This weekend was busy. I really appreciated falling back and getting the extra hour on Sunday
Saturday
I did my regular Saturday morning chores, and prepped for my dad to take the 11yo to swimming. They left at 10:30 and I walked out the door soon after. I taught Teens, then went to Sparring, Forms, and High Belt at the dojo. I was there from 11am to 3pm.
Back at home my kids were done with the lunch my dad got them on his way back from swim. I cleaned up a bit, then took a quick shower before grabbing sandwiches for myself and my husband and heading to the airport to pick him up. He had been traveling for 28 hours and was super out of it.
I ran down to the Day of the Dead celebrations after I dropped off my husband. It was cold and I was alone, so I didn’t stay long.
That evening was pretty chill. My daughter and I watched Interstellar, which she loved. I haven’t seen it in ages and really enjoyed it. It was nice to hang out with her.
Sunday
So much to do Sunday. While I knew on Friday we were falling back this weekend, I totally forgot about it on Saturday. So when I woke up on Sunday I kind of freaked out, feeling like I had slept in too much, and was confused when my phone said it was just 8am. Then I remembered and was very happy for the extra hour.
Sunday was a busy day. I took my daughter and her friend up to my favorite park and they walked the circuit once while I ran it twice. It was a beautiful day and I was so happy to be outside. Back at home, I helped my son with his martial arts form for about 45 minutes, then did a 30 minute Dale Duro class on Peloton. After I showered I made pumpkin pancakes, both for dinner and for my son’s lunches. After family dinner, I took the 14yo’s friend home, then we hit up Grocery Outlet to buy milk and a couple other things. We ran into the 14yo’s old friend and her mom and talked to them for a while. At home again the kids made their lunches, then we watched a couple episodes of Parks and Rec, before going to bed. I try hard to take advantage of this time change to get to bed earlier, at least for a couple weeks.

SATURDAY: Sparring + Forms + High Belt at dojo

I am always in awe of people who the discipline to workout. I really struggle with it specially in the past few weeks. At least I am walking outside daily but everything else… I am so tired.
What is your motivation, how do you do it?
Oh, now I want pumpkin pancakes…
So happy you’re enjoying the Peloton platform. Yay. And Sunday was a beautiful day for a run. I was out there too. Was it crazy windy in the bay as well?
I was going to say it wasn’t that windy on Sunday, and then I remembered I tried to tie my shirt around my ears so I could hear my audiobook, so I guess it was! It’s always windy where I live though. Almost always. And yes I love the Peloton app. And I love my bike! So much fun.
It sounds like a nice weekend! I’m glad to see you’re running. And yes- I also appreciated the time change, and I also slept till 8 (but it felt like 9!)
