Weekly Recap at the Right Fits

Hello there! I’m hoping to make today’s post short and sweet. I’m linking up as usual with Jess from Jess Runs ATL for our weekly recap. Details at the end of this post!

Monday: Barre at the barre. Still recovering from 26.2 on Saturday.

Tuesday: [solidcore] before work with my friend Lindsey, 4 mile run with her after work- so nice to have a friend who does two workouts in one day with you 🙂

Wednesday: Complete rest. I caught Dustin’s cold and needed the sleep in the morning. We had dinner plans with Dustin’s brother after work at Brasa, so just ended up being a rest day.

Thursday: 6.2 mile run with Lindsey and Matilda the vizsla. Super humid and then we got caught in the rain at the end of the run. Dustin must have known it was supposed to rain, as he left out a few towels by the front door for Matilda and me when we got back (he had already left for work.)

Friday: I took the day off of work as my brother-in-law and two nieces were staying with us, with my sister and my 3rd niece arriving later on Friday, as it was close/move-in weekend for them at their new house in Eden Prairie. I didn’t get out to run until about 7 am, which was a nice change. Beautiful morning for 7.5 miles.

Saturday: I ran with my sister Cresta, who I am coaching for the City of Lakes half marathon in September. We covered 9 miles together.

Sunday: Cresta, my oldest niece Maggie, and I went to a hip-hop spin class at Surge Cycle in St. Louis Park.

Surge is a great studio with good people- they even called me ahead of time to warn me that the hip-hop class was going to include explicit lyrics; I had emailed them about my 14-year old niece taking the class with us, and they were concerned about the music. How thoughtful! My sister wasn’t too concerned though, as her daughter is mature enough to know not to repeat that language.

They both actually really loved the class. It was really cool that my niece is almost an “adult” and could join my sister and me at the class. It’s going to be so fantastic to have them in Minnesota!

Summary: About 27 miles of running, 1 barre, 1 [solidcore], 1 spin; a fun mix 😕

With my sister and family staying with us over the weekend, it was as though we tried to squeeze in everything Minneapolis-thing-to-do within one weekend. I think we forgot that they are LIVING here now, not just visiting.

We started on Friday with a trip to the troll tree on Lake Harriet, where the two youngest left letters for Mr. Little Guy. (He writes back within a few days- so adorable!)

Then we walked through the Rose Garden, Japanese Peace Garden, etc. at Lake Harriet, before making our way to the playground at the bandshell. Then on to Wild Rumpus in downtown Linden Hills (kids LOVE this bookstore), Creative Kidstuff, and ice cream at Sebastian Joe’s. (Yes, ice cream before dinner- I’m a bad aunt!)

For dinner, we went to Pizzeria Lola (Yes, I have been there a lot lately!)

…following by a bit of time listening to a concert at Lake Harriet.

We were also dog-sitting Breck the golden retriever. It was a full house this weekend!

Saturday after Cresta and I ran, we all headed to Glam Doll for some donuts:

…and then went mini-golfing at Can-Can Wonderland in St. Paul. (You must go there!)

After golfing we went to the Sculpture Garden and then checked out Pride Festival in Loring Park for a little bit.

Eventually it was time for dinner at Matt’s Bar for a famous Minnesota Jucy Lucy!

Sunday, we did the spin class at Surge and then went to the Linden Hill’s farmer’s market (which is small but awesome!)

The rest of the day was spent grocery shopping and hanging out at their new house to prepare for the movers to arrive tomorrow. Moving is a lot of work and I’m not even the one moving!

I hope you had a great week- please join Jess and me with your weekly recap:
