Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. Summer Summer Summer just continues to fly by each week. After last week’s travel, I was ready to get back to my normal schedule the second half of this week.
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.
Friday- 3 mile walk
Really a rest day but went for a 3 mile iced tea walk with friends.
Saturday-4 mile run
Super hot one this morning but got the run in. Pretty wiped the rest of the day.
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.
After a week of traveling, I was happy to get back onto my regular schedule again. That’s my weekly run down! How was your week? Thanks for linking up today.
Liz Dexter says
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
I have not had any chafing while paddling yet!
Melissa says
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
it was crazy hard with all the luggage in tow!
Kimberly Hatting says
I bet the humid summer air in DC felt oppressive after being in Colorado. You had a great transition back to your routine!
Zenaida Arroyo says
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
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
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
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
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
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
The summer runs are really zonking me out for sure!
Coco says
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
Summer weather is definitely back. Looks like a hot few days ahead
Black Knight says
Can we call the 30 gates at the airport an “urban trail race”?
Deborah Brooks says
Yes indeed we can 🙂
Kim G says
Nice job this week – you had a little bit of everything!
Deborah Brooks says
I did have to keep it fun!
Michelle @ Running with Attitude says
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
Thanks I was kind of wiped all week but got it done!
Marcia says
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
I have been wiped out this week from the heat and the travel. Looking forward to a quiet week ahead
Wendy Rivard says
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
I am loving SUP right now too! It is super fun and the season is short
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
Where were you SUP’ing? It looks like a pretty lake.
Thanks for the linkup!
Deborah Brooks says
We were at Lake Anne in Reston very nice calm water to SUP in
Montana @ Pretty Lil Mudder says
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
That’s how I always feel too!
Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
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
I would be happy not to have to sprint down the airport again anytime soon!
Renee says
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
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
Allie says
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
Enjoy your time out on Cape Cod. A nice place for summer training
Darlene says
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
I don’t have my own SUP board (yet) but we are enjoying going out on them this summer. Lots of fun!
Chaitali says
Sounds like a full week! Sprinting 30 gates sounds pretty stressful, glad you made it without too much travel drama 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Travel always seems to have drama these days!
Laura Norris says
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
Definitely a lot cooler out on the water!
Becca | Rabbit Food Runner says
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
I find it really relaxing to be out on the water paddling. I like the rhythm of the strokes.
Hannah says
Always hard to get back to routine after vacation, especially when it’s hot!
Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says
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
Once you are standing up it’s pretty easy unless there are waves 🙂
Jenn says
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
getting back on track after a weekend of fun is not easy!
Jessie says
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
It’s been a struggle with the heat so I’ve had to get creative to keep up my activity
