Super quick check in tonight. My weekend has been a sea of boxes, U-Haul Trucks and eating out.
The good news? I survived moving.
Here are my workouts for the last week. More on the move coming soon in the weekend recap! For now it’s a miracle that I got this post up. 😛
Monday
Hot yoga
Tuesday
3 mile run + Strength
3 rounds of 15-12-9 descending reps
DB chest flies (15#)
DB tricep kickbacks (10#)
DB single leg/split lunge (back foot on bench) (15#)
Decline push ups
Tricep dips
DB front squats (holding two 15# dumbbells)
Wednesday
Strength
Set a clock for 25 minutes…
Minute 1: Deadlifts (95#)
Minute 2: Burpees
Minute 3: Pull Ups
Minute 4: Box Jumps
Repeat for 5 rounds, 25 minutes. I set a goal to be consistent in my reps and got 15 deadlifts, 12 burpees, 12 pull ups and 13 box jumps every minute. This was a killer workout!
Here’s a Pinable.
Thursday
3 mile run
Friday
Hot yoga
I got a fun new arm balance transition thanks to one of my fellow teachers!
Saturday
6 mile run
When I woke up Saturday morning Charlotte was experiencing crazy heavy downpours. I really wanted to get a long run in because I knew we were moving on Sunday but I didn’t think it would work out. Lucky for me the skies cleared abound 9:30 a.m. and I was able to squeeze in 6 miles before teaching at 11. I wanted to get 8-9 in but there simply wasn’t time. For whatever reason, 6 totally kicked my butt and I was feeling it all day!
Sunday
REST
JK…we moved…not quite rest, huh!? 😉
What did your weekend workouts look like? Tell me about your long runs (or short runs!).

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

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 [...]

Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]
