Lately, things are a little chaotic between work and our new kindergarten school schedule. We are all struggling through adjustments - every last one of us in our household. So, I was very much in need of a long weekend. Four days off was just what I needed to get a wee bit refreshed. I mean, let’s be honest. The work week is still slapping me in the face as we speak but the weekend was great. I received a visit from my best friend and Cora’s favorite auntie, we went pumpkin picking and enjoyed some delish apple cide donuts, spent some time with my grandparents and I struggled through a three mile run.
Okay, so maybe running wasn’t exactly the highlight of my weekend. Actually, running and I are not currently on the best of terms. Maybe a little more of that in my next post… Yes, I am also really hoping to get back to some sort of regular blog posting schedule around here. I mean, I have several race recaps to share (hello Ragnar DC and Gulf Beach Half) and I haven’t even updated you all on my training for my upcoming marathon (or not?!) See… much to share and lots of thoughts/doubts whirling around in this crazy brain of mine.
But, one exciting thing going down this week is the BOSU and Sweat Pink #FitFamily Challenge. Cora is loving her BOSU and getting to workout with mom. Don’t forget that you can join the challenge whether or not you own a BOSU. And, if you set yourself apart on social media, you have the chance to win a BOSU too! Trust me, it is a great addition to your at home workout equipment.
As you can see, yesterday, was filled with a ton of great photos from challenge participants and #fitfamily bloggers! Go search the #FitFamily, #BOSUStrong and #SweatPink hashtags for some inspiration.
The perfect spot to stretch after a few miles. Not going to lie, running is sucking for me right now. I’m just not where I want to be and it’s disappointing. I hoped the beautiful weather would turn my attitude around but it didn’t. Here’s to hoping the next run is better! @bosu_fitness @fitapproach #ad #moveitmonday #sweatpink #BOSUstrong #runchat #teamnuun A photo posted by Lisa || Lisa Runs for Cupcakes (@lisarunsforcupcakes) on

My recent post Fueling the Long Run with Meals on the Run
A rarity lately! I have so many posts in draft… it's depressing! I'm trying to carve out a little time each night before bed and a little time in the morning to cram in some writing. I hope the new routine will have me back in the loop in no time. As for the readership, well…. I hope they eventually come back too! But, it's life - and I know you can appreciate that! 🙂
Love it! So much fun participating in the #FitFamily challenge.
