Weekly Rundown- It’s Still Florida
Oh, hello! Welcome to the Weekly Rundown. Every Sunday I link up with my virtual workout buddies, Kim and Deborah, to talk about our workouts for the week. And, I’m doing NaBloPoMo with San and an incredible group of bloggers- 30 blog posts in 30 days- we’re doing it! Here’s how the week played out for me… Monday I started the week with a lovely 4 mile run. So many good things about this run- instead of running entirely in the dark, I started in the dark but the sun rose as I was running. Don’t be telling me we shouldn’t turn the clocks back! I won’t listen. It was 60 degrees for this run, and the humidity was “low” (I mean, low for Florida.) It felt amazing. Tuesday Leg day at the gym! Sled pushes and pulls, squats, deadlifts, tibialis raises, calf raises, and side planks with leg lifts. Wednesday I don’t work on Wednesdays, and I like to do a long run on this day… usually. This week I moved it to Sunday. Instead I took my run to the beach! I didn’t actually run on the sand, but on the road that goes along the ocean. After 4 miles (with some fartleks thrown in) I got in the water- oh yes, this is why we live in Florida! Thursday Strength day at home. Runner’s Touch, squats, Bulgarian split squats, overhead press with dumbbells, and negatives on the pull up bar. In spite of my fantasies about “No Core November” I’ve also been doing some core every day- planks, dead bugs, crunches on my stability ball… the usual. Friday Another 4 mile run. Same deal as Monday- I started in the dark and ended in daylight. Saturday Off! I was able to sleep in until 7:00, then I got up and had a leisurely breakfast before work. After work, I relaxed on the couch with football and blog reading. A really nice day. Except… (cue the ominous music) a heavy blanket of humidity has returned to South Florida, and I hate it. Mainly because… Sunday On tap- 18 mile long run. I’m kind of bummed because running has felt SO GOOD, and now I have to deal with the heat and humidity again. Oh well. I’ll be bringing lots of ice! How was your week? Do you like humidity? –Hahahaha… that was a trick question. No one does.
