Week In Review - Heating Up
Happy Sunday! How are you today? I hope you had a fantastic weekend. I just finished watching the last World Cup game, and France won! Croatia did amazing, and were a very strong team. Congratulations France!
Running
What a hot week it was ! Every single run this week was drenched it sweat! This week was intervals, in 88 degrees, tempo run in 80 degrees, easy run in 85 and long run on 80 degrees.
I ate a few gnats during my intervals.... not fun.
On Saturday I was supposed to do my long run, and get up at 5:30 am. First I didn't hear my alarm, or turned it off, and when I did wake up, I had terrible vertigo. I got up to use the bathroom and couldn't get the room to stop spinning. I sat down on the couch willing the dizziness to go away, but I just felt sicker. I went back to bed and slept for a few more hours and woke up feeling a lot better. It was a stressful week, and my body was trying to get some rest.
Mothering
Another fantastic week with my son, and his summer vacation. This week we went to pay racketball and to the pool. But I didn't take pictures of that. I do have this great picture of my kid while we were having breakfast.
Currently Reading
I added the book Chicana Falsa by Michelle Serros to my TBR list years ago, after listening to her interview on NPR. I kept debating to order the book, but I kept putting it off. During a conversation with my sister, she said that she had a copy of this book, and asked me if I wanted it. I said yes!! The copy is also signed by the author, whom my sister met back in 2004!

I'm glad it wasn't a work day when you experienced that vertigo. Glad it got better. That can be scary.
ReplyDeleteYes! me too! It was awful! I think all the stress from work got to me this week.
DeleteIt sure was a hot week! Of course you got your workouts in though! I'm sorry you didn't feel well Saturday morning. Do you only get vertigo in the am?
ReplyDeleteWhen I get vertigo, it's first thing in the morning. It's weird... it's like if I wake up during deep sleep, my brain can't deal with waking up. I can usually sleep it off.
DeleteUgh, the vertigo sounds awful. I'm glad it went away after a bit and you felt better. I'm sure the hot temperatures didn't help anything.
ReplyDeleteI have not been doing well at staying hydrated, so you are absolutely right that the high temps didn't help. I need to work on my water intake.
