parking pace in the lot and I get my choice of machines once inside. One interesting trend I have noticed this week is how many seniors have been showing up – and unlike some of their younger counterparts, they’re there to workout, not chat! I love it!
Family running — My oldest has picked his next 5K! He’ll be joining me for the B.A.A. 5K on Marathon weekend. J also decided to register so it looks like it’s time for some family training runs 🙂
#FFBurpee Challenge — As I wrap-up the first week of the burpee challenge, I have no problem admitting that this challenge is kicking my butt! I’ve been trying to do some burpees in the morning and then the rest in the evening so it doesn’t feel so daunting. My youngest son’s been joining me for the evening round and you can’t beat his enthusiasm for motivation!
Quiet Weekend Ahead — Aside from the usual chauffeuring the boys around to meet friends and get to their sports commitments, I’m looking forward to a fairly quiet weekend in the RWA household. With the amount of racing around that is the norm around here, I’ve learned to really savor these weekends where there’s actually white space on the calendar.
How’s your week been? Any weekend plans?
So great that you and your son are running the BAA 5k. What a cool experience that one will be for him.
It’s funny, when we have less scheduled I find myself looking for things to fill the time, but then I remember that yes, the extra time is a gift! Enjoy your quiet weekend.
I’m pretty excited that after my 18 miler tomorrow morning, I can laze around the rest of the day! I’ve had very busy weekends lately and this one is full Friday and Sunday — but that Saturday post run time is MINE! 🙂
I’m sick of the TM and hoping to get some good runs outside! That’s great that you all are running the Boston 5K! (i’m visiting from the link up by the way)
That’s exciting about the BAA race. I was SO excited to do the medley, however I realized that last year’s half (I think) was Columbus Day weekend. Every Columbus Day I’m committed to helping my friend sell her jewelry at a huge art festival in RI that whole weekend. I decided if I can’t do all three, I was just going to skip out. Very disappointed though…maybe some day.
Have a great weekend!
I was savoring my coffee in my favorite mug this morning, too! I have nothing on the books this weekend, which I’m THRILLED about because I’ve had something going on every weekend for like the rest of my life. Well, maybe not that much, but close. 🙂
That BAA 5k is on my bucket list! I’ve been saying I’ll come back and run that sucker since 2010. I have a race on Sunday. There’s snow forecast Saturday into Sunday. It’ll be a game day call as to whether I actually run it.
I love that you are running with your son. Our daughter will do 5 or 10ks with me, the boys really don’t want to. We finally have rain here in California {much needed} and this weekend looks like a movie and snuggle weekend…oh and catching up on the Olympics 🙂
Lots going on but glad you have a blank weekend to rest up!
What a fun family running weekend that will be! I’m laying low this weekend, because I think next weekend will be busy!
