My last week of training for the Shamrock Run Portland Half Marathon went well. I even got in a few extra short runs with my 5 yr old. Here’s what I did:
- Monday – Had a great workout with the hubby and did Insanity Max:30 Tabata Power.
- Tuesday – Ran 3 early miles.
- Wednesday – Ran 5 miles.
- Thursday – My 5 yr old wanted to go run so we ended up running a mile.
- Friday – My 5 yr old wanted to run again so we ran a mile before preschool. After I dropped him off, I ran 3 more miles.
- Saturday – Rest Day.
- Sunday was the big day, my first half marathon of the year. I ran the Shamrock Run Portland Half Marathon. Recap coming soon.
Here’s my post race meal from Red Robin:Â 
The Corner Bakery Cafe just opened up near us and so we decided to give it a try for dinner. I liked the Chicken Pomodori panini sandwich. 
Nothing too exciting went on besides the race. But I’m so happy my 5 yr old has started running again. We had run before maybe twice last year and then stopped. But out of the blue he wanted to run. So I think it’s cool! Hope it lasts.
I like how they’re still active by going to martial arts. I took some pics on Wednesday:
My little guy jumping high. Â 
My 7 yr old sparring.
They also had fun dancing this weekend. They asked me to video them lol.
How’d your week go? Any races coming up?

That’s so cute and awesome that your five year old requests to go for a run with you! Even if he decides later on that running isn’t his thing and there are other activities he prefers, you’re instilling an active lifestyle in him early. All of that food looks delicious! I am about an hour and a half late for lunch, haha.

Congrats on that awesome finish time for your race! Mine was much slower–that Florida heat and humidity did me in.
