This Week in Workouts: Summer!

Run Outside- Michigan jogging trails

The Michigan weather has been wonderful this week and I have been able to take advantage of that with a few wonderful, albeit short, runs. Thankfully, that pesky plantar facialis has gotten itself cleared up and running is no longer a super big pain. Unfortunately though, not running for a week+ has made getting back in the groove a little more difficult. I ran through this and am now, pretty much, back up to the usual running distance and speed.

Good news! I have also been talking with a few of the runners we have at the Leadership Reunion (one of them being a Guinness Book of World Record holders for running) and have plenty of tips for marathoning and half-marathoning along with a great recommendation from marathon training that we will be talking all about in the future! For now though, let's get to those workouts...

Sunday: Sunday was quite busy here and ended up being a rest day with about 12,000+ steps added in.

Monday: That foot was still acting up so this was a fantastic yoga day centered around the bum. I ended up doing this Tara Stiles flow twice, one play-through for each side. This Tara Stiles Yoga Flow for Lean Legs was next.

Tuesday: My new favorite flow for runners by Lesley Fightmaster!

Wednesday: 2-mile slow run that felt quite nice!

Thursday: 3-mile trail run onto some of the camp's old horse riding trails. It was so fun to trail run through past areas the hubs knows so well! The picture above is also from that run :)

Friday: Rest day

Saturday: A 15-minute Squat-tastic Workout that will be on the blog later this week! Man, it is a doozy, but soooo good!

Weekly Workout Goal

We will be running more this week in general and this week will be my last time for a while to run during the Michigan Summer. For this reason, my big goal this week is to run at least three times and run 15-miles during the week!
