When life hands you lemons…
Eat them!
Thanks for the life wisdom, Max.
Did you know I’m running a race tomorrow? I haven’t talked about it at all 😉
I’m pretty excited and a lot less nervous than I thought I would be. After my meltdown the other night, I’m feeling ready to run out my stress. There’s nothing like a good run to clear out the clutter and put things into perspective. I NEED tomorrow’s run for my mental health!
My goal is to run a 1:44.
I could possibly run 1:42 if it’s an amazing day.
A PR (better than 1:48) is my fallback goal.
Overall though, I just want to enjoy myself. Shake off my stress, negative feelings and doubts and enjoy the sport that has given me so much these last 12+ years.
And then come home to this guy:
What are you up to this weekend? Anyone racing?
Motherhood and Marathons 
Best wishes for your race tomorrow! Enjoy the run!
Thank you so much!
Good luck on your race!! Sounds like some amazing goals!!!! No racing this weekend for me, just a long run in the rain in looks like.
Thank you so much! I hope the rain holds off for your long run!
Thanks me too!!!
Good Luck in the race tomorrow!! You will do GREAT! I race a local 5k Sunday….totally stoked about it!
Thank you so much! Good luck in your race on Sunday!
What a cute boy!!
Oh my goodness, EVERYONE is 13.1-ing this weekend! I’m running a half on Sunday. I’m using it to practice my goal marathon pace, so nothing very exciting. Best of luck to you – I look forward to your recap!
Thank you, Hanna! Haha, I know – it’s a popular weekend for races! Have fun and good luck on Sunday!!
Good luck on your race! I am running the St. Michaels Half tomorrow!
Thank you so much! Good luck to you, too!
Good luck! Have lots of fun!
Thank you so much!
OMG. I love those pics of Max and the lemon – he is such a cutie!!
Good luck this weekend – rock it for all the awesome moms out there, including yourself!!
Thank you so much!! I’ll try!!
So many races this weekend!! Can’t wait to see how you do! P.S. I love eating lemons covered in splenda… so weird.
Thanks, Maddie!! Lemons and Splenda actually sounds good – kinda like lemonade 🙂
Hahaha, kids and lemons are too much in combo!!
Good luck in your race! Glad you will get your “you” time in and run all your stress away! Hope the weather’s in your favor and you can PR big too 😀
Thank you so much! Oh man, the weather! I think it’s supposed to rain 😦
Yeah, it’s supposed to rain here too
But hopefully it’s a nice cool light rain? That wouldn’t be so bad!
Good luck this weekend! I’m not running but my daughter is running the 2km at the Bluenose Marathon tomorrow! I’m actually part of a panel discussion/presentation at the Marathon so that’s pretty cool!
Oh my, his face in that second picture is priceless! Good luck, you’ve got this!
How was the race??? I hope it was amazing!
Ahh it was OK! I PR’d, but didn’t hit the time I really wanted. I’ll get a post-up tomorrow (hopefully)! Thank you for asking!!
Congrats on the PR!! That’s definitely something to be proud of 🙂
Thank you!
I hope you had a great race! Can’t wait to hear about it!
Thanks, Sue!! I PR’d, but didn’t hit the time goal I really wanted!! Classic case of going out too fast 🙂 I’ll get a re-cap up soon! Thank you for asking!
