Weekly Rundown – Under Water

I am linking up with Jessie at The Right Fits and Jess Runs ATL to recap last weeks training.

———–

I am still working on getting in all my workouts as planned. They key seems to be determination and flexibility. It also means 4am alarms, lost sleep and a very supportive husband. I am still committed to building strength while I continue to contemplate long term plans.

Monday: Dirty Thirty strength training

Tuesday: 3 mile run and Upper Body Fix

Friday morning miles ***** #hokaoneone #letsfly #motherrunner #letsgohoka #seenonmyrun #runchat #run #roadbacktofitness

Wednesday: 2.5 mile run

Thursday: 3.6 mile run and Lower Body Fix from 21 Day Fix

Gorgeous fall running will never get old #hokaoneone #letsfly #motherrunner #letsgohoka #seenonmyrun #coloRADo #runchat #run

Friday: 2.5 mile run

Saturday: family walk and fun at our neighborhood fall fest

Baby Boy, Fall, Pumpkins

I know which pumpkin I would pick!

Sunday: 7.5 mile long run and 1300 yd swim (so good to be back in the pool!)

Pool, Swim, Triathlete, GoPro

Total: About 19 miles of running and 5.5 hours of training. It’s a work in progress, hoping to get my training time up to at least 12 hours a week in the next month or so as I continue to figure out how to juggle everything.

Cannon // 4 Month Check In

My precious little guy turned 4 months old this week.

Baby Boy, 4 Months Old

He is now 15 lbs 3oz (44%) and 25.75 in (76%)

I can’t believe how much he has changed in such a short time. Already I see tiny little newborns and miss those early days. That said I wouldn’t go back as Cannon is more and more fun and interactive than ever.

We do our ab work as a team #cmcn #21dayfix #pilatesfix #babyfix #roadbacktofitness #17weekspostpartum

The last month had much less big adventures and was more about trying to settle into life. Things feel very hectic most of the time and I feel like most days revolve around, getting bottles ready for Cannon to go to school, filling them with milk or cleaning them out.

Because #nationalcoffeeday #everydayiscoffeedaytho #dowhatyoulove

We did celebrate fall this month by going to a pumpkin patch for the first time with Grandma and Grandpa. I love having my parents close (they live 2 miles away) and they love being with Cannon as much as possible. pp

We took Cannon on his first hike, he seemed to love it and even took a nap which is unheard of for this kid. I think we have an outdoor enthusiast on our hands!

hike, baby, baby wearing

Cannon’s favorite things right now are assisted standing and baths.

Look at that bald spot, it kills me :)

This month was also hard because Cannon got sick TWICE! Not too surprising when you have a little one in day care but it still breaks my heart when he doesn’t feel good.

At one of our many trips to the doctor.

He is finally feeling better and we are looking forward to the fun of his first Halloween.

Weekly Rundown – Back on the Trails

I am linking up with Jessie at The Right Fits and Jess Runs ATL to recap last weeks training.

———–

Last weeks training did not go completely as planned, we still have a sick baby (boo) and birthday celebrations were had (yay). I am hoping this week will be a little bit less eventful and more consistent with the workouts. Here is how last week shook out:

Monday: Rest Day

Tuesday: 4 mile run

Wednesday: Upper and Lower body fix from 21 day fix

Thursday: 2.5 mile run in the morning and Pilates Fix in the evening

Friday: Core workout

Saturday: family hike in Nederland and Dirty Thirty strength workout

My favorite time of the year and one of my favorite trails. I ❤️ Colorado in the fall! #hike #fall #colorado

Sunday: Nothin’….was supposed to be a long run and yoga but the day got away from me and I ate cake instead (not to worry, I got run and yoga in today 😉

Birthday Cake, Cold Stone Creamery

Total: ~5 hours of training, definitely an easy week. I am determined to make it to the pool this week!
