Quick and Effective 30-minute Workout

Hello hello, hope your week is going well so far! Sorry for the short and sparse posting, this lack of home internet thing is killing me; I can’t wait for it to be installed!

Given my fun technical difficulties, I thought I’d just drop in with a quick post about a fun quick workout anyone can do to stay in shape this summer and still have time to play outside. This little gem came to me from Sport&Health and I’m eager to test it out! I will report back on my experience, but in case anyone else wants to give it a whirl and feel free to comment, here it is:

Tuesday’s workout

Is anyone else enjoying the fantastic and unseasonably mild Mid-Atlantic weather? I can’t believe it’s nearly July and I haven’t felt like melting into the Potomac! Given this good luck, I decided to forgo yoga on Monday and take it outside for an evening run.

It was so nice outside that I ended up doing a loop around Roosevelt Island and a few miles out and back on the Mount Vernon trail. All in all, I ended up doing 6.5 miles, and obviously enjoyed stopping to take some pictures along the way ;). It felt so good to be back running post hip cartilage surgery (more on that later), but I also realized how silly I’d been to not bring fuel and hydration along with me. Running in June, mild weather or not, is no joke! Hope you’re enjoying your day and had a chance to catch the World Cup games. GO USA!!!
