Weekend Workouts - Aug. 27

What did everyone do this weekend?

BQ: Are you melting from the heat yet?

[sadlebred]

Friday: Off
Saturday: 22 mile easy gravel ride. I co-lead an all levels women's gravel ride once/month.
Sunday: 38 mile gravel bike ride in the mountains w/plenty of climbing

BQ: Yes, I give up. We had 3 of our hottest days yet this summer with heat indexes upwards of 107F. We didn't quite reach 100F temps, but we were close today. Thankfully, I was in the mountains riding. It's usually 2-3 degrees cooler up there. Keep in mind that the N GA mountains are only at about 2500-3000 feet (minus Brasstown Bald, but you can't pay me to ride up it to the highest point in GA).

Friday: played with dogs
Saturday: couldn't stomach the idea of the alarm waking me up for the 12th day in a row. So I slept in and then took the doggy for a nice long walk, since it was much cooler out.
Sunday: 5 miles

BQ: the heat forced me back into the gym last week. the sun, even in the car with the AC blasting, made me warm. i'm over it. my dog didn't even want to go outside, which NEVER happens.

Fri: 60 min elliptical
Sat: 30 min spin session, 2.5 mile run
Sun: 35 min spin, 2.55 mile run

BQ: this is how you know the heat has made me batty - it’s ONLY supposed to be 97 this week and I legit celebrated tonight, lol. It hit 109 ACTUAL temp today 🥵😡 it’s not even comfortable inside anymore. Ughhh.

lilypad1126 That sounds like oppressive heat!!!!
laterz My AC broke earlier this week--thankfully it was out for only a day and a half. I sat in the car for relief!

Fri: 3 mile run and 30 min strength
Sat: 18 mile outdoor bike
Sun: 3 mile run and 25 min walk

BQ: It was really hot here last week. I hate being forced inside in the summer - that's what we do in winter.

F: 2 mile run
S: no workout, but I trained to be a Girls on the Run coach!
S: 6 mile run

BQ: It's been pretty cool in New England the last couple weeks so I can't complain. I hope the heat breaks for you all soon!

Sat: 18 mile run
Sun: 30 min Peloton

BQ: The heat is killing me. I woke up early for my long run on Saturday and it was already almost 80. Unfortunately, I have no other option because the treadmill is causing heel pain/PF. I’m just hydrating and slowing down.
