It’s the end of another crazy busy week around here! I am always thankful to have this space to share my weekly workouts, struggles and stay accountable with Wendy and Hoho. It’s been a wild weather week here for sure. We have basically had non stop rain and a few wicked thunder storms all week long that have make outside training challenging. Let’s get right to this weekly wrap rain rain go away edition.
Rain Rain Go Away
Monday- 30 min elliptical + 60 min strength training
Mostly abs and arms for this Monday workout. Was supposed to bike but no such luck with the weather.
Tuesday- 4 mile run/walk
After a night of wicked thunder storms, the sun came out and it was over 90 degrees all of the sudden. I was not ready for running in these conditions and my run turned into a run + walk. I need time to adapt to humidity. Thankfully had my friends along for the challenge.
Wednesday- 90 min kickboxing and strength training
Kicked it into high gear for this Workout Wednesday-always one of my favorite workouts of the week.
Thursday- 3.5 mile run
Okay mother nature, you can’t stop us from getting our run done. Anyone have a spare Ark?
I was so happy to have these new Kleenex Wet Wipes in my car after this adventure. I was a mess! You can find them on sale at Amazon right now. Would so appreciate if you checked them out here.
Friday- vinyasa yoga class and 50 m elliptical
No surprise that we awoke to torrential rain again. My bike plans were again ruined. The is everyday rain is getting very old! My Friday swim class was also cancelled because the pool is under maintenance this week. Trying to “go with the flow” and got in a Vinyasa class.
Saturday- 45 min elliptical at home
I was hoping the rain would clear and I could finally get on my bike but no such luck. Still pouring rain rain go away please.
Sunday- Girls on the run 5K
I will be running our end of the season 5K with my team of almost 60 girls and 10 coaches. Much more to come on that later in the week.
And in other non fitness related or weather related news this week also included:
Mother’s Day, 23rd wedding anniversary, my son’s 18th birthday, husband coming home after a 9 day trip, last day of Girls on The Run pizza party, a friend’s wedding, lacrosse regionals game, senior prom, anniversary dinner and girls on the run 5K. Yup I packed a lot in this week!
Tell me does this time of the year seem crazy busy to you too? Are you experiencing all of this ridiculous rain?
Wow, that is a crazy week! You had a huge GOTR group. Wow. That’s so awesome. Glad you had time for your anniversary dinner.
We did have such a big group and I love it so much. Yes finally had a chance to go out w the hubs last night.
It’s been a crazy month and I’m struggling to get it all done. We’ve had a ton of rain too. So over it!
I’m looking forward to hearing more about your GOTR 5k!
I think I am busier this month than during the holidays this year!
It’s been pretty rainy here in Florida too lately. I know we get our summer afternoon rain, but this is something else. The humidity is up too.
The weather has just been crazy everywhere this year!
Sorry for all the rain! Rain can be such a buzzkill, especially when it’s nonstop. You did have a lot of stuff happening! May has been crazy for me, as well. As much as I”m dreading the upcoming graduation (for selfish “mom” reasons), it will be nice to have that checked off my lengthy to-do list.
I know I have such mixed feelings about graduation. I am not ready to let my baby go yet.
This rain has been crazy and I know you have been getting way more than us! My folks live up that way and my mom is totally over it. I’m sorry the weather derailed your week but it looks like you still managed a good one! Happy anniversary and happy birthday to your son!
It has been so crazy with floods everywhere. Not our usual for sure
GOTR seems like such a fantastic organization, good for you for being a part of it!
What a busy week. Impressed you balanced it all, way to go!
I love coaching the GOTR girls so much 🙂
I am ready for the rain to be over too. I think it rained everyday this rain. And today I had a short window with no rain to try and go for a run, but wasn’t lucky enough to finish without it starting to rain again. Hopefully this coming week get nicer.
I sure hope so for both of us!
Square… Ark. LOL
We’ve had the same weather a few hundred miles north. It’s ridiculous. We had a dash of summer again today, although not as bad as Tuesday. I’d like a consistent spring, I’m not yet ready for summer. I watched an insane black cloud float just north as I sat in the park to read, but luckily didn’t get wet. These last couple weeks have been nuts, but not as crazy as yours.
They sure have!
Yep it is definitely a busy time of year and there has been way too much rain! I was so glad to see the sun yesterday. Hopefully the weather will be decent this week!
I sure hope so for both of us!
We have had rain on and off for weeks. We did have a week like that a few weeks ago, where it rained 6 days straight. Cold rain. It was horrible!
Here’s to a nice sunny week this week.
Thankfully my life is nowhere near as crazy.
Yes here’s to a nice sunny week for both of us! Have a good one
I just love your puddle pic. It looks like you enjoyed that rainy run. Congrats on a successful GOTR season! 60 is a huge group of girls. You never know who you are planting the seeds for — could be the next Desi or Shalane! Thanks for linking!
Well that is so true! thanks
OMG the rain this week was so annoying. I was like “Is this how people in Seattle feel”?!
Congrats on another successful season of GOTR!
The rain was crazy! I think people in Seattle have more of a misty rain instead of the deluge we had. At least I hope so for their sake 🙂
Lots of ridiculous rain! It’s been raining almost all day for a week now. I feel like I’m in Seattle, not Florida! Is it just me or does the rain make you feel lazy?
Yes we have the same it’s crazy!
Our weekend was mostly a washout. And guess what? It’s raining today. I know it’s making everything green and pretty but it’s really raining on my parade too!
Right there with you today too. It’s getting old for sure
You have quite the group for Girls on the Run!
They make me so happy!
