Born To Run Junebugs 12/8/14

This is a weekly thread for runners who were due June 2014, that is posted on Mondays . All who run--or who want to start running--are welcome, regardless of mileage, pace, ability, size, shape, or terrestrial status. We had this thread during pregnancy, now it's time to lose that baby weight. 

How were your runs and workouts this week? 

What are your plans for health/fitness this week?

GTKY: Favorite hot beverage to enjoy in the winter time?

How were your runs and workouts this week? 

Fewer than I hoped. Didn't get to 5 miles at once due to time constraints, but we did do 1 4 miler.  Otherwise I ran 9 miles total.  Crazy to think I ran more miles per week into my 3rd trimester!!  We also lifted once.

What are your plans for health/fitness this week?

Wanting to get to 5 or 6 miles at once.  Also make sure to lift at least 2 times.  I need to make a 15k training plan and stick to it.  

GTKY:  My favorite is regular coffee with flavored cream.  I am obsessed with the frosted sugar cookie creamer from International Delights right now. Its so good.  Coffee has become a severe addiction these past couple months, not sure its good for my breast milk tho.

I did NOTHING this week. Nothing. Granted, I've been sick all week too but ugh! I feel like such a slug.

Hopefully this cold or whatever I'm fighting will pass and I can get back on the wagon soon. I guess the one good thing is I've been living off soup because I'm too sick to eat like crap and can't smell or taste anything anyways. Sigh.

GTKY: I love coffee! I rarely treat myself to anything beyond my normal but a caramel macchiato is my special treat around the holidays.

@babygabe614‌ sorry you're sick!!! I usually chug tea with a cough drop melted into it. It helps open things up a bit

hey runners!  i took a break from j14 as have been super caught up in baby land and going back to work.  i missed my favorite weekly thread though

how are you all doing?  good to see you two getting after it and running/working out!  i have been pretty active running and lifting since i was cleared by my doc at week 7 PP.  

How were your runs and workouts this week? 

workouts were great.  i went to my bootcamp 4 days which had a lot of running.  also squeezed in a sprint track workout

What are your plans for health/fitness this week?

i just want to keep consistent!  i hope to get in 4-5 workouts and i would like to try to fit in yoga again. i was so good with yoga all during my pregnancy and it would be nice to find the time again.

GTKY: Favorite hot beverage to enjoy in the winter time?

i agree with you two regarding coffee!  its my favorite drink when its cold and my favorite drink every morning

Same here @sjdihle‌ ! I have been way too caught up with going back to work and being a new mommy. Everything is going great . How are you?? I'm sure you ladies have covered this, but have you all started jogging with baby?

babygabe614

@lola4411 Many of us have, but I personally am on a hiatus for right now because it's so darn cold (and maybe I'm a little unmotivated as well). I will probably pick it back up in the spring. My running club has nominated me to start running a weekly stroller meetup for the mamas so that will be nice!

This week was bad for me as well! We were on holidays last minute in Florida and we definitely enjoyed ourselves maybe a bit more than we should have, although we did a lot of walking! Back at it starting tomorrow.

GTKY- another one here for coffee with flavoured International Delight although I have never seen the frosted sugar cookie one that sounds awesome mmmm....Currently drinking a peppermint mocha from Starbucks while waiting for our flight home which isn't half bad!

Hey ladies!

How were your runs and workouts this week? 

Last week went well for me as I got in all my intended workouts!  Running is really starting to feel good although I'm still a TON slower than ever.  Oh well!  This week hasn't started out too well.  Tonight I chose wine over my workout.  Oops.

What are your plans for health/fitness this week?

My plans were to get in all my workouts.  Oops again.

Starbucks Caramel Creme Brulee - OMG

Welcome back @lola4411!  I was running with the stroller but now I think it's just too cold and gross out!  She will have to settle with our walks around the mall for the winter!  I do enjoy my alone time though when I'm out running!

texasmama2014

We (me and little bear) have been great! We've done some jogging with the stroller, but prefer without. She loves the stroller tho! How about you? Any updates on little guy/your life?
