Happy Belated 4th of July everyone! Hope you had a great holiday weekend filled with lots of food, friends, and family!

Macy’s fireworks from Brooklyn Bridge — I still wish the fireworks were on the Hudson River, but I have to admit this view and the use of the bridge for the show was pretty incredible!

There really is no better way to recap my week in marathon training than with pictures!

Tuesday tech practice with Alzheimer’s team — warm-up run + strength training on Poet’s Lane and Sheep Meadow in Central Park

USA lost to Belgium = thumbs down

It wasn’t raining, so I’m not sure what I was doing. Likely I was complaining about the heat… or predicting the weather for Thursday’s run

Pushups / planks

Leg swings

Bear walk

Thursday group run in Central Park

The red over Hoboken and because you can’t even see Manhattan should have been a sign that this was going to be a wet run…

All smiles before the run…

Wringing out our shirts afterwards…

Have a great week everyone! Hope you stay cool during this heat wave on the East Coast.

What are some ways you make sure to stay hydrated during the summer months? — I carry a water bottle everywhere I go and Nuun too 🙂

P.S. I still owe you a couple of posts that I promised — full recap of my new Garmin Forerunner 220 and Croatia trip
