Notes:
I got to swim this week, yay! It felt good to be back in the pool, even though it took me a while to get used to breathing in the water again.
It was a treat to have cool temps on the weekend! Oddly, those were my worst runs of the week. I completely bonked a 4 miler and quit at 3.6 (huh?) and had a bathroom emergency during my long run on Sunday. Eh. Sh*t happens. Heh.

Notes:
During Tuesday’s run, I felt light on my feet, like I was getting my pep back. That feeling continued for most of the week – yay!
It’s been fun to train one-on-one again. There’s a lot more I can do when I am only training one person (due to space, amount of equipment, and that I am only watching them).
The pool opens back up today! I am looking forward to swimming next Friday.
My schedule is all over the place next week. I hope I can still get my normal amount of workouts in during the week and don’t save it all for the weekend.

Notes:
My butt was sore on my Monday ride! That is what I get for taking a month off of cycling!
My chest feels so swollen when I run in the afternoons lately. Me no likey. I’ve felt so achy and stiff this week, in general. Blah. I need to make this month’s massage appointment, and get back to the pool (it reopens in five days!).
Starting Thursday, we had four days of windy, overcast, low dew point and low humidity weather. It was a lovely treat!
I realized this week that my watch can control the music on my phone. Cool!
Have any other g-map pedometer users been having issues? I like to map my routes to check mileage, and the routes aren’t “snapping” properly anymore. I see someone wrote about it in their forum, but I can’t get their forum to load!
… have frequent meaningful interactions with loved ones
… have a furbaby in my life
… move every day, and workout six days a week
… eat a mostly healthy diet, and not too much food
… get enough sleep
… feel productive at home (and ideally, productive and meaningful at work)
What’s on your list?
This post is brought to you by someone asking me (not meanly… I think?) why I want to run forty miles a week if I am not training for anything. My answer to them – stress management. And it makes me feel my best!
I used to be that person wondering about people who ran often and never raced. When I first started running, I knew of some people who ran five miles a week… just for exercise! I remember thinking “why don’t they do a 5K? They can already run farther than that!!!” Ha, I was young, a new runner, and did not get the allure of exercise to feel good and manage stress. I obviously get that now!
Highlight of the Week: Doing speedwork! Riding my bike! Rainy runs!
Monday | August 27, 2018: 4 m run + teaching strength class Loc: hood, Temp: 80°/79°, Time: 41:24, Pace: 10:20 avg, Difficulty: medium, Felt: miserable, then better when I picked up the pace

Notes:
As of my Monday run, I’m officially sick of hot weather. It was in the low 80s with whatever high humidity and high dew point when I started my run (at 5:30 am), and just BLAH. I’m grateful we haven’t had many more mornings like that (I know lots of people have that more often), but I don’t think I have the mental capacity to ignore it anymore.
Wednesday’s run was much more enjoyable – cloudy/moody and rainy! As long as I have my visor for a rainy run (and it’s not a downpour), I’m happy!
During Thursday’s run I chatted with a neighbor that I haven’t before! She was so sweet, telling me to be safe and offering for me to cut through her yard whenever I want.
Part of the reason she was telling me to be safe was because they are repaving the two-lane highway we live off of. I’m SO EXCITED for our road to be repaved. It’s the road I spent the most time running on, and it would be a dream to have paved shoulders and not have to run on the rocks anymore.
I taught strength class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and whoa that wore me out! I felt like a pile of bricks each morning after. I also did a one-on-one session this week, for the first time in almost three years.
I hit my 200th run of the year on Sunday!
My pool posted pictures of the “annual” maintenance they are doing which made me understand why it’s taking an entire month – it looks like they are doing a lot more than annual maintenance!
I remembered the tidbit my RTT post ate – it was about my watch. It usually bugs me that it buzzes when it disconnects and reconnects to my phone, but on Monday night it saved me some hassle – I was about to leave the studio when it buzzed that it was disconnected – I had left my phone inside!
Monthly recap! In August I ran 108.3 miles (21 runs), cycled 0 miles (eek) and swam 3,277 yards (3 swims). My coldest run was 63°F and my warmest was 89°F. I taught 9 strength classes,1 fitness boxing class, did 1 one-on-one session, and attended the Efit Games. I ran in my most states per month in August – five! August was a crummy month for me, workout-wise, and I feel it. September will be better!
