Thanks for joining Kim and me for the weekly run down today. After all the travel I had last month, I am happy to be back to my regularly scheduled program of workouts and meals. Here’s a peek into my week of workouts. As much as I love to travel, it is much harder to stay on track with eating and exercising. It feels good to be back on track this week.
Back to our regularly scheduled program
Monday- Peloton cycle + core + upper body
I sure missed my bike and it felt great to get back on it. Back to my Monday coffee posts as well. Spent the afternoon at my parents’ house for my dad’s 83rd birthday.
In case you missed my Whipped Watermelon and Feta Salad, you can find it here.
Tuesday- 6 mile run + stretch
Holy smokes it was hot today! It was a slow and sweaty 6 miler with the run squad. It was almost 90 degrees when we finished our run. Is it fall soon?
Wednesday- upper body strength + core + stretch
Hit it hard in the gym today. Felt good to lift some heavy weights. It’s crazy hot outside so I am glad that was not a run day today.
Thursday- 6 mile run + stretch
Holy smokes it was brutal out there today. The sweat was off the charts! We made it though. I am on a mission to keep up my miles this summer even if it kills me. It just might.
Hosted a super fun mixology class with a couple of friends We had not all been together for a long time and it was fabulous. I really missed parties and I love to host them.
Friday- upper body + core + Peloton cycle + stretch
Hit it hard on the upper body and core today. Tried some different Peloton instructors to mix it up. I skipped my lower body strength because my hamstring is still not quite right since those hills in San Francisco.
Saturday- Rest day with a stretch
Taking full advantage of my rest day today. Chilled out in the hot tub for a bit. I hate when it is gorgeous out on a non-run day!
Sunday- On the plan 8 miles
It is going to be another hot one!
Its definitely nice to be back on a schedule at home! Last week was so hot again and it was nice to get a little break yesterday. Great job this week!
It has been really not! I always think July is the hottest month!
Happy birthday to your Dad! That mixology class looks like so much fun. I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t a bad week to be sidelined from running!
yes this weather is no fun at all!
We’re actually pretty cool here with rain in the forecast. It was nice as the week ended–70s, which is fine by me. Sadly, I can’t take advantage of it!
Your mixology class looks fun–glad to see cocktails are making a comeback. Have a great week and stay cool.
I always think July is the hottest month and it is not disappointing.Have to take advantage of the cooler days when they pop up
…and I’m about to head out for a short run with either long sleeves or arm sleeves LOL Hoping for a warm-up before our (possible) ride later. Isn’t it great to have life getting back to (almost) normal? What a great theme for a get together! The mixology class looks like a fun time 😉 I hope your hammy feels better!
Arm sleeves really? It is quite warm here. Hamstring is still bothering me not really sure what is going on
A mixology class sounds awesome (especially if I’m not the host! 😁). What did you make? I made some mojitos this past week – my first time. But then we used up all of the mint on my plant so we need to wait for more to grow. I hope that hammy settles down!
I was the host ha ha! We made a limoncello drink and orange crush and an espresso martini. I am not used to all of that alcohol! It was really fun though
Happy birthday to your Dad! Great job getting out there in the heat. I hope your hamstirng feels better soon! Stay cool, Deborah!
It was really hot this week. Hamstring still not great but trying to work through it
You cannot catch a break from that heat! It hasn’t been too bad here thankfully. Happy Birthday to your dad! We’re headed out to a “July Birthdays” celebration later today. Your mixology party sounds fun! Hope that hamstring settles down.
July is always so hot so we just have to power through! Hamstring still not happy but I am hoping I can figure out what is going on thanks
Luckily, I had a run on tap with my friends yesterday and was able to take full advantage of the wonderful weather!
It sounds like you had a great time with your friends at your mixology class – looks like at least one of the drinks you made was lemon drop martinis. Yum!
Hope you have a fantastic week and thanks for the linkup!
yes we did lemoncello martini, orange crush and an espresso martini. More alcohol than I ever drink!
I bet it feels good to get into a routine. Happy Birthday to your dad. Your mixology class sounds like a lot of fun!
Have a great week!
It was a lot of fun. I don’t normally drink that much 🙂
Wow, that’s some intense heat! Way to still get out there and stick with it.
A mixology class sounds really fun! I bet you are a fantastic hostess 🙂
I sure do miss having parties! It was fun to get together again
Great job, despite the weather! It has been hot here too but cooled down this weekend. Hbd to your dad!
no cooling off here!
Nice job with your runs in that heat! It will all pay off for you in the fall- running will feel so easy.
That mixology class sounds fun- and you have some cool-looking friends!
That is what I hear…
I didn’t realize how hot it’s been in your area. Here it has cooled down and we’re expecting some rain. It feels like Fall but with humidity. I LOVE the idea of a mixology class!! That is something I would love to do.
July is always rather miserable here! enjoy your cooler temps
Love the mermaid pattern!
Happy birthday to your Dad. So glad you were able to celebrate together.
mm. Limoncello. Not much of a drinker but they’re perfect in the hot weather.
Hope your hammy is starting to feel better. I too took a break drom squat hell when mine was flaring
it was nice to celebrate w my dad in person. I am not much of a drinker either but it was fun. The espresso martini was good. going to pop into Dr tomorrow for a look at the hamstring
good idea, hope it’s an easy solution
I had a really good espresso martini around the holidays at the Rubin Museum’s cafe one year. That was a fun, festive drink
It is a good drink!
As much as I love holidays, I always like getting back to my normal home (and fitness) routine! SO glad you were able to celebrate your dad’s birthday and that you’ve started hosting again!
yes, me too things are starting to feel normal again
Awesome job on your workouts this week! You got in some great quality runs too.
The mixology class looked like fun! What was your favorite drink that you made during class?
I am not a huge drinker but I did like the orange crush and the espresso martini
A Mixology class sounds like super fun.
Nicer job getting out there even in the heat. We’ve had crazy humidity which is not normal for us up North.
Hope your hammy behaves.
This humidity is insane! I am dreaming about my October race in Corning.
Oh my gosh! So when Mr PugRunner went to the store this week, I asked him for watermelon, arugula, feta and balsamic so I could make salads for lunch. LOL!
It’s just hot and swampy here. There’s no getting around it.
We have had a few small get togethers and it’s been so good for my soul.
It sure is swampy! Getting back with friends is the best isn’t it?
