Walt Wednesday

Some people do a "Wordless Wednesday" post, where they simply share a photo or image, but I thought I'd make a little series out of my Wednesdays. And since I love alliteration so much, why not go with Walt Wednesdays (obviously everyone can use a little break from the seriousness, scariness and sassiness of life - and what better way to help put a smile on your face than with a cute wiener dog picture, am I right?!)... So, without further ado...

WALT WEDNESDAY!

When life gets overwhelming, how do you de-stress?

My parents were in town this week for the holidays, so the hubby and I were able to talk my daddy-o into joining us on our Christmas Light run. The hubby and I also got in a run down in San Diego after dropping my padres at the airport. Alrighty, I'm thinking this will be my last week of laxed running/ workouts. I'm going to do my bestest to try and get back into a routine (whether I'd rather be sleeping or not) and see if I can retrain my body to get on board. Don't worry, I will still listen to my body, but sometimes you also need to push through the "don't want to's". HERE WE GO! WE GOT THIS!

My parents are coming into town next week, so I am taking vacation time from work, which means I am working every day until then to make up for it (from December 4th I only have had one day off till they get here). With that said, not only am I pretty fried after work, but we have also been trying to do the cleaning and other house stuff before their arrival. Welp, like I said last week, I'm giving myself extra grace during this busy time of the year and trying not to stress about my lack of runs. And, in all honesty, it'll probably be like this till after the new year when I can get back into a normal rhythm/ routine.

I was checking in on a friend who I hadn't seen on social media recently and she used the phrase "less running, more living" and I really liked it. I wouldn't say I've been skipping runs because I'm out doing amazing things - it's more that I just haven't felt like it or my body says 'no' - but I still like the idea of not putting that pressure on myself (not to mention, I don't have any races on my schedule, so do I really need to "force" myself to get up and outside?!). Don't get me wrong, I definitely miss pounding the pavement, but during this (hopefully) brief period, I'll try and give myself a bit more grace.

Tuesday, November 28th – 4 miles of hills

Friday, December 1st – 3 mile Christmas Light run with the hubby (our new weekly tradition in December)

Okay, okay, so 8 miles of running and sitting on my stationary bike for 3 hours might not be what I used to do, but with the busyness of the holiday season and being "off my game" for a while, I'll take the fact I'm trying to get in some activity every day and make it a routine again. We all gotta start (or restart) somewhere. Here's to getting back on the pony.