Monday | August 20, 2018:6.55 m run + teaching strength class Loc: VP Woods Loop, Temp: 73°/73°, Time: 1:10:25, Pace: 10:45 avg, Difficulty: medium, Felt: decent
Strength: BOSUs, Felt: good Tuesday | August 21, 2018: 5 m run Loc: hood, Temp: 68°/69°, Time: 53:02, Pace: 10:36 avg, Difficulty: easy, Felt: good Wednesday | August 22, 2018: rest Thursday | August 23, 2018: massage Friday | August 24, 2018: teaching strength class + 3 m run + 1,000 m swim Strength: Dumbells & core/cardio, Felt: good
Loc: Grayslake, Temp: 63°/64°, Time: 29:07, Pace: 9:41, Difficulty: easy, Felt: good
Loc: Grayslake Pool, Air Temp: 64°/62°, Time: 19:57, Pace: 2:00 min/100 m, Difficulty: easy, Felt: good Saturday | August 25, 2018: 3 m run Loc: Line Creek Trail, Temp: 80°/83°, Time: 30:55, Pace: 10:18 avg, Difficulty: easy, Felt: good Sunday | August 26, 2018: rest
Notes:
Monday night’s strength workout was fun! We used BOSUs, which I usually use with a weight, but this time I used them as the weight (and on the floor from time to time), and thought it was fun to do something different. Hopefully my workouts don’t feel as repetitive to my students as they sometimes do to me. I try to freshen things up without making crazy complicated moves, but I feel stale sometimes.
Swimming in the outdoor pool is so much more enjoyable than indoor! Unfortunately, I swam in it on the last day it’s open for the season, and the indoor pool I go to is still closed until September 15.
We traveled to Kansas City this weekend, and I chose sleep over getting longer workouts in. I’m looking forward to being home more in September, and working out more. I feel off when I don’t. (But am grateful for anything I get in!)
Monday | August 13, 2018: 3 m run + teaching strength class Loc: hood, Temp: 82°/82°, Time: 29:51, Pace: 9:56 avg, Difficulty: medium, Felt: creaky

Loc: Rollins Savanna, Temp: 67°/68°, Time: 44:22, Pace: 12:38, Difficulty: easy, Felt: good Saturday | August 18, 2018: Madison Mini Marathon (w/Rachel) Loc: Madison, Temp: 62°/68°, Time: 2:20:50, Pace: 10:45 avg, Difficulty: easy, Felt: good Sunday | August 19, 2018: rest
Notes:
My pool closed on the 15th, for a whole month, for annual maintenance. A month seems like a long time! Maybe they will open it back up early – fingers crossed!
I was in work training Tuesday and Wednesday and didn’t make the time (by getting up at 3:30 am) to run those two days so… I felt very happy when I could finally run again on Thursday! Especially after sitting for two full days!
It was a treat to have Anne come to my class on Friday and to run together after. I miss her coming each Friday (she did before she moved).
And it was a treat to do the half with Rachel on Saturday! Lucky me, running with friends two days in a row!
I should have worked out on Sunday. I wasn’t sore from the race. I was just being lazy. Sigh. I am not doing a good job of getting my workouts in this month! I foresee another crap week coming up (travel), then hopefully I get my act together! I’m not training for anything, but I feel super blah.
Rachel and I were hemming and hawing about what to do to celebrate our summer birthdays and decided to go back to our roots (the day we met, we ran 31 miles together), and run a half marathon!
Rachel lives near Madison, has done the Mini-Marathon before and liked it, and it was the day after her birthday. Perfect!
We signed up, and I did NO research about the race, beyond looking up packet pickup times on Friday night, and what time the race started. Rachel knew where to go to get our packets, and where the race started, and that was all I needed to know. Ha, I didn’t know where the course went, if it was hilly, what the aid stations were like, or even what the weather was going to be like (until I woke up that morning).
All that is not to make me sound like an unprepared a-hole, just to point out that beyond crucial logistics (how do I get my bib, where do I go) I didn’t really care about the details because I was just there to have fun running and chatting with Rachel!
And we did! As we do!
We stayed at a hotel near race start and got in to our (surprisingly not filled-yet) corral ten minutes before the start. We ran in to two people Rachel knew walking to the start, which was fun (and a theme of the day)! They had a local a capella men’s group do a beautiful rendition of the national anthem, and we were off, at 7:00 am. It was sunny, 62°, with 100% humidity, and a dew point of 62° when we started. Really, NOT bad for August!
We started by running up an incline toward the capitol building – which is a view I enjoy! – then ran around downtown, through parts of the arboretum, around campus, and toward the lake. Again… I didn’t pay much attention to the course map (I did look for different Buckys on Parade though, you can see one in the photo with us wearing our medals below!)!
