Happy Monday, friends!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I enjoyed an 8 mile run (longest run post baby to date!) and lots of Ironman Kona watching on Saturday followed by a relaxing rest day on Sunday.
I was SO tempted to run more than 8 miles. The perfect running weather, my feeling stronger with each run, and the excitement of fall marathon season all make me itch to run long…but I know that slowly building my mileage up is the smartest thing for me and my body right now. My motto these days is: Rome wasn’t built in a day.

The highlight of my weekend was seeing my mom
I love you mom!
The highlight of my weekend was finding out that I don’t have any new lesions in my brain or spinal cord (I have MS). I celebrated by running my weekly long run (7 miles) a day early. I believe that I control my body and my health. And I make my own path and destiny. This weekend helped me remember it.
I also followed you on Twitter/Instagram and posted the tweet
I love being given opportunities like this. It’s so hard to set aside time to run and take care of myself, but it’s the only thing I look forward to in my day. I really hope I get the chance to try out some new shoes (which I desperately need), and get myself motivated to push for higher goals.
And I just realized this contest ended yesterday. Haha. Obviously I have no concept of dates anymore.
My weekend highlight was dressing up both my 2.5 year old daughter and myself as “running witches” i.e. black running skirts and homemade purple tuelle skirts with striped stockings, witch hats and sneakers.
Followed by pumpkin picking and running through fields of fall foliage together.

The highlight of my weekend was our community’s Fall Festival. My husband and I dressed up as 1920′s gangsters and volunteered at the concession stand. It was a blast serving food with him. I love that even though we were doing something that could’ve been boring, we made each other laugh the whole time!
Highlight of my weekend was a perfect fall run followed by a Notre Dame victory! 7-0 baby!!
The highlight of my weekend was running my first half marathon – post-baby! It was a success in that I finished…but I was a little disappointed with my time. It was a tough, hilly course and I missed a few training runs. Overall, I was happy to be out there and SO proud to have my son and husband watching! I am a new reader of your blog and am so happy to have found it! Great job on your 10K this weekend!!

The highlight of my weekend was seeing my son grab a racing pamphlet for a Turkey Dash and say “Mommy I want to run with you.” I forgot how it is to run with him. It is like playing.
The highlight of my weekend was a trail run with some friends to admire the gorgeous fall foliage!
The highlight of my weekend was a new 10K PR of 48:27 on the hilliest course I’ve ever run! (Crossing my fingers that I win the Mizunos – I’ve been wanting to try a pair for a while!)
The highlight of my weekend;
Saturday I woke up feeling crappy, like a cold was creeping up to me and totally lonely and weak (newlywed and my husband has been away working overseas since 1 1/2 month now).. I finally, late afternoon, got enough energy gathered to get out on a run even though I just did not feel good..
Once I was starting to run I felt the energy coming back and I could feel my smile coming back to me. The rainy run left me feeling refreshed and like myself again – the bright, happy person whom is full of energy and life.
Running, always a highlight in my life!

I am recovering from a hysterectomy and just cleared to walking for exercise. The highlight of my weekend was walking 1/2 mile to get to Mile 7/8 of the Baltimore Running Festival in order to cheer on my running buddies. Next year, we will run it together!

The highlight of my weekend was spending quality time with my sister, who was visiting NYC from Seattle. Replaced my weekend workouts with walks all around the city catching up. It was the best! (But my plantar fascia didn’t love all that walking, and would be really excited for some Mizuno cushioning next time!
)
Thanks for offering the giveaway

This weekend I did my longest run ever (and also my longest marathon training run). I ended the run feeling amazing – especially when I realized that I ran .25 miles longer than I needed to without even noticing! An ice bath and a date with The Stick, and I was barely sore the next day when I went to dinner to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. All in all, it was a pretty awesome weekend!

My highlight was the sunrise trail run I ran on Saturday. Not a cloud in the sky… crisp, clean, trails and sun.. beauty
I don’t need the shoes (I’m developing a trail running shoe fetish already), but I wanted to say:
Congratulations on your one year anniversary! I blog once a week and it’s difficult, so I have a lot of respect for people who do it every day. Keep it up!

The highlight of my weekend was running a 10k race with my son in the jogger. During the race, we passed a playground, and my son said “Momma…….SWINGS!!!!”. We made a quick pit-stop at the swings and then ran three more rocky miles on some major trails! it may not have been my fastest 10k, but by far one of the most fun races I have ever done. The look on my sons face when he saw those swings was PRICELESS. It truly is the little things in life…….
My favorite part of my weekend was a planned 2 mile run; I was 6 days post my very FIRST MARATHON, the Chicago Marathon that I ran with my BFF @KSGrube! so i planned a short 2 mile run to see how I felt, miraculously my legs felt fresh and my body felt good along with my mind; so when I got to mile 2, I went ahead and ran 3 miles for 30 minutes! I felt invigorated and felt as though I did everything right Pre, and post marathon… I’m already looking to sign up for my next marathon already, and I have a half marathon coming up November 3rd with @KSGrube. woo hoo!
I run in Brooks shoes, have LOTS but @KSGrube runs in Mizuno’s and LOVES them, she is also a former Brooks lover too.
