Hard to believe last week marked the half way point in training for RnR Philly. It was also my birthday week and my husband J planned a great birthday getaway to one of our favorite inns in the White Mountains. So it was perfect timing to see that the RC coaches had a cutback week on the training plan.
Monday, 8/1: Strength Day
Tuesday, 8/2: Track workout — 400 meter repeats, plus warm up and cool down – 3.25 miles
Wednesday, 8/3: You know how crazed work becomes right before you take a few days off…yeah well that was this day! Yoga was necessary!
Thursday, 8/4: Day off so I slept in until almost 9 (What?!?) and then got in 4 easy birthday miles, before a much needed mani/pedi – the hot stone leg message was the highlight!
Friday, 8/5: I swapped Saturday’s LSD to today and got it in super early before we left town. I ran 6.5 miles, and probably faster than I should have, but it was a picture perfect morning…and I was ready to head out of town 🙂
Saturday, 8/6: 4.25 miles of hiking. I thought it would have been cooler in the mountains, but surprisingly, not so much. But the scenery was beautiful and worth it.
Sunday, 8/7: Rest Day
The inn we stayed in serves the biggest country breakfasts and amazing 5 course dinners – and we indulged to the fullest! It was a great weekend and now I’m having a hard time getting back to reality 🙂
So that’s my #WeeklyWrap! As always, big thanks to Holly and Tricia for hosting this linkup! By the way this wonderful linkup is celebrating its own birthday so be sure to stop by and see what this great group of bloggers are up to.
I’ve been known to get up super early before going out of town too! Running against a clock does help to speed you up!
I hope to get in a hike in the next month or so. Where we’re going they say is about 10-20 degrees cooler on the canopy floor so I’m looking forward to seeing if it is true! Thanks Michelle for your support and making our WW link up so great!

Thanks Sharon!
The mani-pedi with hot stone leg massage sounds like the perfect way to start your birthday weekend! I love a big country breakfast. We eat that a lot for supper, actually. The inn sounds like a wonderful place to stay and your picture of that rocky stream is so idyllic. Thanks for linking, Michelle!
This inn is truly a little slice of heaven! It was a great place to celebrate 🙂
