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!

Self-care always felt like something I’d start “wh Self-care always felt like something I’d start “when life slows down.”
So… never. 👀

I wanted something simple, personalized, and actually doable, not a 47-step routine I’d abandon in two days. That’s why I started using Mochi Health for skincare + wellness support, and it’s been one small thing that makes me feel more put together (even when I’m not).

If you’ve been wanting to get your skin and wellness together without overthinking it, I shared more in the reel. Link in bio for $40 off your first month.

San Diego snaps. 📸 Did you know Disney makes it San Diego snaps. 📸 

Did you know Disney makes it SO easy to fly into San Diego for a @disneycruiseline vaca? 🚢 (ad)

Let’s break it down :
1.) Flew into the San Diego airport
2.) Took a Lyft to @grandhyattsandiego which is super close by
3.) Walked right downstairs for dinner @seaport_village 
4.) The next morning you walk downstairs to a special table in the lobby to check in with DCL, show your passport, be extra luggage tags etc.
5.) Leave your luggage at the door of your hotel room. They will collect it and put it on the bus for you. 
6.) Meet downstairs at your designated time and board the bus
7.) Super short 5 min ride to the port on the Disney bus
8.) They handle your luggage, you just get on the ship! 🚢 

It was so nice having everyone nearby and coordinated for us! I highly recommend arriving a day before your cruise anyway if you are flying, and Disney made it seamless. 
Note that right now, the Grand Hyatt is the only San Diego area hotel that has the service of the Disney bus transportation to the port. 

Know what’s even more seamless? Having an agent from @bestdayevervacay plan all of this for you at no additional cost! Click the link in my bio and you can get a free, no obligation quote and start planning your magical vacation!

We just set sail on the Disney Wonder for a magical 3 night west coast sailing! But the fun won’t stop when we disembark, we will be continuing the trip to Disneyland so don’t go anywhere! All the fun is happening right now in my stories! (And saved to a highlight if you miss some!)

A huge thanks to Disney and @bestdayevervacay for making this possible and sending us on this trip! ✨

Behind every beach day, every poolside moment, eve Behind every beach day, every poolside moment, every bit of Disney magic, photoshoot, late night, and smiling photo, there are hours of work, rejection emails, a few missteps, and a lot of learning. 

Grateful for every single step of the journey, even the hard ones. ✨

#ad Turns out my patio didn’t need a full makeover #ad Turns out my patio didn’t need a full makeover… it just needed the right planters 🌿 

I walked into @loweshomeimprovement (garden center = instant mood boost) and found these allen + roth & planters that look designer but are actually budget-friendly. Exactly the kind of upgrade I love: big impact without the big price tag. 

Swipe to see the before → after because WOW. New planters + fresh plants completely brought this space back to life. I love how versatile they are too, perfect for patios, porches, or even indoors. If your outdoor space is looking a little… tired (same 😅), this is your sign to refresh it for spring. 

Grab them in-store at Lowe’s or through the link in my bio 🔗
