Running towards vacation

We’re leaving today for a family getaway! I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to a break from work and the routine of home life. A little uninterrupted family time will be so good!

Before we head out, I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down. Here’s a quick peek at this week’s workouts.

Weekly Run Down — Week 28

Monday —  Upper Body, Core, and Stretch.

Tuesday —  3.1 miles, Lower Body, Core, and Stretch. 92% humidity…but at least there was cloud coverage and the occasional breeze.

Wednesday —  Rest Day. I had an early start at work and a crazy busy day, so aside from some time on the mat to stretch this was a rest day.

Thursday —  3 miles and Stretch. While I continue to head out early for my runs there’s just been no outrunning the humidity (91%!). There was a lot of negotiating with myself during this run but got it done.

Friday — Upper Body, Core, and Stretch.

Saturday — 4 miles, Core, and Stretch. I was planning on running 6 or 7 miles, but when I woke up feeling pretty creaky, I opted for a hilly 4-mile route instead.

Sunday — 25 min Peloton Ride, Core, and Stretch.  Before I started packing I jumped on for the AFO Imagine Dragons ride with Sam. The playlist was so good and Sam really helped to give this ride a music festival feel. Perfect way to head off on vacation!

How was your week? Have you settled into summer running?

  1. humid and hot and dodging the thunderstorms – that was my week.

  2. I am finally in the acceptance stage of summer running! I don’t like it but I am going to do it. Hope you have a fantastic vacation

  3. It was a rough week with all that humidity! I hope you have a great vacation!

  4. I love Sam’s ride. He also has a cool behind the scenes video on his IG page that explains the process behind planning the ride. It’s pretty cool – check it out if you can!

    I hope that you have a wonderful vacation this week!

  5. hooray for vacation! hope you have an amazing time!

    we’ve had a lot of humidity and rain here – even summer walking hasn’t been pleasant. I am however looking forward to experiencing a bit of summer running finally!

  6. Enjoy your vacation!

    I have that AFO ride on my to-do list. I heard a story about how much effort Sam put into the play list and class plan.

  7. Have an amazing vacation! Hopefully somewhere a little less humid, ha!

  8. Humidity is a KILLER. I know people complain about dry heat as well, but I’m not buying it- humidity is worse.
    I just saw Jessie’s comment above mine- yes, I hope you’re heading off to Arizona or somewhere similar! Have a great time.

  9. A summer getaway sounds DIVINE about now! Have so much fun!

  10. Have a great vacation! Obviously my running has been majorly interrupted. Really hoping we get to that vacation next month!

  11. Enjoy your vacation!!! I’m with my parents and my youngest son. I’m hoping to keep him entertained in spite of my injury. We usually have so many adventures. We’ll see how it goes. I hope you’re going somewhere fun.

  12. That Imagine Dragons ride sounds fun! The humidity has really been pretty extreme this year…we usually get a few days respite (now and then), but not in 2021. Enjoy your vacation!

  13. Enjoy your getaway! I hope it is to the beach.
    That Imagine Dragons ride looks like fun!!

    Summer running is here, and while I haven’t embraced it, because ew, I’m dealing with it.

  15. Enjoy your vacation! Family time away from the hustle and bustle of just being at home is the best!

  16. Have a wonderful holiday! We’re having a heatwave here with advisories, I was going to run this morning but it’s too hot and humid for me and I’ve bailed on the running club practice run this evening though I might go up to see how to check people in on our new system as I have to help lead it next week. We are promised a thunderstorm that won’t help today, then two days of them that will break the weather at the weekend – can’t wait!
