It is that time of year where everyone and everything is getting cray cray busy, it's getting sunnier and hotter and we all just want to be at the beach! With my last marathon only 1 month ago, and a half almost 3 weeks ago, I have been taking an unplanned break. A break from running and blogging. I am sorry if you feel deprived of my witty and exciting stories that I post on here, but there will
I have been enjoying taking walks and the odd run with the buggy, which I had forgotten just how hard that was! Yeesh! Time to stop feeding the baby!! (That was a joke, please don't report me!). I have done a couple of pump classes which pretty much put me out of action for the better part of the week after but have loved it! We've also been dabbling in a bit of social summer soccer (football). Too much fun!
It has been great to let my body have a good, relaxed recovery and now I am looking ahead to some races I want to do in the new year... Exciting!
So what have I been up to, you

We're looking forward to our first Christmas as a family of 3 and to what the new year has in store for us. I am also beginning to plan some races for next year and I am already excited about those!
What have you been up to lately?
Do you ever take breaks from running/sports/exercising?
What are you looking forward to the most over the holidays?
I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys in the holidays!!! Xxx
ReplyDeleteYay! Us too xx
DeleteHe's so big! That smile when he's on your back is melting my heart! So sweet! I'm looking forward to going home and seeing my family and being with them for longer than 2 days :D
ReplyDeleteFamily time is THE BEST! The longer the better (not always though) :) Yes, love my smiley happy wee boy. He's getting big too fast!
DeleteThis is my first time reading your blog! I am a novice runner & am getting excited about training for a 15k and then a half marathon in the Spring! I really look forward to hearing any training experience and suggestions you might have!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!! Such a pleasure to have new readers :) How exciting to be training for your first half! Hopefully you will find some little gems in my blog somewhere to help along the way with your training. All the best!! :)
DeleteSeriously, that kid is ridiculously cute!! I love how happy he looks in the carry pack :) Enjoy your summer and Christmas! Looking forward to all that next year has in store for us. So many good runs lined up!!
ReplyDeleteYou are 100% right! My child IS ridiculously cute! :) We need to plan some run catch ups again for next year! Happy holidays xxx
DeleteGlad to see you taking some time to rest and enjoy this awesome weather!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is a bit of a treat! Love the weather, this time of year is the best! Hope you enjoy it too :)
DeleteHe is SO cute!! And the holidays have to be fun with a kiddo :) I love this time of year!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lora, I agree :)
DeleteSometimes a break can be the best thing since you come back refreshed and ready to run again! Your son is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteYes, hopefully I feel refreshed and not unfit! Haha. Thanks, I think so too :)
DeleteGlad you are having a nice break - it doesn't hurt after a marathon!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard deciding which races to run isn't it - there are so many good ones and you can't do them all. Enjoy the holidays - I'm looking forward to doing some running down south on our trip!
I know, wish I could do them ALL! Haha. Enjoy your holidays and your trip. Running is a great way to see other cities and towns :)
DeleteIt's so sunny and green where you are! :) I was actually just thinking today that I'm looking forward to taking a bit of a break after my marathon in a few weeks. These long runs are taking it out of me for sure, and I'm excited to scale back in 2014.
ReplyDeleteYip, love my country and my town - You are welcome to come visit :) Enjoy your break, it's well deserved and is a nice change to scale back and relax a bit. Marathon training totally takes it out of you, that's for sure. Good luck for your last one this year!! x
Deleteglad you've been able to rest a little!! you inspire me! I really want to sign up for the marathon for next october but am nervous about it! reading your blog makes me want to do it!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks Katie! You are so kind and encouraging! October is a wee while away, you will totally be able to do it :) What a great goal for 2014!
