Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. I was surprised that I was more tired than expected from last week’s trail adventures. My Sunday run just did not feel right and my legs were still a little sore. I am dialing it back a notch this week with the running miles.
Recovery Week Of Sorts
Monday- upper body + core + recovery Peloton class
Still feeling a little off from last week. Kept it light today. Does my knee feel weird? Went in for an infrared sauna and stretch session that always feels good even if 98 degrees out.
Tuesday- run 4.25 miles + stretch classes
After a night of storms, woke up to a cloudy yet oh so humid morning. Went out for a short, easy run. I was gifted with some sprinkles which always helps. My Knee feels fine when running so I think I just aggravated it with all the hills last week.
Wednesday- 3 mile power walk + core + upper body + stretch
Continuing to take it easy this week. It was so nice out and I opted for a power walk instead of my cycling today. My Hamstring still feels a little tight and the knees feel a little off. Easier workouts are just what I need.
Thursday- 4.25 miles + stretch
If every day were like today, summer running would no longer be my 4th favorite season. Woke up to temps in the 60’s and low humidity. My kind of running day! Just soaking it all in. I am feeling so much better and much less sore today. I wanted to run long and had to rein myself in! Run short today so I can run long another day. I am proud of myself for taking it easier this week. I am finally feeling recovered.
Friday- 30 min yoga and core
Another gorgeous day here and had to take advantage of it. Took all my yoga gear outside for some poolside yoga. I need to do this more often!
Saturday- fly to Nantucket, Mass
I am off again! Heading over to spend a few days with friends in one of our favorite spots. Looking forward to lots of biking and running in cooler temps. I am glad that I allowed myself this recovery week of sorts. I am feeling back to myself and ready to take on long runs again. Have a great week!
Another fun adventure awaits! Glad you had the opportunity to give yourself some recovery time; still a great week for you, though 😉
yes, I am glad I did take my recovery seriously and I feel ready to get back at it
Glad no injuries and just too many trails. You are smart to take it easy. But it looked like an awesome experience.
Have fun on your next adventure. I know you will.
Keep posting those IG photos.
yes glad I took the time to recover properly and feeling much better now.
Totally with you on these magical first few days of summer. Come on Mother Nature, this is the summer we need Glad you’re feeling back to normal and your knee was just asking for some down time. Enjoy the time away.
yes, I was really glad that I took proper recovery and I feel recharge for the new week
Glad you dialed it back this week. It’s so important to listen to our bodies. Now, about that weather…can we have it back please? :p
Yes I was glad I dialed it back as well. Seriously on the summer weather. I think we are stuck w it for 2 months
I need to be better at holding back in great weather! Enjoy your next get away!

Nice job listening to your body, Deborah! Glad you’re feeling back to normal.
I absolutely love practicing Yoga outside — I’d love it even more if I had a pool. 🙂 Hmmm, pool Yoga . . .
hmm pool yoga could be something to try! 🙂

We do love to travel and couldn’t wait to reschedule everything from last year
Very smart to recover this week! You did a lot last week, plus it was different so I’m sure it affected your body! Have a great trip!
yes it was a different kind of stress on my body. Glad I took the extra days and I feel much better
Recovery is so important! But why is it sometimes harder to take it easy than workout as usual?
Way to go this week
It sure can be challenging but I am glad that i did it this time
Sounds like a wise choice to have dialed it back this week. Enjoy your time in Nantucket!
Yes I am glad that I did dial it back this week.
Glad that you took the time to recover this week – you had quite the adventure in California!
It’s been a busy week for you! Enjoy your time in Nantucket this weekend!
Nantucket, how wonderful! My husband went to high school and college in Boston, so we went to Nantucket once for a wedding. It’s gorgeous.
Love your peach hat from Tuesday!
yes it is a gorgeous place to vacation
I’m glad you’re finally feeling recovered from your California trip. Here’s hoping you’re having a wonderful time in Nantucket! Have fun and thanks for the linkup!
Thanks! So far so good
You made the right thing recovering this week.
Listening to my body is a lesson too difficult to learn for me but I MUST do it!
Have fun on your next adventure.
I agree! Hard to do but necessary
A good choice to rest yourself and listen to your body – well done!
Thanks Liz!
Happy to know you are recovered. Just in time for another trip! I’ve been seeing your pictures and it looks like you are having a wonderful time.
thanks yes we sure are so far
Have so much fun on your next adventure! We were up in Cape Cod a few years ago, and it was just fabulous. I miss the Northeast. We are keeping our trips close to home for right now. I think we will go to DC with A when his 8th grade class goes, and that will be our first big return to travel!
I hope you start feeling better soon.
The northeast is a great place to be in the summertime. Let me know when you are in DC!
On the go again? Lucky you!! Hope you are having a great time. I am in the planning process for a big camping trip right now. It’s another big one. I’m really looking forward to getting out of town!
That sounds fun look forward to reading all about it
