Holy cow, we’re wrapping up the month of April this
week! How can that be? I know it's a few days early to be wrapping up the month but that's the topic on TOTR this week so I will oblige!
Because I had this cough and chest cold hang
around longer than I wanted, there wasn’t a whole lot of running going on, but
that’s okay because this was one of the best April’s. Here’s why…
1 - The weather
has be absolutely gorgeous and everything is green again! We haven’t had many
rainy days like most places. If it rained it was usually at night or in the
middle of the day while I’m at work anyway.

2 - Going to
Hershey! As you may recall I ran the 10K and then had the best time at the
Hershey Spa. Visiting the Spa may have been the Highlight of my month! Is it any coincidence that the Hershey 10K was the weekend before Easter? I still have so much chocolate leftover!
3 - Miles with
my sister. I don’t always run with my sister because she is faster than me, but
since I needed to ease back into my running after being sick, she agreed to
walk the trail with me which I appreciated.
4 - EASTER! I
absolutely LOVED Easter this year. We usually travel for Easter but this year
we went to my Parent’s house for dinner (and a doggie egg hunt of course) and I
couldn’t have been happier. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and it was a
great day to stay in the area. We also visited my family at my Pap’s house and
made an adult egg hunt for our adult cousins. It was actually a lot of fun
because Lacey and I were the only ones who knew where the eggs where!
5 - I’ve been
using my fitness tracker again and on Monday through Friday I’m able to get in
10,000 steps. For some reason I struggle with it on the weekends. I'm I the only one?
What was the highlight of your month? Are there certain days you struggle with getting all your steps in? -M
We are linking up with the lovely ladies from TOTR.
How does one have leftover chocolate??? LOL I eat all the chocolate if we have it in the house.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that is a very good question! I've been "trying" to be good about it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great month! I struggle with steps unless I am running or going for an intentional walk. Sometimes on the weekend I can get alot of steps in if I meal prep and clean the house. But otherwise my steps are really low.
ReplyDeleteMe too. If I didn't purposely walk or run I wouldn't get them in.
DeleteGreat month! I agree, the best part of April is seeing how beautiful and green everything is.
ReplyDeleteIdk, you had that amazing "as seen on the run" find! That had to be a highlight (or lowlight) for you!
ReplyDeleteYes, there is that!
DeleteI do a lot of cleaning on the weekends, so I could get more steps in, but I don't have a tracker. Now that I'm in a bigger place, it's takes longer to clean, and throw stairs in. I do try to veg a little bit though, and it's important to relax when I can.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like in all my spare moments I am trying to walk now instead of relax!
DeleteSounds like a fun month! I love that you and your sister were able to spend that time together on the trails. That's funny about the fitness tracker. I usually have an easier time getting my steps in on the weekend since I'm at my desk most of the time at work. I really have to remember to get up and walk every hour. But the worst is when I'm working from home. I rarely get 10,000 steps on those days.
ReplyDeleteYes, we had a great time on the trail swapping stories.
DeleteI never tire of cute Baylee pictures. One spoiled baby... so deserved. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI am LIVING for this weather. And Bailey as the Bunny... I can't even. She is such a trooper :D
ReplyDeleteShe likes to dress up!
DeleteIt truly sounds like an awesome month! Love Baylee with the Easter basket! So precious!!
ReplyDeleteShe loved it too! Thanks.
DeleteI struggle with everything on the weekends except getting runs in if they are scheduled. I don't know how it is so hard.
ReplyDeleteIf I were training for something i'd do a long run on the weekends but now I've just been putzing around the house.
DeleteIt's hard to get my steps in if I don't run. I have a job where I just sit at my desk all day.
ReplyDeleteI love those days where the sun was out. Not today :(
I wanna see video footage of Baylee on her egg hunt!
ReplyDeleteHaha no video but the dogs were able to sniff out the treats that were inside the eggs.
DeleteYou packed a lot of fun stuff into April!
ReplyDeleteIt's going by so quick!
