Thanks for joining Kim and me for the weekly run down today. This weekend, I headed off to camp. Camp Run Happy with the Brooks Running team I know I am going to have lots to share about this epic weekend of events so stay tuned. Right now, let’s take a peek into my week of fitness and fun.
I am off to camp
Monday- Peloton cycle + upper + lower body strength + barre and core
I do love to start the week off strong and hit all the classes. My shoulder has been a little sore the last few weeks so I went a little lighter on the upper body weights. I cannot get enough of those heavy deadlifts though.
Tuesday- 5.5 mile run + barre + stretch
Our humidity is edging back up but I won’t complain (well, maybe just a little). I got my tempo run done on pace for the first time in weeks. I will take it!
Wednesday- barre + core + upper + lower body strength + stretch
I got in a good solid strength and core workout today. We were gifted with a cooler day so I took a walk instead of a cycle class.
Thursday- 6 ish mile run + stretch + barre
It was a gorgeous morning for August around here with lower humidity and a beautiful little breeze. It made for a pretty solid run. I tried to go a little longer because I knew I would be away this weekend and was not sure of my mileage.
Friday- Travel to Park City, Utah ( 3 miles of airport walking)
It was kind of an all-day travel affair. I flew to Chicago and switched planes and then went on to Salt Lake City. I was a little delayed but finally got to the hotel around 5 pm. We had a fun meet and greet dinner and live band.
I am roomies with Wendy and we had a blast catching up on everything.
Saturday- 5-mile trail run/hike
We had an early. run/hike in Park City with the whole Run Happy Team. Hello, elevation! We spent the afternoon doing a group Tik Tok to be aired in the future. We spent the afternoon walking around town and shopping.
Dinner was at a fun local brewery with the whole team with a vintage aprés ski theme.
Sunday- morning yoga session and fly home.
It was a whirlwind of a weekend with lots of travel and lots of laughs.
Stay tuned for a full recap on Wednesday! It sure was fun to return to camp days.

Sounds like a fun weekend. I can’t wait to hear more. I love Park City but have only been there to ski. There are so many cute shops for an afternoon of shopping!
Deborah Brooks says
We may have hit up a few shops 🙂 I am so over the humidity and really need to get some decent runs in. Can you make it go away?

Very fun weekend for you! Park City is so lovely but elevation is no joke! I’m sure you guys had a ton of fun there.