We wore “birthday princess” sashes and crowns, cause why not? And that ended up being A LOT of fun – we got so many “happy birthdays!” a lot of “is it really your birthday?” (um… yeah, close enough) and several “is it really both of your birthdays?!” (yes, sure… we’re both Leos?). The crown didn’t move at all, and once I was covered in sweat (by mile .5) the sash stuck to my shoulder perfectly. Ha.
It WAS definitely humid. I could see it in how soaked everyone was (and not just from the sprinklers)! And feel it in my socks! But whatever. It’s August. I felt great, minus needing a bathroom stop in the middle of the race (and feeling like I pulled a chest muscle wiping, what the heck, Kim). And it actually became overcast during the end of the run! Which was AMAZING, and helped us finish strong! When we finished, it was 68°, with 93% humidity, with a dew point of 68°. We finished in 2:20:50 (with our last two miles being the fastest). I was thinking we’d finish around 2:20!
And we did just chat and catch up the whole time! I think Rachel said someone asked her why we didn’t sign up for the 5K (because we hadn’t been specifically training for a half). Well, there is a lot less talk time during a 5K, silly! This is what Rachel and I do – run and talk! And I loved it! We kept saying how nice it was to be doing a race for fun, with no pressure, and no care if it was hot, or we needed to run slower, or walk through water stations or whatever. Not to imply we are always going for fast times and PRs – we aren’t. We know how to have fun – I guess we just like to talk about how grateful we are for it. So, yay! This was the third race I’ve run with Rachel this year! If we don’t fit another in, I know we’ll for sure be meeting for some runs.
A few other thoughts!
Rachel saw so many people she knew – before, during, and after the race. Fun!
I had my first post race beer ever, at the post-race party! (I drank about half of it, ha)
The race had free photos AND had them up within several hours. How cool is that?
There were SO many aid stations (sometimes, two within what seemed like a mile) and they had fun themes. I enjoyed that. We walked through most of them. (I also enjoyed that)
The course seemed really flat for Madison.
I love the race shirt!
I actually got a few things at the expo for once. And the expo was super simple to get in and out of, yay.
I definitely thought the race was well organized, and fun. I’d recommend it! Just make sure you get the overcast finish if you run it!
This ended up being more about weight than I expected, so skip if that’s something you try to avoid reading about.
It’s been almost two months since I wrote that I was considering running the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon the first weekend of October. I can now say that definitely WON’T be happening. I’ve been running a decent amount this summer, averaging just under 40 miles a week, but my nutrition is off! I’ve put on some summer weight, and since I’d like to weigh less than I did to run a marathon than when I wrote that post two months ago, that means I have some diet* work to do!
I’m not super discouraged I’ve gained weight. My yo-yo cycle usually has me gaining weight from May until October each year (and losing from October until February). So that I only ate somewhat poorly for two months (June and July) is an improvement for me. How’s that for a positive spin? And maybe I will do even better next year! <— I am really good at going easy on myself.
So what’s coming up with running? I’m signed up for the Madison Mini Marathon (a half) this Saturday, and the Gear Western Country Half Marathon in Long Lake, MN on October 13th. Both races will be run “for fun” with no time goal. I’m not focusing on speed right now – I’m just running easy summer miles! So not short races for me!
Speaking of (hot) summer miles – I was talking to a friend who works at a school last night and she said she’s ready for summer weather to be over when she goes back to work. I told her I’m always ready for it to be over after my birthday (last day of July)/river trip. So August usually feels pretty miserable to me – I’m so over it by then! I’m handling it well this year (mostly by ignoring it and not dwelling on it, a great way to handle any problem, ha) but I do fantasize a bit about fall running when I see leaves on the ground!
When I say the word “diet,” I mean “what I eat.” I am not “going on a diet.” I don’t do that.
I had big plans for this weekend! Plans of doing ALL THE EXERCISE!!! Steven was out of town with his fraternity brothers, and I imagined myself filling free moments with running, biking, AND swimming.
But two things happened.
First, I had a headache most of Saturday. One that felt like it could turn in to a migraine. So after I finished work and errands for the day, I needed to take a nap – NOT spend time in the sun on my bike, or with goggles on my head in the water. Ugh.
SECOND! And this is a nice surprise – I want to spend as much time with the kittens as possible. Well, that part is NOT the surprise. The surprise is that having them is really making me want to slooooooooooow down. I hate having my schedule filled with back-to-back-to-back things and being busy, but I do tend to do that to myself. With the kittens though, I keep thinking about how they’ll only be little for so long, and I want to absorb all of it! Plus, this weekend, with Steven gone, if I left, I would put them in the guest bedroom, and I want them to be able to roam the house! So, yeah – another mostly chill weekend!
FRIDAY!
