This week’s WORKOUT recap (FYI each day also included the 30 day thigh challenge workout):
Monday:
Stretch and strength training. Nothing that exciting.
Tuesday:
Jogged 3 miles. Supposed to be at an easy pace, however I had to speed up towards the end because the sun had set. When people cannot see how mismatched your running clothes are, it’s too dark to be running without a flashlight.
Wednesday:
Ran 8x400m repeats on a treadmill that wasn’t made before I was born. It was so nice.
I looked at my training schedule, and that was the last of those repeats for this half marathon training cycle. #winning
Thursday:
Supposed to jog 3 miles at an easy pace. HOWEVER it was my mom’s birthday, and if that’s not an excuse to miss a workout, I don’t know what is. I might do this on Friday (my normal rest day), but I might not. I have a long run scheduled for Saturday and a pace run scheduled for Sunday, so I think my legs might want the rest day.

On to my mom’s birthday recap!
My mom really needed a small purse that she could bring to work along with her work bag. She runs a lot of errands at lunch and had been carrying around an ugly free canvas tote she got from CVS…
So my sister and I got her this
It looks like this when it’s not folded up
Nordstrom wrapped it up all nice and perty like this for me
But of course I had to throw her off and rewrap it in this
From my dad, my mom got sunglasses and this
For dinner, we met up with Kyle and went to Santorini. Unfortunately just a restaurant, not the island.
I gave Kyle most of my rice, so of course I looked like the pig who ate faster (and more) than her boyfriend…
And for dessert my mom wanted a Mocha Cream Cake.
What was the best workout you had this week?
Do you do anything when wrapping presents to throw off the recipient? Give me tips 😉
The best work out I had this week was definitely the WOD I did Monday…with push ups, sit ups, and squats. I ended feeling like a beast!
And now…I want Mom’s purse. Seriously. How cool is that?
That’s cause you are a beast!
I’ll ask Mom if she’ll share with you, but she seemed pretty in love last night…
I had two great workouts this week – a quick 3k with Hilary in tow and Zumba last night – feeling good today!
We did a poem for my brother/sister-in-law (he was in Afghanistan but home on leave). My husband wrote a poem to announce our first pregnancy and we taped it to a gift card / in a bigger gift card box. They thought it was just a gift card …. but it was a niece (months later).
OMG that is an AMAZING present/trickery! LOVE IT! So cute!
Haha, glad you have the broom option.
One Christmas my dad and sis made a fake gift certificate for a fake tattoo parlor. I think it was called Insane Clown Tattoos. It was made out to my mom for SEVERAL hundred dollars. And it said “No refunds” very clearly. She. Was. Not. Amused. She fell for it hard, and got so very angry. We all had a good laugh (except my mom, she’s still mad all these years later). Your fam might get along with mine.
HAHAHA so funny! Yes, I’m sure they would get along swimmingly- pranks and all.
Haha the Irvine voucher is hilarious. Cute bag!
Lol yeah, that’s my dad…thank you 🙂
