Sneaky Six o'Clock Speed!







I ran loop dee doops around my house and turned it into a speed workout

5 mile neighborhood run. 
MP3 player shit the bed. Negative splits. Really freaking humid!


A weird and lazy back workout at home.

It was pouring so I wasn't sure what I would do today. The rain let up for a few minutes and it looked like the sun was coming out, so I geared up for a run. It started to rain as soon as I left my house and the last half of my run was done it heavy downpour! It was super humid, but I ran loops around my neighborhood and got in 7 miles. My knee did not feel good so I stretched and foam rolled like crazy when I got home!

  1. Nice week of workouts! I love that you're running with your dad today. My dad had knee replacement surgery and hasn't been great about the PT required after so now he can barely walk let alone run. We've had a couple of storms but they've been at night. Supposed to be rainy possibly for my race on Sunday though.

    1. I am sorry to hear about your dad's knee. :( My dad got back into running after a cycling accident in which he broke his collar bone. He is all healed up now but sort of got into running instead of biking!

  2. Last night I met a friend for a 5 mile run and it rained. It felt good because it was so humid!
    Great job with the workouts! Enjoy your run!

  3. Have fun running w/ your dad today. No rainy runs but on Thursday morning it was only 49 degrees so I had to wear light weigh gloves. Not ready for cooler weather!!
