Thanks for joining Kim and me for the weekly run down today. This week, we had some really nice weather and I had a goal of getting outside every day. How did it go? Here is a peek into my week of fitness.
Weekly Run Down
Monday- core + full body strength + Peloton cycle + afternoon walk
After a whirlwind of a weekend, I am back home and ready to hit the ground running. With a little extra large coffee first, It was so nice out today that I had to get in a nice afternoon walk.
Tuesday- 5.5 mile tempo run + 2 mile walk + stretch
I am really enjoying the challenge of these Tuesday Tempo runs. It feels good to execute a plan right how I imagined. Another gorgeous day necessitated an afternoon walk.
Wednesday- core + full body strength + afternoon walk + stretch
A little bit of everything today. Since it was gorgeous out, I chose the walk instead of the bike today. The sun is nice this of the year before the intense heat and humidity roll in.
Thursday- run 5.5 miles + stretch
Thursday runs are now threshold runs. I am working on doing my recovery intervals slower so I can execute the paces on the faster intervals. Of course, I had to stop and grab this photo mid run when I saw the yellow flowers.
Friday- core + full body Peloton strength
It was raining this morning so I did not get outside today. I did do very heavy strength today ahead of my rest day tomorrow. I had an afternoon massage which was just what I needed to target a few little niggles this week.
Also, I had the whole week to myself over here but my husband and my son both came home today.
Saturday- rest day + stretch
My run workouts were hard this week and I am happy to have my rest day today. There will be a long stretch today. We are also Celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary today with a nice dinner out.
Sunday- On my plan 6-8 miles
Since I am currently not training for anything, I am using my Sunday run to keep my base up and do an easy run. It is also my son’s 22 nd birthday today so we will be celebrating him. It was a busy weekend!
Have a good run today and happy 22nd birthday to your son! Also I love you in that red jumpsuit. It looks fabulous on you!!
Thanks so much all around!
Happy anniversary! You look amazing in that red jumpsuit. Have a great week!
Thanks Wendy! Busy weekend around here
It sounds like your varying types of runs are working out well for you and keeping it interesting!

Your rhododendrons are so much farther along than ours. Ours are still tight buds! Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!

A busy but fun weekend — Happy Anniversary (and happy birthday to your son, 22 in 22 🙂
Glad you guys got to enjoy the nice weather, too. My husband was gone twice this week (just during the day) and I actually enjoy a quiet house!
a little alone time is nice sometimes! Yes, a busy and fun weekend all around
What a week with graduation, anniversary and birthday. Happy everything! Love the red pantsuit. Your mother nature matching was on point!
thanks May is always so busy but good! Always fun to match with nature
Happy anniversary and happy birthday to your son! Yes, a lot of celebrations. Glad your son is home! What are his plans now that he’s graduated?
Sounds like you had a great week of running and workouts. I usually find it challenging to fit in run workouts and strength training, but it sounds like you managed it well.
yes it will be nice to have him home for a while. He will be working for one of the Washington sports teams. If you ever want to chat Peloton and run scheduling feel free to reach out
Happy Anniversary! And happy birthday to your son! It must be great to have him home to celebrate.
You got some great outdoor photos this week. Do you have weights that coordinate with all your cute outfits? 😉
thanks a week of celebrations for sure. No on the matching weights but it is nice when it works!
Happy Anniversary! And Happy Birthday to your son – Enjoy all the celebrations 🙂
thanks so much lots of good stuff happening!
Excellent work and happy anniversary! I have been working a Varied Efforts run into each week although really what I need to work on is my sleep.
sleep is so important for me as well. Hope you find a way to get some more into your life
Love that you were able to get outside more last week and your photos from Thursday is SO pretty.
Happy Anniversary! It looks like you both had a great time 🙂
Thanks Kim-can’t believe it’s been 27 years!
Happy anniversary! Great picture of you two. Hope your son had a great birthday! May is a such a busy month around here too with school activities. And with this crazy weather it seemed like summer was already here. Except my pool is still green and cold 🙂
ha yes exactly!
