Thanks for joining Kim and me for the weekly run down today. September could not come fast enough for me. I am over all this heat and humidity and ready for some fabulous fall runs. Here’s a peek into my week of fitness and fun.
Hello September
Monday- barre + core + upper/lower body strength + cycle
Some Mondays are harder to get moving and this was one of them. I did manage a pretty good workout and a short Peloton cycle class.
We checked off another activity on my summer bucket list with a Michael Bublé concert. It’s very unlike me to be out and about late on a Monday night.
Tuesday- 4 ish mile tempo run + barre + stretch
I was seriously dragging this morning after our late night out. Not to keep complaining about the summer heat but come on, 92% humidity is just ridiculous. One of my running buddies said we are in “survival mode” right now. Doing our best out there. Running in these temps just wipes me out for the day!
Wednesday- barre + core + upper/lower body strength + cycle
A great mix of strength and mobility today. I saved my stretch class for later in the day.
Thursday- 10K run + stretch + barre
Today’s run was a gift! I woke to lower humidity (75% instead of 90%) which made a huge difference for me. I am so temperature affected. While our lower humidity is not going to last long, this was just what I needed 4 weeks out from the Maine half.
Friday- core + barre + upper body + 2.5 mile walk
A shorter lower intensity Peloton workout day over here. I met a friend for an afternoon walk.
Saturday- rest day
Peloton stretch and barre to keep up my streak.
Sunday- on the plan: 10 mile DC monument run
So excited to meet up with Coco, Cari, and Montana for a full on tourist DC Monument Run. Stay tuned for lots of photos.
If I ever get to DC I will enlist you all in a monument run. So fun.
I saw Michel buble before he was famous. He’s great.
Happy to hear your humidity has died down. Us too.
One more month!!
you are so close you have to come and I would be happy to be your guide anytime
Looks like you had great seats at the MB concert! Worth the late night! I swear I’m seeing that gold color of the Brooks top all over fashion this season!
WE had fun and it had been a long time since I was at a concert like that.
Ooh I love MB! He just came here too and I heard the show was great. What a way to spend a Monday night!
Nice job this week. Love the new Brooks gear!
He was great in person and it was a fun thing to do after so long!
How fun that you got to see Michael Buble! .njoy your monument run today–I am definitely going to have FOMO>
I’m loving all the new fall Brooks gear. They really picked great colors this year!
I am ready to be your tour guide anytime!
I am envious of your DC monument run! I love DC, and running with friends would inky make better 🙂 I can tolerate the extreme heat & humidity (as you know), but that doesn’t mean I love it… I do appreciate when Momma N “lightens up” and shows us some grace (in all seasons). Enjoy your run today!
WE had a great time but it did get way hotter than forecasted.
Congrats on the late Monday night 🙂 Looks like you had great seats! I was happy that we had balcony seats at the Blondie concert because everyone stayed seated during the show. haha! That sounds like a really fun run you have planned today. I’m sure the miles will fly by!
It was really fun to get out to a concert again after so many years.
I hear you on the humidity effecting your run! Sometimes I conquer it & sometimes it conquers me.
We say Michael Buble a few years back. I love how upbeat his music is!
Your monument run sounds amazing. Enjoy!
He is a great performer for sure! The humidity is winning right now but the end is near-Ihope
Yay for your fun monuments run today! You guys are going to have a blast! The weather here at the beach has been consistently warm to hot, but not unbearably humid and the breeze has kept it nice. Although I’m looking forward to cooler morning temps and crisp air, I’m not looking forward to getting when riding my bike.
Yes, temps do feel different on the bike than on foot. I am ready for some relief now though
I hope the weather is good today for your run- I can’t wait to hear all about it. Yes, you must be pretty happy about fall approaching! I can’t believe you grew up in Florida- you must have been pretty miserable.
I love those Brooks fall colors!!!
ha ha I don’t remember much except going to the beach and the pool a lot. I obviously was a kid and not a runner so way different perspecitive
So great seeing you today!
Hopefully our weather will break for good soon. It really is rough in the humidity.
It did turn out to be sunnier and hotter than expected but so fun to see you all
So fun to see Buble!
I feel you on the difference a drop in the humidity can make! I’m more than ready for fall weather.
Your monument run with Coco and Cari sounds like so much fun – enjoy!
He was a great performer and a fun night out for us. I know you are with me on this humidity ugh
Looking forward to seeing your meetup! Humidity is awful, isn’t it. We’re having some better weeks here now, although we have thunderstorms predicted all week which isn’t going to be huge fun.
WE had a ton of fun together!
You had a really amazing week! And I know your weekend meetup was fabulous! I just love this!
It was so much fun stay tuned for a full recap tomorrow
I love Michael Bublé! I bet that concert was awesome. You are a real trooper for getting in your run the morning after the concert in that crazy humidity. I’ve heard that we’re supposed to get a break in the humidity this week – let’s hope that is true!
He was a fun concert! I am hoping for less humidity too-for both of us
Michael Buble is my favorite singer ever. He is amazing in concert. I can’t wait to hear about DC running. Sounds like a great time with friends.
He was a great performer and a fun concert
Sounds like a great week Deb! You are quite the DC running tour guide, it’s brilliant!
It is really fun and it never gets old
