Thanks for joining Kim and me for the weekly run down. I always get a little frazzled when I know I am traveling. This week was no different. Today starts my 4 day adventure in California. Looking forward to sharing it all with you over the next few days. For now, here’s a peek into my week of fitness.
Frazzled and Traveled
Monday- upper body, core, stretch, and Peloton
Just how I like my Monday! Filled with a little bit of everything. Still feeling sore from my lower body workout and yesterday’s run, I did some extra stretching.
Tuesday- 10 mine run + infrared stretch session
Knocked out a mid-week 10 miler! hey, why not? My friend has a half coming up so I decided to get those extra miles in with her. It was so hot and humid, I was pretty wiped the whole day! I was happy to have an infrared stretch session on the calendar. I skipped the sauna part as I just could not bear to be in the heat again. It took me all day to recover from this one!
Wednesday- core, strength for runners, and upper body strength
Admitted still a little wiped from yesterday’s sweat-fest, I chose to take it easy today. I know I have a big week next week and tapering a bit seems smart.
Although our anniversary was a few weeks ago, we had our real celebration tonight. We headed out to our favorite special occasion restaurant about and 1.5 hours away for dinner and an overnight stay. I ate and drank way too much but we had so much fun.
Thursday- 3-mile power walk and Peloton stretch
After a late night and drive back home this morning, I chose to do a power walk and some stretching. I am trying not to overtax my legs too much before heading out for my California adventure.
Friday- Run day 6.5 miles
I wanted to get in one more run before heading out to California. We knew it was going to be a soaker all day but opted outside anyway. The rain feels good on a warm summer day. You have to shower anyway so why not?
Saturday- Travel to California!
Our adventure begins. Can’t wait to share my photos over the next few days. A long 5.5 hour flight so I was sure to pack all of my flight friendly, high protein snacks.
Sunday- On the plan-running across San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge
I am a little frazzled and traveled this week but it’s all good! Looking forward to sharing my adventure with you next week.
Your Thursday sneakers are so cute! Happy belated anniversary. so glad you were able to celebrate it in a favorite place. Can’t wait to see all the photos and hear about your adventures!
Thanks we are excited to get out there and explore this week
Woe. 10 miles mid-week. Kudos to you.
Happy anniversary. Love that dress. You look amazing.
Have fun on your trip. Can’t wait to read about it.
Thanks yes it was a busy week but a good one. Looking forward to sharing my adventures
Sheesh! A 10-miler midweek is so good! But I would be wiped too!
Happy Anniversary! You looked beautiful and sounds like it was worth the overnight stay. 🙂 I cannot wait to read about your California adventure. Sounds like it will be tons of fun! Enjoy!
yes I am so excited for this week! thanks
Happy anniversary! The celebration sounds like a fun one. Have so much fun on your West Coast adventure!
Thanks so much super excited for our adventures this week
How fun that you’re going on another adventure! I’m sure the lower humidity and escape from the cicadas is much welcome. Looking forward to seeing your photos. By the way, you continue to look amazing!!!
Yes I am excited to escape the cicadas and the humidity for a few days. And thanks so much I’ve been working really hard on the nutrition side of things and I am feeling much stronger
Happy Anniversary! 🙂
You had a great week of workouts and I hope you have a blast on the West Coast this weekend!
thanks so much really forward to the next few days!
Have fun on your trip! I also get so frazzled before traveling. Hopefully you can relax a bit while you’re there!
That is the plan thanks!
Ah, I can’t wait to hear about your runs in CA! The lower humidity will feel great. i know what you mean about those long, hot, humid runs- they can really take it out of you.
Enjoy your trip! I’m starting to get a big time travel itch. I’ll be at home for work & family reasons through the end of July but once August gets here I’m going to have to take a trip.
Yay I hope you have the chance to travel soon as well
I am sure you’re gong to have so much fun this vacation, Deborah! You did a great job of keeping active this week & dialing it back, too. Kudos!
thanks so far so good out here and enjoying the weather
Wow on that 10 miler! I think you picked the hottest day of the week to do it too. And speaking of HOT, you clean up nice. 🙂
I can’t wait to hear about your California adventure!
Ha we did pick the hottest day to do it just worked out that way! Yes, can’t wait to tell you all about it. Need to have lunch again soon
Great week! That mid-week 10-miler was so badass! I am so excited to hear about your Cali adventures…San Fran is such a neat city!!!!
bad ass by accident but yes it felt like an accomplishment
Happy anniversary!!! Hope you have a great trip!
Thanks so much!
The heat can really wipe us out, can’t it? Though running in extreme cold has a similar effect.
Happy anniversary!
yes I agree but I still prefer the colder temps1
you did great with all that heat! I would have skipped the sauna as well! From what I can tell already on IG, so far your trip is going well! I’d tell you to have fun but you are already doing that 🙂
yes we are thanks!
I’m so looking forward to following your California adventures! I hope you’re having a blast!
Happy belated anniversary! Our friends’ son is a chief at The Inn at Little Washington.
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
thanks so far so good!
Mad props to you on the mid-week 10 miler and in that heat!
Have so much fun on your trip! Looking forward to seeing your pictures.
Thanks so much!
Happy anniversary! Sounds like you had a lot of fun.
I know what you mean about feeling wiped out after your 10 mile run. I am excited about your trip and cannot wait to hear about it.
thanks so far so good!
Looking forward to hearing all about your trip. I haven’t been to California in a long time but I really enjoyed the time I spent there. Biking in the humidity and heat wasn’t so bad for me, but I think my husband did get dehydrated a bit from his long run and it took several days to recover. Sounds like a wonderful overnight celebration with your friends. You all look so nice dressed up 🙂
WE did have a really great time thanks
