Weekly Run Down Summer Summer Summer

Monday- travel day back home

No real exercise due to travel home unless you count sprinting 30 gates in the Denver airport to make my connection. I arrived at the gate just in time gasping for breath. Being in shape has it’s advantages!

Tuesday- 4 mile run + 10 min core

A little jet lagged but happy to be back with my crew after a week away. Overnight storms provided a wet run but kind of felt good to run in.

Wednesday- 30 m Peloton class + 90 min strength training and kickboxing

Wednesdays are usually my hardest workout days and after vacation, even harder. Always good to get back to a routine and back to some basic exercises.

Thursday- 4 mile run + SUP class

The return of the heat meant I needed a few walk breaks on that run. I am ok with that for now. Went for an evening paddle board session with the crew. This has become my new summer fave activity.

After our run, I walked over to Panera for an iced tea with a splash of lemonade. Best way to cool off post run.

Sunday- thinking about swimming

Planning on a short swim today.

    I love your paddle board ladies and your shirts. I need to get some good vest tops although I’m still a bit worried I’ll chafe against myself!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 12:03 pm

      I have not had any chafing while paddling yet!

  2. Melissa says

    07/28/2019 at 11:28 am

    Great job getting in your workouts even when it’s super hot! And congrats on making your gate at the airport. That can definitely be a workout! Especially with luggage.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 12:37 pm

      it was crazy hard with all the luggage in tow!

  3. Kimberly Hatting says

    07/28/2019 at 12:06 pm

    I bet the humid summer air in DC felt oppressive after being in Colorado. You had a great transition back to your routine!

  4. Zenaida Arroyo says

    07/28/2019 at 12:26 pm

    I cannot imagine sprinting 30 gates to make a connecting flight! My week was not exciting at all. 🙂 I am feeling burnt out and hoping soon I will find joy in running again.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 12:40 pm

      I think a lot of us are getting burnt out with the heat and humidity. It really takes it out of me for the rest of the day in the summer time. It will be fall soon! Hang in

  5. Cari says

    Your three mile iced tea walk was my CP walk this morning. Iced beverage just makes it all so much better. I think it’s what made the 88 degree temps feel manageable too. How cool that you have a local SUP class. Saw some folks doing it at the Shore and it looks like so much fun.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 3:11 pm

      OH yes the iced tea walks are the best! Yes we do have a bunch of SUP opportunities in the summer time it’s so much fun

  6. Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says

    07/28/2019 at 1:00 pm

    Even though I actually enjoyed my run yesterday, I spent a lot of time binge watching some Outlander in the afternoon. I was really tired.

    Nice job getting right back into your routine!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 3:12 pm

      The summer runs are really zonking me out for sure!

  7. Coco says

    07/28/2019 at 1:13 pm

    Phew! Glad you made your connection. That can be so stressful. Your SUP pics look amazing. Swimming sounds good today too – summer weather is back!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 3:16 pm

      Summer weather is definitely back. Looks like a hot few days ahead

  8. Black Knight says

    07/28/2019 at 1:21 pm

    Can we call the 30 gates at the airport an “urban trail race”?

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 3:25 pm

      Yes indeed we can 🙂

  9. Kim G says

    07/28/2019 at 2:13 pm

    Nice job this week – you had a little bit of everything!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 3:26 pm

      I did have to keep it fun!

  10. Michelle @ Running with Attitude says

    07/28/2019 at 2:29 pm

    Phew glad you made your connecting flight! You did a nice job getting back into the swing of things this week.

    Thanks for the link-up 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 3:31 pm

      Thanks I was kind of wiped all week but got it done!

  11. Marcia says

    07/28/2019 at 2:54 pm

    Oh wow gate sprints are stressful! Glad you made it! Looks like you settled in nicely after your trip. SUP sounds really good about now!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 3:34 pm

      I have been wiped out this week from the heat and the travel. Looking forward to a quiet week ahead

  12. Wendy Rivard says

    07/28/2019 at 4:06 pm

    Glad you were able to get right back at it after your time in Aspen! Reality is always so jarring. You know I love me some SUP!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 5:46 pm

      I am loving SUP right now too! It is super fun and the season is short

  13. Debbie @ Deb Runs says

    07/28/2019 at 7:40 pm

    Where were you SUP’ing? It looks like a pretty lake.

