Better late than never!

 The past few weeks, I’ve written blog posts about training and keep forgetting to post it! So- sorry for the delay but here is last week’s workouts. For now, I’m off on an adventure to see some friends so I’ll be sure to share more later!


Monday

1 mile run


Today was technically supposed to be a rest day, but Dan wanted to do a quick run so I couldn't let him down! We're also dog sitting right now, so at night we took the dogs for a long walk.


Tuesday

40 min run


The sunflowers are in full bloom at Dix Park, so I had to join my friends for an early run. It was humid and smokey out but I was happy to have one of my longer runs this morning. Plus, the flowers were beautiful!


Wednesday

1 hour boot camp


Two early morning workouts in a row! Feeling back to my normal groove and it's great! Today's class was very leg heavy- lots of squats and lunges so I was exhausted by the end. Great workout though! After work, I met up with a friend to hang out and noticed a beautiful sunset, so I went on a little evening walk around the park.


Thursday

1000 yard swim

Today's swim workout was a fun speed play- warmup followed by 100 yard intervals that was 25 yards easy-25 hard-25 easy-25 hard. After that we did 4 intervals of 25 yards all out and a cool down. It was tough but I enjoyed it a lot.

40 min bike
My plan had hills on the schedule for today, so we did a tough ride through some neighborhoods near us. There were some tough hills and my legs were toast by the end of this!


Friday

1 hour kayak


Nothing like kayaking around on a beautiful day! It was a bit choppy out so I definitely got my workout in, but I still got some relaxing in on this ride. I upgraded to a foldable kayak this year and I'm really enjoying it!


Saturday

1 hour bike

I had a lot of fun making this route- I combined a few areas that I usually bike to make a longer ride and then added on a few new loops as well. It was a bit of a cooler day so that also felt great and I set a few segment PR's on Strava!


Sunday

30 min run

I started this run way too late and regretted it because it was HOT and sunny out! I decided to check out a new neighborhood that I always drive by, and there was no shade at all. I had a lot of regrets by the time I was finished but I got it done.

    1. This is how our skies are 75% of the time- it's one of my absolute favorite things about living in North Carolina!! You can't beat it:)
