Well we have had a mixture of heat and stormy weather this week. On Monday I did a weight workout. It was hot. Wednesday was suppose to be a 3.5 mile run but the temperature was 96 with a heat index of 106. We decided not to go which was good because it ended up storming so we would have...

It's been hot here too. Upper 90's with heat indexes in the 100's. It will be a bit cooler this coming week. On Saturday I did some running mixed in with rope slams and some kettlebell work. This morning was a 8 mile run. When we finished at a little after 8am in was already in the 80's...

Just checking in. Last night was a 3.5 mile run. We cut it short because it was starting to look like rain. It was hot but a bit breezy. We got home before the rain hit. Tonight will be a cardio/strength workout. Hope you guys are doing well and having a great week!

Happy Monday! I had a nice weekend but it went by so fast. Looking forward to my vacation at the end of August! We had a great time at the race on Saturday morning. The 3 of us all took home trophies. Jean and I finished 2nd and 3rd in our age groups. My time was over a minute better than...

TGIF! I'm back in the groove with my workouts. Did a weight workout on Monday, ran 3.5 miles on Wednesday (95 degrees with a heat index that felt like 99), and did a cardio/weight workout yesterday outside with thunder in the distance (the rain went south of us....pity because we did need it)...

I am originally from the Chicago area but have lived in Southwest Georgia for 26 years. The heat and humidity has made me a wimp for the colder temperatures. I'm freezing at anything under 60 degrees and I used to love the cold weather. I think you can get acclimated to anything. I do all my...

Happy July! Alisha ~ I hope you are keeping cool! We've had cooler and rainy temperatures. Did you do anything for the 4th? Hi Tricia ~ Hope all is well and that you had a nice, long weekend. I did not get to workout that much last week as I had to be at mom's to put on and take off her...

Alisha - I'm so HAPPY for you!! I'm glad you are without pain and your neck looks better! YIPPEE!!! I have been working out and eating pretty good. Yesterday my sister and I did a trail race in Florida. It was beautiful and the weather wasn't bad. It rained while we were at the starting...

The race was nice yesterday. My sister and I ran it together. It was not a great time but it was SO HOT so it was nice to take it easy. I ran up the big hills though and only walked once on the big hill at the end. This morning was an early 8 mile run. Tricia - Hope you are feeling...

There are some great suggestions here. I live in South Georgia and do all my workouts outside and fatigue has been a big issue for me. I'm up at 5am though and work a full day and I start my workout at 6pm. The heat does come into play even when drinking lots of water. I wanted to make a...

Tricia ~ How are you feeling? I hope the pain has subsided and you will be able to play in your tournament. Alisha ~ I hope all is well with you. I have been working out as usual. It is really hot now and with very little rain. We are in the high 90's and near 100. We will go running...

TGIF!! I ran on 4 miles on Wednesday. It started raining when we had a mile and 1/2 left. It was nice for a while but then it just got sloppy. At least it was not storming just a good rain. When we got home we saw a double rainbow it was so pretty. Yesterday was a jump rope, ball slam...

There is a website called "Goodreads" that will keep track of what you have read and what you want to read. It's a bit like Facebook for readers. You can have friends but you don't have to. They have forums, giveaways and reading challenges. It's a great way to keep track of what you have...

Here are my favorites from the last couple of months. Can't wait until my vacation in late August. We go to the beach and do absolutely nothing. I can usually read 4 or 5 books during the week. The Husband's Secret - Liane Moriarity The English Teacher and Father of the Rain - Lily King The...

Hey Chicklets, It's Tuesday! I am taking a rest day today. Saturday was the Blueberry 5K. I felt great but my time was worst than last year. That seems to be the theme this year. No worries as I have fun. We bought 3 blueberry plants and 2 flats of blueberries. The pints came out to...

Yesterday was a lackluster 3.5 mile run. None of us was feeling it but we got it done. Here is tonight's workout. Very humid tonight but a nice breeze showed up near the end of the workout. 3 Rounds 50 Squats 45 Sit ups 40 Step ups (20 each leg) 35 Push ups 30 Swings 25 Tire Flips Tomorrow...

Thanks for the congrats Alisha. I always like winning trophies even if I'm slow and the only other person in my age group is my sister! Yesterday I did an upper body weight workout that my sister put together. Then we did 3 rounds of kettlebell carries. Each round consisted of a walk up and...

I missed the whole week! It was a busy one though. I am not online as I used to be. New job is going well but busy and have to stop in the mornings and afternoons to put on and take off mom's compression sock. Sisters and I take turns. My race on Memorial day went well although I did my...

Yesterday my sisters and I did "Murph" - 1 mile run, 100 jumping pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats and 1 mile run. I did better on the push ups this year. I started them first and did more up front. Last year they gave me trouble. Today is a rest day and tomorrow is a 8K race. Alisha ~ I...

I have been doing my workouts. Last night was my running buddy's birthday so it was her choice for the mileage. We did 4 miles, which is what we normally do but have been slacking off the last couple of weeks. After work runs are hard for me. Tonight is my sister's 57th birthday (same as my...
