Chasing My Joy

My journey to becoming an Ultra Runner and Ironman

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!

2015.

2015 was a pretty fun year, full of travel, family and love. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights:

A quick trip in March to Moab for the Behind the Rocks Ultra

Cory did great on a wind, cold, wet day, #proudwife #BostonMarathon #BostonStrong

Traveled to Boston to watch Cory run the the Boston Marathon

Beautiful morning for a graduation #hopefullynotthelasttime

In May we traveled to Santa Fe to celebrate my graduation

Last workout of the day done! Lots of wildlife out, pelicans, great blue heron, bunnies and one wild pug #IMTraining #IMCanada #WinstonThePug #ironpug

June/July was lots of training for summer races

Bikes racked and ready it's almost go time!!! #teamsoas2015 #weareSOAS #IMBoulder70point3

Ironman Boulder 70.3 brought the heat and the fun

Whisper really is stunning! Also looking forward to getting home and plotting new adventures

July took us to Whistler where my Ironman was cut short by ridiculous weather but it was still well worth the visit

Super inspiring weekend cheering and volunteering at the Leadville 100 #lt100 #ultramarathon #trailrun

August brought more training and volunteering at the Leadville 100 again (I am putting in my time so when my year comes around I will get in for sure!)

In October Cory and ran off to Disneyland for one last trip with just the two of us, we knew we were planning on starting a family and everything would change soon

In November we added a family member in the form of a French Bulldog named Humphry, he is the sweetest little clown

Cory is excited to match our little one for next season #gobroncos

In December we celebrated with family and finally announced that we are expecting a (human) addition to the family in June

Overall 2015 was pretty great but we are mainly looking forward to 2016 and all of the new exciting changes.
