Week 19

Monday

Did: 60 min Soul Sculpt w/ Brionna

Whewww another good sculpt class with my favorite instructor. She does more arms than all the other instructors, which I appreciate. I do enough running that I don't feel the need for endless squats and lunges (although there are plenty of those, too), but it's well-balanced with upper body, plyo sets, and core. 

Tuesday

Did: 6.29 mi @ 9:31/mi + 60 min Power Flow w/ Karina

Got out before the street lights went off this morning, so thankfully it wasn't terribly hot & humid yet. Ended up being a slower run than it felt like, but I guess I'm still getting back some speed while building back mileage. Didn't walk at all, so it was a consistent run, and again pain free. :)

In the late afternoon, did a power flow session - my cousin (actually Scott's cousin, but whatever) who is visiting us this week joined me, which was fun! It was a tough session and I'm definitely still sore from Monday's sculpt class.

Wednesday

Did: 60 min Power Flow w/ Cesar + 9.6 mi bike ride

Ugh, I did not have the energy for early morning yoga today. I half-assed my way through it and enjoyed the calm stretchy parts but otherwise was counting down the minutes until it was done. Some days it's a nice way to wake up, other days it's a struggle. I did manage a decent side crow though.

Later in the evening we did a group bike ride down to Gather GVL for dinner - it was a fun ride down the SRT.

Thursday

Did: 60 min Soul Sculpt w/ Brionna

Good tough class, lots of other stress going on so couldn't mentally get into it.

Friday

Did: 4.83 mi hiking in 2hr 19min

Had a girls' weekend that included lots of hiking! We did two hikes on Friday at Peaks of Otter: Fallingwater Cascades loop (1.5 miles) and Harkening Hill loop (3.3 miles). HH was really tough to climb, about 1,400 feet of elevation, but the view from the top was worth it!

Saturday

Did: 10.16 mi hiking in 6hr 08min

This was a long day, but man it was an adventure and I loved it! It was a loop + out-and-back section on the Appalachian Trail. Made me want to get back into backpacking... might happen someday. :) It was crazy rocky in some places, we had to scramble up rock faces and were rewarded with amazing views. 

Sunday

Did: rest
