Last week’s workouts had me feeling a little bit of a spark that’s been missing in the past month. My plantar fasciitis is improving (a lot!) and the humidity has decreased. Things are looking up! So much so that I started to think that I might actually be able to run some of the races I have my eye on this fall. I don’t want to jinx anything but there’s hope!
Monday
3.2 mile run
It was a rainy and super dark morning. I had planned on running more but I took my sweet time getting ready because it was so dark. I’m not ready for that! I squeezed in 3.2 before having to head home to get ready for work.

Wednesday
5.3 mile run, 2 mega hill repeats with Kyle
I could tell it was a long time since I’ve done the mega hill repeats. I decided to not push too much and only ran half way up the hill and walked the rest to hopefully keep my PF happy. Btw – Kyle ran the 10k mountain race at Killington on Saturday and got first in her age group. Way to go, girl!
With photos like this, it’s a wonder I can get anyone to run with me.

Cable tricep ext

Friday
Rest day
Saturday
6 mile run
This was my longest run in over a month. At first, it made me sad that I considered 6 miles a “long” run. A month ago, 6 miles was an average daily run. I’ve been babying my PF and decreased my weekly mileage big time. With lower humidity and a temp of 54 degrees (what?!?!) I was feeling pretty good. And my PF played nice too. It was a little sore afterwards but I stretched and iced it with my foot roller. By the afternoon, it was all good. It even felt decent despite wearing non supportive shoes to a wedding that night. Woohoo!
Sunday
I was solo parenting on Sunday but still wanted to get some kind of workout in. The kids wanted to go to the park so I combined the two. I even got the kids to join in for parts of it. The above pic was after the workout so clearly you can tell they loved it!
Who says you need a gym to get in a quality workout!
