walkers walk… but runners fly

Weekly Rundown- Is it Fall Yet?

Welcome to the Weekly Rundown, hosted by Kim and Deborah (thanks, ladies!) I had some nice runs last week. Strength training could stand to be more robust, but I’m working on it. Let’s just see how the week went…

Sunday

It was my day to sleep in and be lazy for a while. Later on I got out for a 5 mile run, finishing just before dark.

Monday

In the morning, Caroline Girvan’s deadbug workout. Later in the day I did some lower body strength exercises with no weights, including runner’s touch and one leg sit-to-stand.

Tuesday

14 mile long run! Unfortunately a lot of the trails looked like this after our recent rain:

I did this run on a mix of pavement, dirt paths and some grassy areas.  I finished very hot and sweaty. Will it ever cool down???

Wednesday

GYM! I finally got myself to the gym, and did a full body strength workout, including squats. Hooray.

Later in the day, I walked for an hour while I talked to my son.

Thursday

In the morning, Caroline Girvan deadbugs. Later in the day I ran 5 miles. I’m really enjoying these before-dinner runs as it’s getting dark!

Friday

In the morning, an upper body strength workout. After work I got out for a 50 minute walk and then, we had a football game! It was the first playoff game, and we won 28-7.

Band playing the halftime show on the track… field is still sodden from the rain.

Saturday

TODAY IS THE DAY! We finally dipped down into the 50s!

Turn off the AC! Throw open the windows! This should be an official holiday in South Florida- it’s the day we’ve been waiting for. I got out for an early morning run in the crisp, cool, dry weather.

Best day of the year.

Sunday

On tap for today- a run before dinner. And, this would be the PERFECT day to put up the outdoor Christmas lights! I’m not saying I will definitely do this- but if if I don’t, I’ll probably regret it. This might be the nicest day we have, weather-wise, for a while.

So that was the week! As a reminder, I’m joining San and a crew of fearless bloggers for NaBloPoMo.

How was your week? Do you put up outdoor Christmas decorations, and if so, when do you do it?
