Hi folks,
How is your summer so far? Hot I hope! It’s August, and as promised, I’m back from a fabulous 2-week vacation feeling refreshed! Perhaps a break from reality was just what I needed. My husband and I took our 2 year old son to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida and we had a great time. I promise to post about the trip soon! Trust me, I have a lot of blogging material based on this trip!
August will be an exciting month. I took all of July off of running. Today, I went for my first run in 4 weeks. I have to admit that it was hard and I only got 3 km done. That’s OK! It difficult to get back into it after a vacation. I need a little motivation to get me started again!
I’m going to use of my of biggest motivation trick; I’m signing myself up for my next race! This will be the “Run For The Grapes” 5 km in September. I will be joined by Julie, my identical twin sister, for our first race together this year. We did this one last year together it was was great fun. Hopefully my sister Mona will be able to make it as well as my husband and other friends and family! Having a goal to train for is my best motivator!
I got some awesome Run Mommy Run branded technical tanks made for us this year. Last year I tried some DIY T-shirts. They looked good, but they looked terrible once they were washed. My sister started a small side business CDP by Joanne, selling promotional materials and she made this awesome tank for me! I had 2 other tanks made, for my two sisters for the race. I had the back of the tank personalized for each of us. The other two tanks will be revealed on race day!
Ok, so I said that August is an exciting month, that’s because I have some great new content coming. I want to do more video blogs as well. These posts might take longer to put together so please have patience with me in the mean time!
Tell me, how has your summer been so far? For the bloggers out there, do you find blogging in the summer more difficult?
Make sure to visit again soon to see my exciting new content!
Welcome back Lucie. Glad you had a nice holiday and I’m looking forward to reading all about it.
Those tank tops look good and they are a great idea too. I really must get something similar made up to promote my blog.

I’ve recently stopped running for a while and now it feels like my lungs are going to explode just like in the beginning. It’s funny how a little break can do so much damage!
I need to sign up for a race too if I want to get motivated again! 🙂

Daleian, signing up for a race, even if it’s months away, really is the best motivator to get you started again! It’s a strategy I’ve used since the beginning. I’m a goal setter, but a race is like an end goal. Good luck!
