Hi and welcome to my weekly check in
Figured I share some of the highlights of this past week and weekend.
Monday and Tuesday must have been fairly uneventful because I have no photos from the day :). Wednesday felt like a Spring day with temps reaching 63 so of course I took Duncan to the park.
I went on another night hike as itās now become my routine Wednesday night. We covered about 4 1/2 miles in about an hour and a half. But lots of elevation!
Thursday we had a snow storm. I slept over Mr. SOTSSā the night before so we could ride out the storm together which really means take the dogs for some snow fun.
Friday I weighed in and saw that Iāve now lost 6 pounds since the new year! That was so exciting. Iām back to pre-holidays weight. HA! And then at night was my friend Lisaās 40th birthday bash. Mr. SOTSS and I hardly have the opportunity to spruce up so I made him take a āquickā photo at the house with my phone cameraās self-timer. It took quite a while to finally work and the outtakes are hysterical.
I pulled out this vintage purse that was my grandmaās. Itās from the 30s or 40s and I just love it. Itās velvet and I can just envision my grandma wearing it. The party was awesome and in addition to dancing a lot I had some delicious sweets too.
We got home well after midnight and by the time I finally fell asleep it was probably 2am.
Saturday morning I was out the door by 9:15 to head to the Valentineās trail 5k I had signed up for. This was the 2nd in the triple crown series so after completing the race I got the second interlocking medal!
One more in April and Iāll have the final interlocking medal. About 80 percent of the course was snow and ice covered and the other 20 percent was on the roads that had been salted so I knew I was going to be slow.
I ended up running with a lovely woman I met who just started running this past September with a couch-to-5k program. She was happy to have someone to run with and I enjoyed listening to her story of how she got started running and and sheās lost close to 30 pounds already with the combination of running and Weight Watchers. We werenāt last but we were definitely in the back of the pack
I was just happy to finish upright! My hamstrings were a bit irritated during the run but I seemed to recover well. Good thing because Iāll be running a 10k trail run next weekend.
Today was a long walk in the pouring rain with the dogs, errands and then me getting a slight fever and feeling crappy. So Iām on the sofa now trying to rest up so I can make it through the Grammyās.
These two clowns appear on my camera roll just a little too much.
And one more cute dog pic to wrap this post upā¦.
Do you dance at parties or are you a wallflower? Iām usually a wallflower but I couldnāt resist Bon Joviās āLiving on a Prayerā.
Do you run any trail races?
I used to be a wallflower but Iām slowly becoming a dancer and having so much fun doing it!
I love the outtake photos and you two look like youāre having a blast! Also, the pups pics melt my heart! Pups are the best!
They sure are! Keep dancing!
We got a few snowstorms over the weekend too ā several feet worth of accumulation! Also, congrats on the weight loss!
Thanks. OOOH several feet! Iām grateful we only got 8 inches. I wasnāt prepared for more than that.
