I am relaxing after spending a wonderful mother's day with my family. Got in some golf with my husband and Sophie, a bike ride with my mom, and dinner with my mom, brother, and in-laws. Now Sophie is in bed and I am ready to be lazy! Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow running moms - hope you all had a wonderful day!
I wrapped up an okay training week - my last week before taper.
Monday: 3 miles easy (am), 3 miles track (pm)
Tuesday: 3.6 miles easy (am), 1 hr kettlebells (pm)
Wednesday: 1000 m. swim (am), (missed tempo run because of hurt toe!)
Thursday: 3 miles easy (am)
Friday: 1100 m. swim (am), 40 min. kettlebells (am)
Saturday: 17 miles (was supposed to be 20. I went to a very dark, angry place during this run . . . I think I vowed to give up running and devote my life to sitting on the couch eating chocolate.)
Sunday: 10 mile bike, 10 min. yoga
Anyhow . . . this happens to be my 200th post. To thank you all for putting up with me for so long, I've decided to have little giveaway. Leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Wednesday and I'll draw a winner Thursday. The winner will get some of my favorite things, plus who knows? I'll probably try to throw in things the winner may enjoy. :)

Congrats on 200 posts!! I love a little surprise giveaway. ;)
Must feel good to start taper. I'm glad your toe allowed you to run, even if it was a tough one.
Happy Mother's Day!
Congratulations on 200 posts!!! I have loved following you on your running adventures...don't you dare stop running! I guess the final weeks of marathon training can play tricks on your mind.
Sounds like an awesome weekend...just the kind I like. Happy Mothers' Day!!!
good work on powering through the 17 miles! i have been having many of those dark experiences with running lately myself. i am 6 days and 63.2 miles away from my own sweet taper...
also, congrats on the 200th post! can't wait to keep on reading :)
Congrats on 200!! Hey, if you quit running and sit on the couch eating chocolate, who will I bloggy stalk?
Yay for 200 posts, and cheers to many more! ooooh, I've been to that angry, dark place many times before ;) Sounds like a great Mother's Day!
Hi Heather,
You make me laugh:) Vowing to sit on the couch eating chocolate...yea, that will never happen:)
Nice job with your runs and way to hang tough for the difficult ones!
Woo hoo for the 200 posts! That is awesome:) I am so glad that I found your blog Heather! I hope that you had a great Mother's Day!
Congrats on your 200th post!!!
I think we all have runs where we question why we are not home laying on the couch instead. Hope your next one is better!
I'm a big fan of sitting on the couch eating chocolate ;)
Nice job on the swim, congrats on the 200th post, and glad you got in the 17 with your toe...hope it gets better this week.

Happy 200!
I think all of us contemplate a life of chocolate eating on the couch... heck I've managed to incorporate much of that lifestyle into my day already!!!
I hope the funk doesn't return and congrats on 200! Can't wait until your race!
I also want to give up and eat chocolate on the couch...but can't afford an all-new-sized wardrobe. ;) Congrats on 200!
Congrats on 200th post! They do add up in a hurry. I got my 500th coming up soon. May end up being my post RKC trip post!
Next time, take chocolate with you on the run.
Beats sitting on the couch eating it!
Sounds like you had a really nice Mother's Day!
Congrats on 200!!!!!!
Wait, you had a bad run on Saturday and you didn't share? I'm sorry! I have so been there and better Saturday than in the marathon! You had a great week, hope you can enjoy the hard earned taper this week!
Oh, and golf! That is something my hubbs and I vowed to start back up this spring! LOL! Thanks for reminding us!
