Catching Up Over July Coffee

Happy Friday! It’s time for another edition of Fit Five Friday and I’m linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date. So grab your fave beverage and let’s catch up!

Catching Up Over July Coffee

Over coffee, I would start by telling you that I’m still streaking. I logged 54.6 miles in June and I’m hoping to match or surpass that total this month if Mother Nature will cooperate!

And, speaking of the weather, over coffee I would ask if you’re also dealing with a heat wave? We’re currently on day 3 of what looks to be a 4-day stretch of temps in the high 90s with a heat index hovering around 104. Thankfully the forecast is showing a break starting Sunday.

Over coffee, I would tell you how much I’ve been enjoying running in the new Paramount Max. Saucony reached out with an offer to test the shoes ahead of their July launch. Funny enough I used to only run in Saucony years ago until one of their annual design updates of the Triumph didn’t work so well for me and I moved on. Well, I’m glad I gave this new design a go – I absolutely loved these shoes right out of the box and I haven’t run in anything else for the past month and a half.

Lastly, over coffee, I would tell you how much I’m looking forward to our family vacation at the end of the month. We’re heading to Nova Scotia and P.E.I. – can.not.wait!

Streaking Runfessions

June is quickly winding down and Marcia has once again opened the runfessional so for this week’s Fit Five Friday, I’ve got a couple of runfessions to share.

Streaking Runfessions

I’m on day 26 of the #StreakingwiththeCoolKids challenge, and I runfess that I’m pleasantly surprised by how good my legs have been feeling. The challenge is to run or walk a continuous mile daily and I think the additional walking miles between runs have been a bonus on the recovery front.

I also streak-fess that on the days my schedule hasn’t allowed for an early workout, I’ve learned to get creative to keep my streak alive – like walking multiple laps around the mall after stopping in to purchase a gift. It didn’t hurt that it was a scorching hot day and the mall was air-conditioned…yes my treadmill is still out of commision.

Lastly, I runfess that I’m aiming to carry this streak into July – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?

So tell me, any runfessions to share. Have your ever tried streaking?