On Friday I ate an early dinner and ran after. Then spent forever on the phone with Starbucks to find out why someone didn’t receive an e-giftcard I sent them the day before. If YOU ever have this problem, call this number – 877-496-3731 – NOT the number on their website. Sigh, it took forever just to get that info (then they fixed it immediately, thankfully!).
I also did the fun task of going through old cards, letters, and postcards, and deciding which ones to keep, which to recycle, and which to scan. The use of the word “fun” is not sarcasm – this was FUN for me. Although it made me a bit sad, as some of the correspondence was three years old (oops, need to do this more often), and it made me think about how some people were doing better back then.
SATURDAY!
I woke up in the middle of the night with a headache and took medicine. Then woke up with a headache and took more. Then went on a run to see if that helped. Nope.
So I went to the Efit Games and felt bad to have a grimace on my face from time to time from my head pain. I didn’t want to be whiny about it, but I did let people know that was why I was feeling that way so they wouldn’t think I was just making a b*tchy face!
Efit trainers!
I wanted to go home and sleep right after, but I had scheduled Walmart Grocery pick-up. Sigh. Trying to be efficient bit me in the butt.
I still got a lot done that morning (see above where I mentioned back-to-back-to-back stupidity):
Got gas
Dropped off dry-cleaning
Did Walmart pick-up
Went to
Target
Bath & Body Works (I had free item coupons and got some birthday gifts)
I bet you can’t tell what my favorite scent is!
Aldi
Okay, I got Starbucks too, hoping the caffeine would help my headache!
Traffic was a bit nutso. It seems like the county/cities are rushing to get road work finished before school starts or something, and LOTS of roads were under construction. Getting to Aldi was particularly annoying, as I got off one street because of construction, then the street I went to was randomly closed for a festival (???), then the only street left to take was under construction. Sigh. More headache medicine.
I was so happy to finally get home, put away groceries, make lunch, finish watching 17 Again, then take a nap.
Then it was another quiet night! I wrapped some gifts,
watched 50 Shades Freed (How could this movie be SOOO bad?! Oh! Because the source material is!!! Ha!), played with the kitties, saw a cat that looked JUST LIKE SNOW in the backyard (and felt sad), took Data outside to see how he liked that (he did), then tried to go to bed.
I heard horrible screaming from the guest bedroom after I put the kitties in there, and opened the door to tell them to chill out, and saw that Apollo was all tangled up in a cord and was being choked. I worked as fast as I could to untangle him, thinking I would have to run for scissors, but I was able to get him out.
Photo from calmer times the day before
I felt horrible, and spent too long thinking about how bad that would have been had I not been home to hear him. I put away all the corded toys and made sure the toys left out seemed “safe,” then talked out loud to myself telling myself not to waste time thinking about “what if” or to feel guilty, but that didn’t really work.
I tried to shift my mind to positive thoughts, like the beach vacation my parents and snis and her family are on, and that sort of helped, but I just felt sh*tty. I called my snis and was able to fall asleep (much later than I wanted) after talking to her about it.
SUNDAY!
I imagined I would sleep in Sunday but the cats had other plans! I woke up to what sounded like water running and felt super confused as I was the only one home. Oh. That was Data having a major poop accident in the bathroom. Sigh. Poor guy.
So early Sunday morning was spent on cat cleanup and feeding and playing duty. I also did some laundry, tidied up, and prepped produce for the week.
Then ran.
Then cleaned some more when I got back. And made lunch and tried to watch The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society on Netflix, but silly me, it was Crazy Kitty Time, and I couldn’t focus!
Watching Apollo be crazy
So we played for a bit, I cleaned some more, did some more laundry (CHORES!!!!!!!!!) then made this banana cake recipe, AGAIN, this time in cupcake form. This is my third time making this recipe and it’s delish. See upcoming Tuesday post about how I have gained weight this summer, muah ha ha.
Watching for Daddy to get home
Steven got home in the late afternoon and I spent the rest of the evening chatting with him about his trip, doing a few more chores, and watching that Netflix movie! I enjoyed the movie. I heard about it at the library, because they had a copy of the book and it said something on the cover about being a movie on Netflix. I picked the book up to see if I wanted to read it, but when I saw it was all back-and-forth letters, the format turned me off! I wonder if they ever actually get together (face-to-face) in the book (like they do in the movie). I am guessing the movie might have changed a few things (to make it watchable!).
There was some Crazy Kitty Time during the second attempt to watch the movie, too. Khali wants to be in on the action too (by observing and swatting from time to time), which makes me glad. It feels like she is spending more time around us now that the kittens are here.
Hi! I'm Kim, a 34-year-old living in Chicagoland with my husband, Steven, and our cats, Khali, Apollo, and Starbuck.
