HAPPY JULY! I am baaaaack y’all! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was long and luxurious!! And much needed.
I also got my miles in during my vacation/staycation! Big shocker there. Are any of you surprised?
Oh how I miss Heather Dubrow. She was my favorite Beverly Hills housewife.
So let’s recap and see how it all went down!
Monday AM- 6.05 miles with my running buddy Kev. Gotta love running friends that just love to run with you at odd times of the morning. This heat has been no joke so I am loving the early morning breeze before that sun comes out blazin. We’ve had nonstop triple digit temps so I’ll take any bit of breeze I can get at this point.
Monday PM- 4.12 miles in the evening…watching the sunset after the gym.
Tuesday AM- 8.22 miles of hills, back with the run club. Actually I was kind of dreading all of those hills post Stars Above Run but I got through it.
Tuesday PM- 3.22 miles at lunchtime…before it got way too hot.
Wednesday- 10.07 miles before hitting up the pool on my day off. Felt good to get it in.
Thursday- Another day off from work…loving my staycation. 6.03 miles at lunch. WAY TOO HOT. I am pretty sure it was above 90 degrees by noon time. Lots of ice cold beverages were consumed on this day.
Friday- Run streak week! I got up early with Kevin again and he did a few miles with me then I finished up on my own. 10.32 miles done. I kind of wish I had every Friday off. Wouldn’t that be lovely.
Saturday AM- 16.16 mile long run with WRRC. Hot and humid. Loving these blooms at the end of my route.
Saturday PM- Just hitting some numbers before the end of the month! 4.12 miles dunski. I think I’m going to start back up with these summer night runs on weekends. I kind of love it.
Sunday- 7.23 miles enjoying some peace and quiet. Had some marvelous brunch afterwards with mama. Everything is better with mimosas.
Plus I was able to get in a total of 324 miles in the month of June. Stella’s got her groove back, baby.
And there you have it!
How was your weekend? Did you partake in any delicious brunch or mimosas? Tell me about it!
We went to this place called Tupelo Honey and had chicken, greens, mac n cheese. Heaven.

Unfortunately, no brunch for me. You know brunching is my thing, but I just was not feeling it. I cook some eggs and grits and made “southern” style sweet tea with vodka, so I guess that I had a bootleg brunch.
Bootleg brunch I can get down with!! I’m going to head to your blog and catch up in a bit. 🙂
It may be a little depressing.
What?! Never!! You are always a “ray of sunshine” to me. 🙂 🙂 I was actually with you in spirit while you were on your tropical vacay. lol
I partook in some awesome lunch!
LOL, well that’s good! Have a great week!
You too!
You got a LOT of miles in this week! Good to hear from you again! 🙂
Thanks Laurie! Have a phenomenal week!!
Hi! Is there a reason why you run twice a day? Is it part of your training or is it just because you love running that much? If it’s training, what’s the benefit of the double workout?
All of the above! Training for ultras you need to get used to running on tired legs. Also I’ve done a post on this very topic (another huge shocker I am sure!) Check it out! Have a great day and happy training! https://thedancingrunner.com/2017/01/17/benefits-of-increasing-your-running-volume/
Thanks for the link! I’ll definitely check it out. Running on tired legs is something I definitely need to work on!
You’re so welcome!!
