Week in Review 9/4 - 9/10
Monday, 9/4
Holidays are for group trail runs, right? I started my Labor Day running 9.66 miles on some nearby trails. It was gorgeous! Of course, my phone was incapacitated, so I couldn't snap any pics of my own. I did steal a couple that the group shared on FB.

Tuesday, 9/5
After a long run on Monday, I decided it would be best to give my body a little rest on Tuesday.
Wednesday, 9/6
My phone still hadn't arrived by Wednesday morning. Good thing I have my Garmin to record my runs now. :) I finished my 2.85 mile run to this amazing sunrise. I convinced Jeff to come out to see it and snap a picture for me.
@EnjoytheCourse breaks down her week! TWO long runs plus some other fun, too. :)
Thursday, 9/7
Managed a little strength training before work. Sunshine Sculpt + 3 DMs (reverse crunches, tricep dip + leg extensions, pushups). It's all I could manage. :-) I took a half day at work because even a 4-day work week seemed too long last week. I took Sallie for a short walk before meeting up with Jeff's cousin who was in town for her daughter's 21st birthday.

I took off Friday as well! I felt a little guilty because there was a lot going on at work last week, but I'm feeling pretty refreshed now, so I'm glad I took the time. I really wanted to get in some speed work because I hadn't yet, but man, it was a struggle to get my butt out the door. The rain started about halfway through my 3.0 mile run. It helped with the recovery of the fartleks I did for this week's speed work.
Saturday, 9/9
Booty Burn (11 min) + 5 DMs (Braced squat, Single arm kettlebell swing, Single leg deadlift, Sumo squat, Sumo squat to press) + Hatha Yoga (39 min). Great start to the day! I also managed to convince Jeff to take a nice, long evening walk with me.

The treat was a Starbucks before heading back home.
The Sallster got to come with us, too, but she just had water at Starbucks. ;-)
I slept in much later than I should have this morning, and didn't end up starting my long run until 10AM. I was quite HOT by the end, but I did manage 10 miles. I'm happy with that, even if there were more frequent walk breaks during the last 3 miles. I had a cooling towel with me that really made the difference, I think.

I'm linking up today with guest host Sara as well Tricia & Holly for the Weekly Wrap. Have a fantastic week, everyone!
All great reasons for a good week! Strong week of work. That cupcake looks amazing and Salster....so cute!! I loved reading your blog :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sara! I'm glad you enjoyed reading my blog!! 😄
DeleteGreat week and congrats on that 10 miler!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Wendy!
DeleteWhy DID our short week feel so long? Nice week and mileage for you! Starbucks is always my treat! I had three PSLs this week. A little too much treating, I guess. Does Jeff roll his eyes when you ask him to take a pic? Just wondering...my husband does. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis definitely wasn't my first Starbucks test of the week. 😳 I try to not ask Jeff too often to take pics because I know it's not his favorite thing. 😉
DeleteI am so impressed that you are all running in that heat out there. I am so enjoying our cooler temps. That cupcake :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to cooler temps, too, but they are taking their sweet time. ☹️
DeleteGreat week Clarinda! Those trail run views looks so pretty and peaceful! Sallie ..what a cutie! Oh my goodness, sprinkle cupcakes and starbucks ...yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love her face so much! 🐶
DeleteGreat week! Gosh it's been so long since I've done a double digit run...I'm jealous ;-) I'd love a good trail run, too, but I did get in a bit of a walk through part of a trail this weekend;
ReplyDeleteIt had been quite awhile for me too. You'll get back there, I'm sure of it!
Deleteinteresting and inpirational review.. great work..
ReplyDeletekeep the good work up !
Thank you!
DeleteCongrats on a great week - especially your 10 miler!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim!
DeleteMy week seemed OK, even with one less day. I was ready for my weekend though. I love 3-day weekends, but then I have to squish everything in to 4 days instead of 5.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that part of them isn't the greatest. :(
DeleteGreat week.I think with the cooler temps now It has been easier to get runs in. I don't mind this weather but I hate winter runs.
ReplyDeleteI moved to Vegas because I hate winter. It still gets cold here, but so much more manageable! :)
DeleteGreat job with your mileage, especially those long runs! I would love to run on the trails near you - they look amazing!
ReplyDeleteCome to Vegas, and I'll happily take you out on some trails. :)
DeleteGreat work - you look happy and strong jumping at the end of your 10 miler.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Abby! I was starting to get pretty worn out by the end, but I still finished strong. :)
DeleteA day off is sometime what the body needs. Great mileage this week. Trail running is fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Yes, I've really come to love trail running. :)
DeleteI know! I feel like I'm always going from 0 to 60. Where's my mid-range?! lol
