Happy Mother’s Day!
I am SO missing my mom today. I haven’t seen her since Christmas…way too long! Luckily I have a long visit planned next month. Counting down the days!
I had fun reaching out to all of my mommy friends today and wishing them a happy Mother’s Day…many are celebrating their first Mother’s Day (either expecting or with new babies!).
I asked Sullie and Zoey what they got me for Mother’s Day but so far it looks like only some kisses. 🙂
And now for the weekly workout recap…
Monday
Hot yoga
Tuesday
Strength + Tabata
10 x 5
Deadlifts (75#)
Push Ups
Tabata Intervals (20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest…8 rounds alternating exercises each round)
Power Cleans (75#)/Burpees
Push Press (55#)/Sit Ups
Kettlebell Swings (35#)/Kettlebell Goblet Squats
Gliding Disk Mountain Climbers/Jump Lunges (this round nearly killed me)
Wednesday
Hot yoga
Thursday
3 mile run
Friday
Hot yoga + CrossFit
This was a great WOD! I used the RX weight for the thrusters so it took me a while to get through those reps. I had to break them into sets. This resulted in a short time to finish the second 21-15-9 and the 20 minute time cap REALLY pushed me. I was sprinting to finish the row and burpees and wrapped it all up in about 19:30!
Saturday
6 mile hike + 1,000+ stairs + planks on a log
I spent the weekend at Amicolola Falls State Park in Georgia. More on that soon! Our Saturday extravaganza included tackling over 1,000 stairs to view a waterfall, hiking and planking on logs during the hike.
Sunday
I’m going to go for an evening run shortly. Probably just a quick 3-4 miles.
How did you celebrate Mother’s Day?
Favorite workout last week?

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

Advent calendars have become such a fun tradition for us during the holiday season. Finn really looks forward to his daily surprise and I love the huge array of calendars to choose from – for kids and adults! I let Finn pick out his advent calendar this year and I think I might treat myself [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
