I Thanks for joining Kim and me for The Weekly Run Down. We are loving all of the fantastic participation and encouragement for our fellow fitness lovers. All I can say about this week is I am feeling hot hot hot. It is going to be a long summer around here! We are on day 12 of temps over 90 degrees and this week ahead looks like another scorcher. This anti early bird may have to adjust her ways a tad this week.
Monday-45 min Peloton + 60 m strength training + 10 min Peloton core + 15 min swim
Continuing my streak of hitting it hard on Monday mornings. I felt great in the afternoon and since it was so hot, decided to swim a few laps. It’s been a while and I am not in swim shape. Oops!
Tuesday-4 mile run and 10 min core
Yup this was another hot hot hot day! We picked the shadiest route we could find and got it done. Took a little picture break in the shady playground.
Wednesday- 15 min elliptical + 90 min strength training/kickboxing
I was exhausted from start to finish of this workout. Had a hard time pushing through. I am not sure if it’s the heat that is zonking me out or something else?
Thursday- 3 mile iced tea/lemonade crawl + 10 min core
Our second annual iced tea lemonade crawl was a great success. I will be sharing more details next week on how to “run” your own iced tea crawl. Perfect way to make it through the hot days of summer.
Friday-bike fail and Peloton 45 min class + 15 min core
So I got up early with grand plans to hit my bike before the heat descended. I was all ready to go even matched up my sunglasses and water bottle, when I realized I had a flat tire. Yes, I have a kit to change my tire and no, I do not know how to do it by myself. I knew the bike shop did not open until 11 so…back to the Peloton it was. I had a nice sweaty ride and got my tire fixed later in the day. Will try again next week!
Saturday- rest day +10 min core
Switched up my rest day this week because my son was home for the morning from his overnight camp. As a counselor, he get 24 hours off a week and I wanted to spend the morning with him.
Sunday- 3 mile run and 600 m swim
It’s another scorcher out there! I plan to meet up with the gang for a 3 mile run and some laps at one of the pool clubs.
That’s my weekly run down! I promise I will stop complaining about the heat at some point. I do have a nice “cool” treat for Meatless Monday tomorrow that you don’t want to miss.
A solid week of training: triathlon and more. Congrats!
I understand very well your complaining at heat, this weather made me change all the plans! I cannot wait for fall.
right there with you dreaming of fall!
Great week! I would love that iced tea/lemonade crawl – such a great idea. Nice you got to see your son! The weather is great here in Boulder – it will be hot but the humidity is so low!!
Enjoy that low humidity while you can! Hope you have a nice visit
I think it’s ok to complain about the heat–it makes it tough to do much! Not only are we hot, but we have storms in the forecast every day next week. I’ll be getting up early to get it done, I guess.
Have a great week!
Yes same here on the storms daily. I guess that’s summer!
I had to laugh at the bike “fail” the other day because that’s totally something that would happen to me. With my limited cycling experience or knowledge, I’d also be SOL on changing the tire LOL You had an awesome back-up plan, though 😉
Always have a back up plan right?! 🙂
It has been really hot here too, although I don’t mind it as much as cold! Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
I am dreaming of fall!
Heck, if I’m complaining about it up here, I think you’re entitled to complain about it down there where I know it’s far worse! My cooling towel is making a regular appearance.
Sounds like another strong week, Deborah!
I am planning on bringing out the icy towels this week. It is not going to be under 90 all week ugh
I was in Nashville most of the week and it was super hot there as well. This is around the time I start to countdown to Fall, LOL.
Looking forward to your iced tea lemonade crawl blog post because I really want to do something like that with my run group!
Yes it is so much fun and I will give you all the details!
The heat is finally here with a vengeance. I don’t dare complain. Winter was too long. Plus I don’t have any marathon training to do. I wanna do a “crawl”!
I am so glad that I am not training for anything right now. Just keeping the runs short is hard enough. The crawl is so much fun!
The only benefit of this hot weather is getting practice for what will probably be a how fall racing season! I look forward to reading more about your ice tea crawl – I love all things tea!
Oh I sure hope fall racing season is not hot! I am eyeing a few fun runs that I have to sign up for.
Every time you mentioned the heat on Instagram this past week I was grateful that I was where the temperature was in the high 90’s, but with very low humidity, I was quite comfortable. Now I’m back to reality… LOL
Thanks for the linkup!
Yes I bet you were glad to be away last week was brutal. You kind of came home right in the middle of it. I always think this week around the 4th of July is one of the hottest.
Summer is definitely here! We haven’t hit 90s but the humidity is back. I hope you had a great visit with your son. I would’ve skipped my workout too!
It was nice to see him for a short time before he headed back to summer camp. When they are older, you have to grab the moments when you can!
I will not stop complaining about the heat lol its insane! Maybe I feel its worse because I took two months off and it was still relatively nice outside when I stopped running so i had no time to acclimate. Either way, its bad this year.
Sorry about your bike tire! It sucks to have something unexpected happen and not be able to get it fixed in time to do your workout as planned.
I am glad I am not the only one who is complaining about the heat! We had a brutal week and this one looks tough too. Just have to do what we can right?!
12 days of 90 degrees?! Yikes! That iced tea/lemonade crawl is a great idea! Gotta do whatever you can to make the heat more tolerable, right?
It’s been a rough couple of weeks over here!
The heat has hit and it’s been a tough adjustment all around!! I was exhausted last week too because if it.
Sorry about your flat!! You know, it really is super easy to change a flat once you do it a few times. I was always so scared of having to do it myself out on the road but now I’ve done it twice and survived 🙂
Hope things cool down for you this week!
I know everyone says it’s easy to do and I have the kit in my bike bag. I just need to learn!
Sounds like a good week overall in spite of the heat! Those 90 degree temps were not pleasant last week but it looks like Summer is definitely here for good. That iced tea/lemonade crawl sounds fun 🙂
It sure does this week looks super hot too. The iced tea was fantastic!
I bet it felt good to swim during a hot week! It’s hot here also, with a chance of storms almost daily. But after a long cold winter and spring, it does feel nice to have summer weather – even if it makes running hard.
yes it does definitely make the running challenging!
I’m with you – I don’t know how to change a flat tire either! I do need to learn.
Let’s both learn!
Meh. I think it’s perfectly ok to complain about the heat. It’s about 100 degrees outside and I don’t even want to do anything that involves leaving my couch. Sumners can be so hard,
Right there with you!
Seems like everyone has crazy heat right now. It hit 80 here this weekend but we don’t have the humidity to deal with. The heat can definitely affect your workouts.
It’s the humidity that just kills me! Is it fall soon?
Ice tea crawl, how unique 🙂
Bummer about the bike flat, but lucky you to have such a great backup option!
Always have to have a backup plan right?!
I was sad not to join the Wrap but I only ran two short runs in the week, and had one yoga session, then was away for the weekend with little blogging time when I got back! Catching up on the blog posts from it now, though!
No worries hope to see you back this weekend!
We’ll all stop complaining about the heat — and then it will be snow. At least we’re consistent
Love the playground shot
Yes I guess we are! Give me cold temps any day over this heat
Same. Way easier to warm up than to cool off
seriously yes!
You are truly amazing keeping busy all week! I am interested in the iced tea lemonade crawl. Sounds like fun!
It’s the best way to beat the heat!
