I think my runner card would be cut up if I didn’t first acknowledge the heat and humidity of last week’s workouts.  It was gross, swampy and excessive.
But I’m not complaining.
I may be struggling for air while a 9:30 pace feels like a sub 8, but I know that this is temporary. Running in October will feel sooo easy. At least that’s what I’m telling myself.

Tuesday
Morning Flow Yoga @ Bending Bodhi
45 minute trail run
With my reduced mileage in July, I barely hit the trails at all. I needed to remedy that quick so I took the time to hit the dirt and mud for 45 minutes of fun. It was much needed and very much enjoyed despite the shoe sucking mud and the mosquitoes. 5000 days of rain brings those suckers out.
Wednesday
5 mile run with Kyle
I’m really trying not to talk about how much the humidity sucks (whoops) so let’s talk about how freakin’ dark it is in the morning now. We had to wear headlamps. Headlamps in August. NOOOOO!!! While searching for my headlamp the night before our run, I realized mine is missing. I had to dig out Ron’s old headlamp from 2000. So outdated but at least there was some light.
Thursday
Morning Flow Yoga @ Bending Bodhi
I finally broke down and saw a Physical Therapist for my aching Plantar Fasciitis. This week my foot was so achy at work that I knew I needed the big guns aka Graston and Dry Needling to help ease the pain. I decided to see a new to me PT that was recommended by a friend. To be honest, I really switched because I wanted someone who did dry needling. I’m so glad I did because after one treatment, I noticed a HUGE difference. The good news is that I’m not really messed up too much. It seems my daily rolling and stretching sessions are doing something right. PT Matt seems to think I should be good in a short time and gave me full permission to carry on with running unless the pain gets worse. #PraiseBe

Saturday
5.3 mile run with Kyle
Kyle and I were so excited to try out Orangetheory for the first time. But then we got turned away because the class we chose was a 90 minute class that first timers aren’t allowed to do.
Womp.Womp.Womp.
When life hands you no Orangetheory class, you make the most of it and go for a run. Oh well. And did I mention it was ridiculously humid? It was.
We’ll be back Orangetheory!
Sunday
REST DAY!
I did a little too much jumping around and dancing at a karaoke bar on Saturday night to celebrate a friends birthday so my PF was talking to me Sunday morning. Instead, we hit the beach where it was so cold from the wind. Guess what was missing from the day? Humidity!
Humidity, #running, dry needling and an #Orangetheory fail for last week’s #workouts
