Phone Dump from the Weekend and a VLOG

If you want to know what your priorities are, look at the pictures you have on your phone.

Clearly, I like running. And, my pets. A lot.

I also am a big fan of my husband, my children and wine, but somehow pictures of them are scarce. Hmmm.

We started off our weekend with an early morning trail run. There was snow. And there was me deviating off of the trail to heed nature's call. I love being married to someone who just keeps watch for me and doesn't judge.Or, maybe he does inside his head, but he doesn't say it out loud. I still don't get why he always wants to run behind me. The farts are vicious.




Seriously. This is everything.



I just wish I understood why he likes to put his face in her ass so much.



Then there was some laying around with the brown eyed girl.



My highlight from Saturday night. Who needs to go leave the house when you can torment your pets?



Next, was another trail 8 mile run on Sunday morning. Selfies are not my style or my forte.



For awhile on Sunday I just watched these two mess around because they don't seem to be able to keep their paws off of each other. Get a room.


Oh, and one other weekend thing. I got my newest subscription box from PopSugar and am doing the unveiling here.  This is hands down the most exciting video you will see probably in your entire lifetime.




Since you asked about running (wait, did you ask?), right now I'm not really in routine training. Going to start marathon training (for PARIS) at the beginning of the year. Now I'm just keeping it at about 30 miles per week. Anyone have a great training plan they recommend that will get me a 30 minute PR?


Thanksgiving plans? Trail run in the morning, watching the parade with cinnamon rolls then going to my mom and dad's for dinner. Sam is not coming home :(. This will be our first Thanksgiving without him. Boo.

Last marathon training plan you used? I've done Run Less, Run Faster and other than that I've usually come up with my own. Once I did one that came from Andrew Kastor and that was great too.

SUAR

POPSUGAR sent me this Must Have Box to try...#sponsored

  1. The cat in the costume is the best! Also, my husband and I are THE WORST at selfies. It's kind of hilarious (and sad). This Thursday we're running the Turkey Trot in Wash Park then eating our way through the day, just the two of us. We'll also probably fight over the TV - parade or football?!

  3. Love your blogs. Why? Because I laugh out loud several times while reading it. Maybe I'll just steal it and put it in as my blog. Just Kiiiiiddding! Too bad we are 8 hrs apart, I'm sure we'd have a good time on a run. Well, when I get my cast off, that is.

    1. I did like it, especially if you only want to run 3x per week (at the time I was pretty injury prone and thought this might work better for me). It is very sensible and every workout has a purpose. It got me my BQ!

  5. Beth, you mentioned that you love your watch - what are you using? I am looking for a new one and think I might settle on the garmin 235 but have also been looking at the garmin vivoactive.

    1. It's the TomTom Spark (multisport) with heart rate monitor and blue tooth headphones. You can actually load 500 songs directly onto the watch. It is awesome. I will be doing a review of it soon, so stay tuned.

  6. I just followed Hanson's (not as diligently as I could have- but ran a 29 minute or for the marathon (although my last marathon was 8 years ago, so take it as you'd like ) but it's the direct opposite of rlrf, so might not be your thing !

  7. I've used Hal Higdon's online training plans for years. They work well for me.

    Always add in an extra week just in case you can't run a week.

  8. I'm stuck on that pic of you in short shorts running in the snow!

    My last marathon training plan was not anything but a plan to get me to the start line, since I was battling PF. It was a patchwork plan of pool running and cycling, with some running thrown in at the end. Do as I say, not as I do...

  11. This is my first Thanksgiving without my kids, so I'm spending it with friends and alcohol. Should be a good time.

  12. I also used Hanson's plan although modified it and did not run 6 days a week. The key, for me, was the track workouts on Tuesdays and the increasingly longer tempo runs on Thursdays and the long runs didn't go longer than 16-18 miles (theoretically you're running on tired legs). I ran my second marathon 35 minutes faster than the first (the first had been 18 years prior at age 27) and got my BQ time, so I'll give some credit to the training plan. Maturity probably helped as well :)

  13. I just read 80/20 by Matt Fitzgerald. I am going to try it for Boston 2017. I trained with a coach for the last 4 years and he quit coaching in June.

  16. Excited my life is back My husband and I have been together for almost 11 years in October. The way we met wasn’t the best way since we both had relationships. We ended our relationships to be together (or so I thought we BOTH did). As soon as I ended up pregnant with our first baby, I find out he was cheating with his EX! My world went upside down. It was very hard for me since I was pregnant and hurt. Over the years I just kept forgiving him over and over again of not only multiple affairs, but of his accusations of me being unfaithful and disrespecting me. We now have 3 kids and I just completely felt neglected and felt low of myself. I had my own affair… It has not been easy for BOTH of us to overcome. Somehow over the last few weeks we have been working together to move on. We are now moving out of state. I love my husband and I am positive he loves me. I am going to try and show him this approach. Somehow we were already doing it! We have a better communication than we’ve had in years! We are learning how to speak calmly out feelings and concerns. It hasn’t been peachy, but I can see that we both are starting to respect eachother. We care for each other’s feelings. We have US a main priority. We aren’t taking counseling, but somehow we see that little by little we seem more comfortable with eachother. Sometimes we may notice how good it is going and may step back, but helping eachother out by holding and saying it’s ok to be happy again. I love my family. and my husband and i need to keep my marriage save with him from other women so i have to seek for a love spell to keep our marriage stronger so i contacted Dr happy who help me to keep my marriage save and secure from other women am very happy today coz my husband love me more and more like ever before, we are living as one big family again bless Dr happy for what he did to me and my husband if you need help contact him too he is real and 100% guarantee ok so email him at : happylovespell2@gmail.com call +2348133873774 about his service and web site: http://happyspelltemple.webs.com/

  17. Hi everyone, I'm so excited.
    My ex-boyfriend is back after a breakup,I’m extremely happy that will are living together again.
    My name is Mary Wilkie from England.
    My boyfriend of a 4yr just broke up with me and am 30 weeks pregnant.I have cried my self to sleep most of the nights and don’t seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again.Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day’s classes ,my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time.Generally he is a very nice guy ,he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along.He is right we’ve been arguing during the pregnancy a lot .After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change.I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with.I’m still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn’t have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe.He texts me now and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy,he is supportive with it but it’s not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy.i was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my bf came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my bf are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity. If you have any problem contact Dr.Unity now and i guarantee you that he will help you.Email him at: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com ,you can also call him or add him on Whats-app: +2348071622464 ,His website: http://unityspelltemple.yolasite.com .
