Time for another Weekly Wrap with Hoho and Wendy! This week was all about “showing up” for me. Starting to adapt to heat a bit more and accepting that it is going to be hotter. I am going to go slower and shorter and maybe need some more walk breaks. I am accepting that and I will just keep “showing up” for my runs.
Weekly Wrap Just Show Up
Monday-30 min elliptical + 60 m strength training + 2 mile walk
I was feeling full after dinner and did not just want to sit around. I could not convince my hubs to come with so solo evening walk it was. All great until the mosquitos feasted on me :).
Tuesday 5.5 mile run
Another hot and humid day out there. Had to take a few walk breaks but I managed to finish with a smile on my face. Just show up and get it done.
Wednesday- 30 min elliptical + 90 min strength training/kick boxing + 2 mile walk w friends
Finishing a sweaty gym day with some fun ball pikes. I had to do them a few times to get a good enough photo and my wrists were killing. Ha ha.
Thursday- 4.5 mile run + short swim
The heat and some calf tightness not a great combination. Just show up is my motto of the week and the summer.
Friday- Master swim class 1 hour
A gorgeous day to be in the pool. Tough class today! Trying to remember how to do backstroke for my cool down without bumping into anyone or anything.
Saturday- 7 mile run
The lower humidity and my just keep showing up attitude paid off! Finally, had a good run and built back my confidence for Chicago RnR next Weekend. I was seriously doubting my ability to be able to do the 5K and 10K until today. Running will do that to you huh!?
Sunday- on the plan 20 mile bike ride
Bloggers on Bikes! The start of my epic blogger meet up week! Biking with Deb and Coco. Stay tuned for photos.
I am happy to report that I am finally adapting to running in the heat. Just keep showing up! How was your week?
I’m convinced that 80% of summer running is just starting, especially on the really hot and humid days!
Yes I agree!
I had such a great time with you and Courtney this morning! Thanks for driving out my way for a ride.
When you posted that first picture to Instagram earlier this week I didn’t notice the women in the background looking completely pooped. Was she a plant to contrast the cute pose of you and your friend or did it just happen that way. Either way, I love it!
ha yes she was actually wiping sweat off of her face LOL. Fabulous to see you today
So glad that you had an awesome, confidence boosting run on Saturday!
I like your motto “just show up”, especially for dealing with outdoor workouts in the summer.
Oh yes motto of the summer! See you soon
I swear you and I are living parallel lives! At least we both feel ready for RnR this weekend. I CANNOT wait!!!!!
I know it’s kind of crazy! Yes I am so excited to see everyone #Epicbloggermeetup
I am so glad that I SHOWED UP today! It was so much fun — thanks for inviting me. LOL on the extra reps needed to get a good photo — I’ve had a similar experience trying to get those plank shots.
you know I am crazy about getting a good photo!! So glad that you came out today
I’m loving you summer motto! I’ve really struggled this summer. It’s hard to accept sometimes…especially when others don’t seem to be affected. But, you and I both know it won’t last forever. Right? I can’t wait to hear the detail of Bloggers on Bikes. Now that is something I could get excited about! Thanks for linking.
It was fun biking with the ladies today! Can’t wait to meet you this weekend
Summer weather can be so challenging! I think you have a great attitude about it. Can’t wait to hear more about Bloggers on Bikes!
I am sure trying to improve my attitude!
I love this mantra! Your Bosu Ball core work makes my abs hurt just looking at it haha. I’m going to be doing a lot of cross training and rehab in the next few weeks so I’ll have to use it
Let me know if you give it a try! I love all the Bosu moves they are super challenging
Fantastic mix of workouts this week for you! How fun. I need to look into a masters swim class, they sound awesome!
oh yes check them out super challenging and I’ve learned a ton
Just Keep Showing Up is fantastic! That’s a great mantra we all should be using 😉
Woot…Chicago is almost here!!!!!
I cannot wait to meet you we have so much to talk about!
Love the motto to just keep showing up! You put in some serious miles this week – way to go! I feel like I’ve been having to do the same with the heat we’ve been getting & just kind of take it one workout at a time – sometimes one move haha I’ve also been making sure to switch it up and exercise a few days a week at a studio, a couple days a week at home early in the day before it gets hot, and going for walks with my pup when the sun isn’t at its strongest.
Mixing up the outdoor runs with the indoor ones certainly helps quite a bit! Have a good one
Just show up is a great mantra, thank you for sharing that! And I love that “Have a strong day” tee, too. A good week, well done. I have been avoiding the heat by running early but made myself face it yesterday in case my race in August is really hot. Argh.
I have been trying to run earlier too it helps a bit
Its all about just getting out there and doing what you can! Glad you had a better week of running. I hope things go well in Chicago!
Thanks so much me too!
That’s a good motto. I have been keeping up with my runs even in this heat. They have been much slower with more of a run/walk but that is fine by me. I am at least getting it done.
Yes getting it done is key!
You can SO do the 5k and 10K!!! No doubt! We’re going to have a blast and any and all paces!
It’s going to be a blast so excited. Sounds like an epic group of ladies
Showing up is most of it. Once I’m out there, I can get my mileage in. It’s getting out there that’s the trick. My brain keeps saying I have my treadmill, in a nice cool basement.
Well yes there’s that…
Just keep showing up is a great philosophy for the Summer! That’s pretty much what I’m doing too. I figure as long as I get the runs in, I’m not worrying too much about the pace in these conditions 🙂
Yes exactly! we just have to keep moving forward
Just show up is a good motto this summer! I’m getting used to being slower and ok with it when my runs don’t go as planned.
Yes it’s hard to accept but I am getting there. Thanks for sharing
Sounds like a great week! Glad you are feeling more adapted to the heat.
I am sure trying!
I like your attitude about just showing up! Really is the best way to approach this summer heat!
See you in Chicago 🙂
It sure is! See you soon 🙂
Love the bench photo! Just keep showing up is great attitude. Enjoy all things Chicago!
Thanks super excited!
I love that – “just show up” – I haven’t been showing up enough the last few weeks. That will change this week.
We all have weeks like that!
