Hello. Reading all of the reasons why you love to run has been both heartwarming and motivating. So many times I found myself nodding my head, smiling and saying “YES!” Thank you for sharing and if you every find yourself in need of a little running inspiration, read these comments!

I had a great week of workouts so I wanted to share them with you. You’ll find a nice little mix of running, strength and yoga and I’m also posting a 28-minute bodyweight tabata workout that I did at home on Wednesday. I ran out of time to make it to the gym before teaching so I rolled out a mat, cranked the music and got to work. You can’t beat bodyweight tabata intervals for a quick workout you can do anywhere!

Monday

5 mile run at 8:25 pace

Beach run. 90 degrees and 70% humidity. This was pretty brutal. On SnapChat I told everyone it was like “hot running” instead of hot yoga.

Tuesday

Sunrise yoga self-practice

Two of the four mornings that I was in Florida I woke up with yoga on the brain. I’m not a first thing in the morning exerciser but something in me felt like I had to practice.

A total body tabata workout that can be done anywhere with no equipment in under 30 minutes!

Wednesday 

Tabata home workout

Read this post for all the info on why and how to tabata.

Thursday

3.2 mile treadmill interval run + strength

This was my birthday workout! I did a Skyfit treadmill interval workout with lots of sweaty hills and sprints and then some strength work. Pull ups, bench press, deadlifts, ring rows and more. I ended it with a leg press extravaganza. So good.

Friday

Hot yoga

Saturday

4.5 mile run at 8:24 pace

Run with Zoey girl. We had the most gorgeous weather in Charlotte this weekend with cool mornings and low humidity. This run felt effortless!

Sunday

3 mile treadmill interval run + strength

We stayed at the Charlotte Marriott City Center on Saturday night (more on that to come!) and their gym was an experience not to be missed. We woke up on Sunday morning and got in a great workout before brunch. You can check out one of the super sets that I did on Instagram!

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

So Many Dinner Ideas

So Many Dinner Ideas

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
