Weekly Rundown- Back to Reality

Hellooooooo! I missed last week’s rundown because I was in Indiana FOR MY SON’S WEDDING!!!

On July 25th, 2026, I gained a daughter!

The wedding was so, so beautiful- there isn’t one thing about the whole experience that I would change. On Sunday we returned home after a long travel day, and I spent this week trying to get back to reality. Sigh, It’s hard to have this big event be over!

I’m linking up as always with Kim and Deborah– thanks, ladies! Here’s how the week played out.

Monday

4 mile run! Remember the sore hip? It’s still a bit cranky, but nothing I can’t run through.

Tuesday

Day off from work, and I spent it on some nagging tasks. On our return home, we were greeted with a serious of mini- house tragedies, such as a leaking hot water heater, a flood in the garage, and once we got everything cleaned up and couldn’t figure out why the house still smelled, we discovered one of the cats peed all over the rug in my son’s room (I guess now known as the “guest room”) while we were gone. ARRRRRG!

Wednesday

Okay, I seriously have to get my life back. I needed some trail therapy, so I got out to my favorite one for a nice 6.5 mile run.

I got to see my “running spirit animal”, ha ha…

At night I did Adriene’s yoga for runners.

Thursday

I did some lower body strength (bodyweight only), hip stability exercises and some hip PT.

Friday

4 mile run!

So now that the wedding is over, I don’t have to do upper body strength anymore, right? Hahaha… wrong. Later in the day I did an upper body strength workout. Sigh.

Saturday

Another 4 mile run! This felt good despite a very poor night of sleep.

At night- lots of foam rolling, which felt great on my hip.

Sunday

On tap… more hip PT and lower body strength. The hip is nagging at me just enough to remind me to do my exercises.

So, the summer is almost over for us! We have one more week until school starts. ACK!!!

How was your week? When does school start where you live?

Is it too early to start thinking about pumpkins? – (heh heh…)
