How was your weekend?! Mine was both relaxing and productive! It is time to recap some miles!! I am ramping things up for some upcoming races (and also a 50k ultra that I’m pacing at the END of February.) I was able to get in 85.6 miles of running last week! Let’s review and see how it all went down.
Monday AM- 7.12 miles and all smiles. Always love running on my lunch hour. Weather in Dallas the last 2 weeks has actually been quite beautiful – temps in the 50s and 60s just about everyday.
Monday PM- 3.22 miles before teaching a class at the gym. I threw some speedy strides in there for good measure.
Tuesday AM- 8.23 miles with my early morning buds. It’s always good conversation and we throw some hills in at the end. Hills are definitely speedwork in disguise. There are a few hills in my hood that I love to hate but in the end it is all worth it.
Tuesday PM- This run was technically not PM, lol but we will just say that it was. Clearly I was feeling spunky and ended up doing a lunch run. 4.13 miles done.
Wednesday AM- 10.07 solo miles. Of course the sunrise was absolutely beautiful. Heaven.
Wednesday PM- Happy hour run with WRRC. 6.25 miles with an ice cold adult beverage after.
Thursday- 8.24 way too early miles with the run club. Still half asleep.
Friday- Run streak week. Typically my rest day but I ran on this morning. 5.1 miles still feels like a bit of a rest day at this point.
Saturday- 20.03 miles back with the run co-cop. We did some running in the rain & hung out at the Taco Joint after and it was too much fun.
Sunday AM- 5.23 mile Sunday funday morning on the trails.
Sunday PM- 8.03 miles with my girl Ann!! I have known her for a few years and she is one of my true blue running buds. So good to get back on the roads with her again and catch up over some miles.
There you have it!
And, just for giggles, let’s throw a Blue Ivy gif in there!! Did anyone watch the Grammy’s last night? I’m hearing her sassiness on the front row was just awesome.
Hey runners – tell me about your training lately? The good, the bad, the ugly!!

Wow! I wish I had the time to run 80miles a week 😯 The Good: I was cleared by my podiatrist to run as the X-ray showed no fractures! The Bad/Ugly: My stomach was not prepared to begin running faster than a 9:00min pace after all that time off 🤢
It is all about making time, mamacita. But I feel you!! We are all busy. Wishing you happy miles and good vibes for recovery!
Nothing but ugly for me, but I’m happy to see you continuing to crush those miles!
I know it will get better for you soon! Til then keep giving me those good beer recommendations 😉
I’m your huckleberry. What’s your beer type?
LOL – hmmm…I like ciders and some ipas right now. Honestly not super huge into it but sometimes I am in the mood. So yes, any good ciders u know about send ’em my way!
Bold Rock IPA (India Pressed Apple) is the best cider I’ve had. It’s made little over an hour from my house, so I might be biased. 🙂
Yessss!! I’ve actually had that one, when I lived in VA back in my college days. Now I need to head back that way for another one! Thanks for the reminder!
We may have gone over this, but where did you go to college?
Hampton University 🙂 🙂
Yes! I used to live all over Hampton Roads. Small world, eh?
Woohoo!! Absolutely!
Good: I’m finding other cardio workouts. Bad: My back is still not at 100%. Ugly: I may have to defer my upcoming Half Marathon.
I saw you did some spin! Awesome!
Yes, I have been going a “ripped ripe” class, which incorporates free weight for upper-body work.
Get it!
I’d be better off if I was a duck right now:( going out, but it’s tough in this weather:(
Aw, hope some sunshine comes your way soon sweets!
Well I was out there in a monsoon tonight, but I think it helped we had some sunshine during the day today:)
What a week Chelsea!! I finally found the road again, everyone in the house took turns getting sick this past week. Only one positive for the flu!!
Oh man!! Glad you have found the roads again!! Woohoo! Have a great week lady!
