The weather was the biggest challenge this past week. DC was under a heat advisory much of the week, with high temps and high humidity. It was terrible. I had a couple of really rough runs but then was able to move on, because that’s simply what you have to do to make it through training!

Totally with you about the weather this week – it was pretty much the same in CT. I think if the humidity was lower, it would be bearable, but the damn humidity is just relentless this summer!
Great job on Tuesday’s run. You really had to dig deep to go back on the treadmill and that’s what training is all about!
Girl.The struggle was so very real. LOL.
Great job this week! Your acai bowl looks soo good!
Hope you have a wonderful time at bird camp! My NE friends just had their’s a few weeks ago and it looked like a great time!
Thanks – camp is going to be great. I’m also one of the camp planners so it will be great + no more planning, lol!
The weather was nasty this week! Nice job getting it done.
Yes – that is an accurate statement 😉
Yeah, I feel like anything above a super-easy run is ridiculously hard and wipes you out after. But you got it done! 8 miles at race pace, 10 for the day–awesome job! I also give you tons of credit for doing a double run Saturday in this crazy weather!

Thanks – I love that Saturday night race even though it’s always hot! So excited that marathon training starts for you this week! 🙂
Congrats on a great week and the long run and tempo run, plus getting back on the treadmill for the workout! I feel like hotel treadmill workouts are the worst- not only is it a treadmill workout and a mental battle, but you don’t know the quality of the treadmill and typically hotel gyms are stuffy. I’m glad you were able to stick with training while travelling and that shows your devotion to the plan. It’s a tough one but Hansons works!
Yes – I know that the treadmill is terrible for me in part because I use it so infrequently but man oh man that was hard!
Fantastic job especially in the heat and humidity! Way to come back and finish that treadmill workout. Treadmill runs are so much more tougher. Sounds like a fun weekend ahead!
This past week was just brutal. My runs last week were all challenging, and I was so glad to see the week come to an end. Hopefully the weather this week will be much more runner friendly.

This morning was cooler but very humid again. Honestly, the weather is gonna be what it’s gonna be. I’m not expecting better temps for the next month or so…at least the weather won’t be like this on race day!
5×1000’s? I didn’t even know that was a thing! You’re doing a great job…but can we get this hot and humid weather to take a hike? Geez, lol! Enjoy bird camp!

Ha – sadly it is very much a thing, but I’m happy that its a thing of the past for me now 🙂
Looks like a great week of training! Congrats! We’ve had really similar weather here in Boston. Hope you have a great week 🙂
Congrats on another great week of training and rocking the 8 mile tempo! As much as bad runs suck, they make us stronger too. 🙂 Have fun at camp! (Say hi to Becki and others for me!).
Of course – wish you were coming!!
Great week despite the heat! I did two today and about died. Have fun at camp, I’m bummed I’m missing it!
I saw you ran two – yay!!! We will miss you this weekend, lady! xx
OMG the weather was rough this week! You did a great job with your mileage!
