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:

Friday
  • 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: 

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.  My 7 yr old sparring.

They also had fun dancing this weekend. They asked me to video them lol.

  2. 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.

    I have a 5K coming up on the 26th that I’m pretty excited about. I’m trying to PR & go sub25 which is a big goal of mine & I think I can do it.

  7. I love running with my kids. They usually join me in the summer, because during the school year I go running while they are all in school. I love the photo of you and you son running together.

  13. Wow I think the running bug has bit him! A mile before preschool is quite impressive too! Congratulation on your half! That is a great medal does it double as something else like bottle opener or something? It’s cool looking for sure! Look forward to the recap! Thank you for linking!
