I’m playing Trivia at a bar by myself and my team name is Jen Solo.

I’m also drinking a Margarita. (#day3)

Thanks Mike!!

Right?? I love them soooo much!

So, I won second place in the trivia last night. Then I made friends with the couple who got first place and GUESS WHAT?! SHE RUNS DISNEY RACES. So we basically bonded over that. She said she was running the Rock N Roll Vegas Half and I said I would run it with her and then she asked the dreaded question: "What's your pace?" I never told her because I don't even know if I have a pace. "Not faster than 9:45" Haha. She told me that she walked a lot of the RNR Vegas Half last year, but then I looked her up on Athlinks and saw that she can run a half under 2 hours if she wants to. #SuperStalkerStatus Will we become running friends? I guess we will have to wait and see. I added her on Instagram because we didn't exchange numbers or anything. But yeah, that was my excitement for the night.

 

[ZellyB]

She sounds like a great running friend since you too will be running a half in under 2 hours when you want to!!

Just catching up. But congrats on your new PR and AG finish!

Dopey Training Starts NOW!

Here goes nothing...
​

I started my new @DopeyBadger plan today for DOPEY!!!!
It's only 12 weeks long counting race week, but I guess coming off a HM Plan and getting a solid PR means I am in some sort of good fitness level, I suppose. New plan also means new paces, new workouts, and new goals. Like, you know, running my first MARATHON!

Training Schedule for the week:
Monday - 3 mi @ EA 11:21
Tuesday - 3 mi @ EB 10:36 + Strides
Wednesday - 4 mi @ EA 11:21
Thursday - OFF
Friday - 5 mi @ EB 10:36 + Strides
Saturday - 5 mi @ LR 10:19
Sunday - OFF

I had Coach move my schedule around this time so I would have Sundays off. I think this will be better for me. I have a week in December where the husband will be out of town so I am trying to figure out when to run in between solo parenting but I think I have it sorted for now. I'm trying really hard to not let life get the best of me so I can stick to this plan and be super prepared for DOPEY! It's hard but nothing worth doing is easy, right?....

 

[ZellyB]

Don't you love that new training plan smell?

Woohoo!!

 

[Sleepless Knight]

I think that Dopey gif describes about how I'm feeling right now. I got myself into something and there's only one way out of it now. Right now I alternate between yea marathon and what was I thinking.

 

[Bree]

Woohoo!!! Look at those blazing fast paces too!!!!

I LOVE having Sunday off. I like not having to get up early and it's awesome being able to devote 100% of that day to the family even if we just do absolutely nothing.

Woohoo!!

Nothing motivates me more than a new plan!

SAME. I fluctuate as well between OMG to sometimes even doubt, like "I'm not actually going to run 48.6 miles...." But in the end, that gif is super how I feel. Haha.

I am really looking forward to having a day to sleep in. Even if it means REALLY early mornings on some Fridays. Totally worth it.

I am this weird creature of habit and tradition kind of person. Mostly when it comes to photos of Bay. So 6 years ago I took a picture of Bay on October 23rd wearing a black and white striped shirt. The next year I recreated it. Fast forward to today, October 23rd, 2018, you betcha I took a picture of her wearing a black and white striped shirt. But ummmm, look at that progression!!!

​

 

[DopeyBadger]

What a face! Such great pictures.

 

[Sleepless Knight]

I always get a kick out of happy "scowling" pictures of kids.

 

[Bree]

OMG she’s so precious!

 

[KSellers88]

Bay is so stinkin' cute! and hooray for a new plan!

 

[run.minnie.miles]

Ahh!! This is such a neat idea! And Bay is the sweetest!

 

[jennamfeo]

Ahh!! This is such a neat idea! And Bay is the sweetest!

If I were to show you the outtakes from yesterday's shoot MAN she was NOT having it. Hahaha. Eventually Brad had to come over and say he was going to make the dog fart on her to get her to laugh.
