Happy Monday!
Our weekend was busy and so much fun. We went to the Indianapolis Zoo on Saturday, then on Sunday we celebrated Max’s birthday with our families. To say I’m exhausted would be an understatement. But it was a blast. Here’s a snippet of our weekend in pics:
On the running front I had a pretty good week. I ran 41 miles total, with a fast-for-me 9-miler Sunday after the party. Daily mileage breakdown:
Monday- 5 miles at lunch
Tuesday – 2 miles w/ the jogging stroller
Wednesday – 7 miles AM, 2 miles PM w/ the stroller
Thursday – 3.5 miles AM, PM – 2.5 miles
Friday – 4 miles AM, 4 miles afternoon, 2 miles PM w/ jogging stroller
Saturday – OFF
Sunday – 9 miles
Total = 41 miles
My half mary is less than 2 weeks away. Wooohooo!
Have a great week!
What did you do this weekend?
What’s your favorite animal to see at the zoo?
Max loved the Gibbons – they are in the ape family. They kept swinging around and Max was so excited he squealed. It was ADORABLE.
How was your running/cross-training/cycling or whatever last week?
Pretty good – Feeling strong and ready to race
Motherhood and Marathons 
Awh, your son is too cute!!! Sounds like you had a great week!!!!
Thank you so much! We did have fun 🙂 I hope you had a great weekend, too!
I did, thanks!!!! ❤
Awesome week, Molly! And happy birthday to Max! I love his “dos” shirt 🙂
My favorite zoo animal is…otters. They are so playful and really fun to watch. I kinda wish I could have one!
Thank you!! I love otters, too. They’re adorable.
This weekend was pretty chill! I got some good running and eating in 🙂
I love to see the monkeys. Those guys crack me up.
Last week was actually pretty painful in the running world. The beginning of the week, I was very sore. It took me a while to recover from my 14 miler last Sunday. Probably because of the added wind resistance! It was no joke!
I hope you have an amazing Monday 🙂
Wind makes you work so much harder. It makes you stronger though so good for you! Thanks!! I hope you had a great Monday, too
awe. Looks like you guys had a great weekend.! Happy Birthday to your little guy Max. He is adorable.! 🙂
great running week.! we’ll be racing the same weekend. how fun.!
My running week was similar, good and ready to race also.!
Thank you! Yay!! That’s awesome 🙂
Looks like a great weekend! 🙂 Are you still sore?
A little! I foam rolled like it was my job Saturday night and that helped 🙂
So adorable! That’s a great week of running too! I haven’t been to a zoo in years but I love the monkeys and the big cats. 🙂
Thank you!! The monkeys always crack me up.
I can’t wait to see how your race goes with all these great high mileage weeks under your belt. And good for you for having a good fast run after the party even! That’s dedication!
Thank you!!! Fingers crossed that it goes well. Haha I was fueled by lots of cake and jelly beans 🙂
Great running week!! The zoo looks so fun and those pictures of you and Max are too cute 🙂 I think I’m going to need to go to the zoo soon… I feel like a kid again when I’m there!
Thanks, Maddie! I felt like a kid again there, too. It was really fun!
You’re an inspiration to me! You’re a mom and make time for all that running- I have trouble getting that mileage in on a good week!
Thank you so much! This was definitely a good week for me mileage-wise. The nice weather and being able to use the jogging stroller helped a lot 🙂 I usually don’t run quite as many miles!
