This week brought some much-needed time off!
My office was closed Monday for the Juneteenth holiday and then I took Thursday through this upcoming Monday off for an extended weekend. It’s been bliss to have some downtime. There has been lots of time spent on the deck – reading and catching up on my coursework; some fun family time; finally got to see Top Gun Maverik, and I have a day planned to catch up with a friend for tomorrow!
This week was also brought the official start of summer and the heat and humidity made an appearance in full force…just in time for race day.
I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down. Here’s a quick look at how things played out.
Week 25 – Enjoying a Little Staycation
Full disclosure this photo is from last Sunday’s run – but it was also the best run of the week!
Monday — 3-mile walk, Core & Stretch.
Tuesday — 1.5-mile walk & Upper Body Strength.
Wednesday — Peloton ride, 1-mile walk, Core & Stretch.
Thursday — 3.5-mile run & Upper Body Strength.
Friday — 3.6-mile run, Core & Stretch.
Saturday — 2.5-mile walk, otherwise rest.
Sunday — BAA 10K. I’ll recap this race at a later date but suffice it to say … Heat & Humidity 1, Michelle 0.
My #OptOutside streak hit Day 88 today, and the #3for31 Challenge continues to roll along.
In case you missed it:
Tell me something about your week? Do you have any time off planned?
Heat and humidity are such run killers, aren’t they? I’m sorry you had such a tough race. Summer running is so special, isn’t it?
Enjoy your staycation!
I swear summer running has gotten so much harder for me these past couple of years!
Looks like such a pretty spot to run in that pic! Sorry the race was tough. Heat/humidity are killers. Enjoy your time off!
Thanks Marcia – it’s been great to have some downtime.
summer heat and humidity are not a runner’s friend! Hope you had fun today anyway. Nice to have a few extra days off for you! sorry I messed up the link up today
Definitely not a runner’s friend, but always fun to be on the race course with other runners!
No worries on the link up 🙂
Ugh, sorry to hear the race was tough. But, yay for all those #OptOutside days adding up! You’re almost to the century mark!!!
Hitting the century mark will be a fun milestone 🙂
Yay for the staycation. Boo for the hot and humid race! Hopefully you relaxed on your deck afterwards!
Oh yes, there was a lot of deck time post-race…and ice cream! 😉
Heat & humidity can definitely be buzzkill when it comes to races. Good job getting out there & doing your best.
You SO deserve that staycation — sounds like you’re making good use of it. 🙂
Aww thanks Judy 🙂 I’m doing my best to get the most out of each day!
Glad you were able to enjoy a staycation for a few days!
Ugh – the weather yesterday was definitely not ideal for racing but great job getting it done!
Thanks Kim – the weather was just so wrong!
That day off was surely welcome. A staycation is a great idea.
I tend to get away when I don’t work.
We had such nice weather until my race. I feel for you.