    Thanks for the linkup!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 8:12 pm

      We were at Lake Anne in Reston very nice calm water to SUP in

  14. Montana @ Pretty Lil Mudder says

    07/28/2019 at 8:14 pm

    It always feels good to get back to routine after traveling! I’m glad to be back to my routine this last week, even though it got kind of wacked out due to work. Hopefully I can continue to get back on track this week!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/28/2019 at 8:27 pm

      That’s how I always feel too!

  15. Lisa @ Mile by Mile says

    07/29/2019 at 4:47 am

    It always feels good to get back to a workout schedule after time away! That paddle boarding sounds like a great summer workout. And I’m glad you made your connection at the airport- being in shape definitely pays off!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/29/2019 at 6:53 am

      I would be happy not to have to sprint down the airport again anytime soon!

  16. Renee says

    07/29/2019 at 6:30 am

    I always find it the hardest to get back into routine after being away. Great job this past week! Am envious that you have so many activities with your crew. I don’t have a crew anymore really. Hope swimming was nice yesterday!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/29/2019 at 6:56 am

      I am so very lucky to have a run crew who also loves to do all kinds of other activities. You may have to start your own running group too! I started this one 6 years ago

  17. Allie says

    07/29/2019 at 7:13 am

    Come back weeks are always a bit tricky but it seems like you got back on track right away 🙂 And SUP is the best! I’m doing some while on Cape Cod for the next few weeks!
    And being a runner basically always comes in handy at the airport!!! Why is always SO far to your connecting gate when you have zero time? Glad you made it!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/29/2019 at 11:09 am

      Enjoy your time out on Cape Cod. A nice place for summer training

  18. Darlene says

    07/29/2019 at 7:24 am

    Everytime I see you SUP pic I want to buy one. The hubby is not excited as they take up room and time to blow up (if you get the inflattable one).

    I can sign up for class but I need to do!!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/29/2019 at 11:15 am

      I don’t have my own SUP board (yet) but we are enjoying going out on them this summer. Lots of fun!

  19. Chaitali says

    07/29/2019 at 8:04 am

    Sounds like a full week! Sprinting 30 gates sounds pretty stressful, glad you made it without too much travel drama 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/29/2019 at 11:16 am

      Travel always seems to have drama these days!

  20. Laura Norris says

    07/29/2019 at 9:12 am

    Summer is the perfect time to enjoy SUP and other water sports! It feels so good to be out on the water on a hot day.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/29/2019 at 11:22 am

      Definitely a lot cooler out on the water!

  21. Becca | Rabbit Food Runner says

    07/29/2019 at 9:51 am

    I’m always happy to get back to my routines after vacations too. I have not tried SUP yet – what do you like most about it?

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/29/2019 at 11:28 am

      I find it really relaxing to be out on the water paddling. I like the rhythm of the strokes.

  22. Hannah says

    07/29/2019 at 9:57 am

    Always hard to get back to routine after vacation, especially when it’s hot!

  23. Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says

    07/29/2019 at 12:56 pm

    You had a great week! I still have never done SUP – I’m so scared that I would tip over constantly! And I totally agree – I had a crazy flight connection where I had to switch terminals and everything, made it in the nick of time!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/29/2019 at 3:03 pm

      Once you are standing up it’s pretty easy unless there are waves 🙂

  24. Jenn says

    07/30/2019 at 2:49 pm

    Any SUP day is a great day.

    You did a fabulous job getting back into the swing of things. I’m back to the real world after a few days of celebrating my friend’s 40th birthday and I am totally dreading tomorrow’s run!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/30/2019 at 3:39 pm

      getting back on track after a weekend of fun is not easy!

  25. Jessie says

    07/30/2019 at 8:51 pm

    Great week Deborah! Way to stay active in the heat 🙂 SUP is a great way to stay cool as long as you can jump in!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/31/2019 at 7:27 am

      It’s been a struggle with the heat so I’ve had to get creative to keep up my activity
