Week of August 7th through August 14th, 2022

Sunday, August 7th:

8 miles, in the hot afternoon.

***

Monday, August 8th:

8.5 miles, in the cool, yet somewhat humid, evening.


***

Tuesday, August 9th:

Dumbbell overhead presses (neutral grip), and dumbbell curls.

***

Wednesday, August 10th:

One hour on the elliptical.

Felt easy, but my knees were a bit wobbly afterwards. 

***

Thursday, August 11th:

8.5 miles. It felt super hot to me today, and the temperature said a high of 88. But everyone I talked to said "oh it isn't so hot." It felt so hot to me!

I delayed until late afternoon to get my run in, and still felt really parched by the end.


Later, I did a few inclined push-ups. Trying to get back to doing more bodyweight supplemental exercises. 

***

Friday, August 12th:

One hour on the elliptical. I have a bit of cumulative fatigue/ soreness today. I'll take it easy tomorrow. 

***

Saturday, August 13th:

A nice excursion to Woodland Park with the family for a short hike on the Lovell Gultch Trail.

The trail was lined with so many cool wildflowers and mushrooms! 🍄 



***

Sunday, August 14th:

8 miles at the park, 1000 feet elevation gain. I went after a little summer shower, so it wasn't as hot as it could have been at the outset. But the temperature returned to the 80s by the end of my run.

I'll try to do some light weights or bodyweight exercises this evening.

***

A nice summer week, although I had no major mountain trips or long runs this time around. Hopefully next week will be a big one!
