Weekly Workout Recap July 2013: Week 5

August 4, 2013 | fitness, running

Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend. We have had a great one so far, and Bobby and I are doing our long run today since we didn’t get a chance to do it yesterday, so this weeks stats don’t look quite as good with our run technically being “next week”.

My knee still bothers me after I run and stays sore, but it’s not unbearable, just tight. I continue to foam roll but have been slacking on my strengthening exercises.

I have been doing very well with my eating this week, except when I made homemade sugar cookies and icing….I may have had a few.

Sunday: rest

Monday: 6 miles

Tuesday: 45 minutes elliptical, upper body weights

Wednesday: rest

Thursday: 3 miles

Friday: 30 minutes stationary bike

Saturday: rest (long run Sunday instead)

This coming weekend we will do our longest long run of 13 miles, then start tapering for the Dumbo Double Dare in Disneyland!

QOTD: Do you always long run on the same day of the week?

    I usually do mine on Saturdays but if me or my husband has to work them it gets bumped to Sunday.

    I always do long runs Saturday but now that we moved I’m finding all the running groups here to long runs early on Sundays… so I might switch to have buddies to run with, we’ll see. Great week!

    My training plan has them on Sundays which has worked best for me so far.

    I long run on Saturday most of the time. I work one Saturday out of the month and have to punt my long run to a different day that week. This usually leads to a run that isn’t the best because my legs aren’t 100% recovered, but at least I get it in!

    I like to do my long runs on Saturdays, it allows me to rest and relax as needed on Sunday! This Saturday I volunteered at the IronKids triathlon all day and had to move my run to today. It worked!

  7. Tara@PNWRunner says

    I don’t really have a running plan. My runs depend on how I feel. If I feel like running 10-13 miles I will. It just depends on the day and the heat too!

One of my favorite time (and money) savers? Grabbing a gift card at Kroger for one of our favorite spots (Zaxby’s for us!) and clipping the digital coupon for 4X fuel points. 

That means dinner is DONE and I’m saving at the pump. Total win-win! 👏🏼 These gift cards are also perfect for teacher gifts, last-minute summer outings, or a first-day celebration meal. Smart moms know — gift cards give back 💡

BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 I drove the same Toyota 4Ru BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 

I drove the same Toyota 4Runner for 14 1/2 years. Last October, we got a good deal on a Highlander platinum with 10,000 miles on it from @foxtoyota. 

The only problem is, I wanted the Grand Highlander platinum, because it has way more cargo room, legroom, and some other features that the regular Highlander doesn’t have. I thought that’s what we were getting, but it wasn’t available and we ended up with the regular Highlander, which don’t get me wrong, I was very grateful for after driving the same car for so long.

However, as the months went on, the differences were very noticeable, especially with how much we travel and the lack of space. Without me knowing, Bobby had been doing research and working with the wonderful folks at Fox, and was able to find us a brand new Grand Highlander platinum. 

He had hoped it would arrive for my birthday, but it was a couple weeks late, which was totally worth it. He’s usually really bad at surprising me (my 40th birthday party a couple weeks ago was supposed to be a surprise, but I found out.) so I was truly in shock and speechless when I came home and this new car, which we named Ruby, was in the garage!

@bobbymontg may not be the most romantic guy, but he shows his love in ways that he knows I appreciate. Best birthday gift ever! 🩷

While grabbing a few things at Walgreens, I picked up a Kohl’s gift card and turned it into the cutest teacher gift — a mason jar wrapped in ribbon, full of pencils with a tag that says “This year is going to be on point.” 🎯 

It’s simple, thoughtful, and super practical — because who doesn’t love a gift they can actually use? 

Walgreens makes it so easy to grab @incommpayments gift cards for everyone on your back-to-school list — from teachers to even yourself (because let’s be real, moms need a win too 😉).
