I have a big victory to share: I ran 3 miles in under 30 minutes! I have been trying to do this for so long, and have been so close so many times, and I finally did it, and well under! I actually cried when I got back in my car, it’s unbelievable to me that a little over a year ago I couldn’t even run for three consecutive minutes. It’s such an unbelievable feeling to prove to myself over and over again that I can do these things that I never thought I would do. I did Samuela’s 30 minute 80s run and I’ll stretch when I get home. Food has been excellent today, and we are doing chicken and veggie kabobs on the grill for dinner. The weather is gorgeous, so we will spend the rest of the afternoon outside. [\spoiler]

I just signed up for the summer 2021 Madeline Moves Tighter Together that starts May 10. I tried her January one with pretty basic home workout equipment and really enjoyed myself. Anyone interested in joining me? I'm happy to chat specifics too. It's $50 and includes a macro assessment, but you don't need to do the food part to feel like you got your money's worth. madelinemoves.com/blog//tighter-together-30-day-challenge

calendula You look great! 🎉 pearbear Congratulations! Moving is scary/exciting. budders That’s great! As someone who couldn’t run at all 6 months ago, I find you very inspiring. 20 min 90’s rock ride with Hannah 5 min cool down with Tunde 5 min post-ride stretch with Tunde 10 min core with Ben I’m 4 stretches away from #100. Too bad those aren’t ever live. 😂 My next closest is running at 71 so I have a ways to go there.

Hi.
I'm over this pandemic bullshit and all the ways it's turned my regular life upside down. I'm tired of being inconvenienced and solo parenting and dealing with hybrid teaching. I'm tired.
20 minute 2000's ride with CDE 30 minute power yoga with Kristin
I'm tired of dealing with my kids alone every night and being outnumbered and dealing with the whining and the selfishness and the never ending stream of demands. I got pretty mad at the girls at one point this evening. And I just went to put my air fryer away above the fridge and broke everything. The stool I stepped on to reach over the fridge busted out from under me and I pulled the cabinet right off the hinge. So my already busted air fryer is now in the trash because it only half works anyways, and I fixed the hinged and angrily threw the stool pieces into the garage. I'm trying really hard not to lose right now. I feel like a giant fatass and a shitty parent. I ate leftover alfredo noodles right out of the pot while standing in the middle of the kitchen and now I'm eating a cookie my kid didn't want. I'm going to try to not cry tonight, but that probably won't happen depending on how much of a shit show bedtime is.

cnf I say this with kindness. Have you guys considered getting some help of some kind? A babysitter every so often? Your kids are very young and frankly, not selfish. You’re at the end of your rope and you need a break. See if you can get someone in a few hours a week for some help to make evenings easier. It could make a world of difference.

You’re at the end of your rope and you need a break. See if you can get someone in a few hours a week for some help to make evenings easier. It could make a world of difference. My husband takes his paternity leave in a few weeks, then I'll be on summer break by the time he goes back, so things will get exponentially easier mid May. I plan to get a babysitter once a week this summer after he goes back to work so I can do my long run for marathon training and take a hot, unbothered shower afterwards, without worrying about them. When we moved almost two years ago now we moved away from our family and friends. MIL does make the four hour round trip drive every Friday to help out, but she leaves shortly after I get home since she does have two hour drive home. We haven't found a babysitter out here yet. We moved and both immediately started work, then the pandemic started, so we haven't needed one or felt comfortable having one yet. And in the fall the baby and DD2 will both go back to daycare/Pre-K, and H will go back to working 9-5. We just need to survive like 3.5 more weeks right now.

cnf I hate hate hate those evenings that just feel like one thing after another and the kids just won't quit. My kids have seen me literally sitting on the kitchen floor in tears when things like that happen. You're not alone. I am glad to hear that there is relief coming.

I feel like a slug today. I haven't really eaten much but my breakfast/lunch was a giant bowl of leftover tuna noodle casserole and it just feels like a rock sitting in my stomach. I get to take the dumb dog on a trail run this evening and I am hoping that will help.
B: Dried mango L: Way too much tuna noodle casserole D: Probably a smoothie after my run with lots of greens and peanut butter

My legs are feeling yesterday’s lower body stuff for sure. I got my workout in this morning and then just laid in bed watching TV for hours. Kids were at school, husband at work, the house is clean and there was nothing and no one that needed me. IT WAS GLORIOUS. 15 min WHM pop core w/ Olivia 30 mins arms & intervals ride w/ Jess King 30 min upper body boot camp w/ Cody 10 min full body stretch w/ Becs Congrats on the job pearbear!! budders, that’s AWESOME! Big hugs, cnf. I know things are so tough right now — be kind to yourself, have the biggest cry fest if you need to and start over tomorrow. You got this!

-20min country ride with Ally Love -10min arms & light weights with Ally -10min full body stretch with Selena

cnf lots of hugs, I've been in that place before and it's so soul sucking, but do your best to be kind to yourself. I'm glad there is an end in sight to your current situation, and I hope you're able to find some quiet peaceful time for yourself tonight.
