Weekend Workouts - July 28

[sadlebred]

What did everyone do this weekend?

[sadlebred]

Friday: off
Sat.: Ebike at a charity ride

Sunday: Ebike

Cyclists, like runners, LOVE to do events for charity. I can't count the number of Ride for This Cause we have in the region--most weekends there is one within a 3-4 hour drive and often 1-2 hours. I only do, maybe, 2/year, but they are fun! When someone is trying to run me over on the road, I don't know if they are aware of how much I've helped raise for charities over the years.

Friday: 1 hour peddle-boat trip across Lac Annecy (France)
Saturday : 5 mile run across an international border (Swiss/French)
Sunday: 90+ minute hike in the Alps

I’m having an amazing vacation!! I haven’t kept up with my marathon plan but we’ve been so active I think it’s fine (I’m averaging 20k steps a day) 😊

This---just this. I am so jealous (in that really happy way). Although it would have to be a bike ride. Sounds like so much fun!

Fri:  3.2 mi run
Sat:  rest
Sun:  10 mi run

Today is 2 weeks since shingles symptoms appeared, and I've run every mile on the calendar in that time.  There were some really hard days, but I didn't want to fall behind on marathon training.  Having mostly made it through, I did what every reasonable runner does:  new shoe day reward  I switched from Ghosts to Glycerins with my last pair and liked them, so I got a 2nd pair of Glycerins to rotate in.

scm1011, I can't wait to hear more about your trip when you are back!  It's a bucket list item of mine to visit a German speaking country (because that's the language I learned many years ago and would love to have a chance to brush up and actually use it).  I've been leaning toward parts of Austria/Switzerland that are German speaking vs. Germany, but have not done much real planning yet.

Fri and Sat: 25 min walks each day (@ DS's out of town baseball tournament all weekend @)
Sun: 17 mile outdoor bike

[brooke77]

Fri: 7 mile run
Sat: rest
Sun: 14 mile run

Sunday was a bit cooler (70s), so that run felt better than Fridays (80s), even though it was twice as long.
