All of sudden, it was summer and not the kind, we normally experience in Upstate New York:

Last Week-

• Sunday – First an early morning gym visit…

It was actually a perfect day to spend on the a lake… we even bumped into friends docked on the same bay.

• Monday – Since I worked two Sundays, I got the day off..

On Saturday I ran 3 miles doing 30:30 run/walk intervals… so today I decided to try 60:30 intervals.

Too sunny and hot by the time I got out and so I only make it 2 miles…

The good news is that the Achilles seems to be improving!!

• Tuesday – WFH all week!!

So I hit the gym first thing…

Did some gardening at lunch and after work..

But my planned walk with friends got rained out!!

• Wednesday – Today I started with a short run…

I decided on the HS track, did 90:45 intervals but again, it was too hot and humid to do more than 2 miles.

After work, I picked my bib/shirt for Saturday’s race…

Then I met my BFF for a mall walk.. before the thunderstorms kicked in.

• Thursday – Normal WFH day and almost 100 degrees. Too hot to leave the house…

but after work, our weekly trail run took place… we decided to walk it and get drinks afterwards.

• Friday- Back to the gym before work and mah jongg in the evening.

Another scorcher of a day… tried trimming bushes at lunch… and almost died. LOL

• Saturday – Firecracker 4.

A very fun 4 mile race that I try to run each year…

This year with all my foot issues, I used the term “run” very loosely. Besides it was warm and very humid.

I planned to cross the finish line with minimal pain and go out to brunch after.

And that’s exactly what happened…

• Sunday – My hubby and I are planning to participate in the Lake George Hike-a-thon, hang out on the lake after and then go to friends for dinner..

This Coming Week on the Run –

• Monday – DAY OFF – hike
• Tuesday – gym, walk
• Wednesday – run? walk with BFF
• Thursday – trail run/walk 
• Friday- gym, mah jongg
• Saturday –Boilermaker 15k, Long Run and Brunch
• Sunday – gym, boating

This Coming Week on the Blog –

• Tuesday – Firecracker 4 Race Recap
• Friday – 5 Wins From The First Half Of The Year

Happy Running! Training for any big or small races?  Is it finally feeling like summer where you live? Are you patient when you shouldn’t run?  Any fun plans for July 4th? Please share.
