Thanks for joining me a Kim for the weekly run down. This week summer made a dramatic entry in to these parts. It was kind of an off week for me. Most of the week we were in a very rainy and humid mess which led to a severe storm that brought summer heat raging in. I felt off my game this week a bit.
Weekly Run Down feels like summer
Sunday-core + upper body strength + tread walk
As expected it was a rainy day so up to my gym I went before heading over to my parents’ house to celebrate Father’s Day. My dad is in much better spirits since his ablation last week and seems to be feeling much better.
Monday-Tread walk + upper and lower body strength + core
Hit my Monday hard just the way I like it! I am in week 4 of my upper body program and finishing week 3 of my glutes and legs program with Adrian. Doing them on the same day is killer! (In a good way)
Tuesday-planned rest day + core
I had a Dr appt that required me to fast and pretty much took all morning. Why did I make this at 11 am?! I was so hungry lol. Anyway, I pretty much knew my day was shot and had workmen in the house the rest of the day. Tomorrow is another day!
Wednesday-Peloton hike + upper body strength + core
A great night’s sleep had me ready to take on a hard workout. It did not help me with my Wordle score though 🙂
In case you missed my review of the Nathan Pinnacle Breeze Hydration vest you can catch it here.
Thursday-3.5 mile walk + lower body strength
Well, hello summer! I had intended to run with my group today but it was already in the mid 80’s by 9 am with ridiculous humidity. No thanks! I opted for a sweaty walk instead followed by an intense lower body class. Later, I had fab deep tissue massage. We had another wicked thunder storm late afternoon.
Friday-morning power walk + upper body strength + core
After a crazy storm last night, we woke up to a gorgeous day (finally) in the mid 80’s with lower humidity. I had a nice weighted vest power walk followed by finishing Tunde’s upper body program for the second time. I spent some time in the afternoon reading by the pool.
Saturday-morning power walk + Pilates
It’s a hot one around here! A morning walk before it was too hot felt good. Later, I welcomed in the first day of summer with some reading and floating around the pool
The weather the first half of the week was so gross, but I escaped the Thursday evening storms. It’s super hot here, but the humidity is low so it feels like a sauna, not a steam room. LOL
Glad your dad is feeling better!
A sauna is always more enjoyable than a steam room LOL
ha, I love that Wordle mug! glad it is finally cooling down for you to enjoy some outdoor workouts. I don’t know how you deal with that heat/humidity! but great job still getting it on- esp the weighted vest!
This is why summer is my 4th favorite season!
This summer has been so weird, weather-wise–we have now joined you in the swamp. Ugh.
I hope everything went well at your doctor’s appointment.
Hasn’t the Wordle been so hard lately? Did you get DATUM? Is that even a word, lol?
There were a few words recently that we did not think were legit!
Glad to hear your Dad is doing well.
It’s definitely pool weather this weekend!
My dad is doing a lot better thankfully!
Spending a sunny Friday afternoon reading by the pool sounds glorious!!
I need to buy that mug for my dad and my sister. We do the Wordle every day together (exchange results on a chat), that would make the perfect gift for them!
The mug is great! Wordle has been sort of annoying lately with a couple of questionable words! My husband and I are super competitive about it as well
I’m jealous of your pool! We got a taste of your weather this weekend, We finally had some rain last week, which definitely upped the humidity as well. Glad to hear your father is feeling better!
Come visit anytime!
Yep, sounds like summer. The heat has been making me even more angry than usual this year. I read your hydration vest review- I don’t have that one but I have a similar style, and aren’t they great? I also thought I wouldn’t like it, but you really don’t notice them once they’re on. And you can carry so much!
Anyway… I hope you get a break from the heat this week.
Hope we both survive this heat! Have a great week
11am for a “fasting necessary” appointment is pretty late for me too! For a minute there I thought you were holding a Pop Tart at the pool! Can you tell I have just been shopping and staring at the Pop Tarts? (it’s been a long time since I’ve had one of those!). I have been getting a lot of reading done at the pool this weekend. This is the first weekend we’ve been able to use our pool! It has been a good week to use that hydration vest. I’ve been going through a lot of water on my workouts this week!
this is the first weekend we could use our pool as well-so much rain the last few weeks. Enjoy yours too!
Is your e-reader waterproof? I would be so worried about accidentally dropping it!
Great workouts! It’s going to be a heck of a week temperature wise. Stay safe.
Supposedly my kindle paper white is waterproof-but untested! You stay cool this week too 🙂
Wordle for the last week. Rage
A few of those words needed to go in a curio cabinet
So glad your dad is feeling better
Wordle was annoying last week! Yes, I am so glad my dad is doing better thanks 🙂
Well, summer is here… the pool day sounds amazing, although I don’t envy the humidity where you live. I’ll take the dry heat over here any day. I ran in Germany a couple of times in the last couple of weeks and it was so muggy there, too.
summer running is tough for sure! We do what we can 🙂
