Rest Then Run {Weekly Workouts}

Good Monday to ya!

It felt great to detox from social media this past weekend and enjoy (a busy, on-the-go) Mother-Daughter Weekend to the fullest.

Now it’s Monday, and my body is ready for a day of true rest. There was a lot of “resting” last week, too, so I guess it’s the name of the game lately.

Workouts | Week of July 28

Monday – Tone It Up Tabata Workout 30 sets of stairs

Tuesday – 6 mile run at 97F(!) bike commute to work

Wednesday – Rest (bike commute to work x2)

Thursday – Rest (nap needed!)

Friday – 4 rounds of this dumbbell workout (via Instagram) 3 rounds of this kettlebell workout 25 sets of stairs 25 push-ups

Saturday – Rest – solid amount of walking

Sunday – 6.25 mile run

• I enjoyed riding my bike to work a couple of days this week, despite the heat. I hope to keep riding the short commute to and from work at least 1-2x per week through the cool fall days.

• Finally… I met my 10K training game plan by completing two, six mile runs this week. They were very similar in route, but Sunday’s cooler AM run felt like a breeze compared to Tuesday’s challenge in nearly triple digit heat.

• Race Day is this Sunday! Ready or not, here I come.
