The Heat Wave Continues

I don’t know what to say. It’s so hot. And we don’t even have it the worst! But I also can’t imagine it being worse than this. Every day is just stifling and oppressive. Motivation is in the sewer. Positivity is lost. I really just don’t want to get out of bed and do anything until winter.

Sunday

Cardio: 3.67 miles, walking

It was my last day at my client’s house, so I enjoyed the different views one last time before snuggling with the furbabies. I even treated myself to an iced coffee from a local truck, and it was absolutely perfect.

As always, it was good to get home and comfy on the couch with my own furbabies.

Monday

Cardio: 5.93 miles, running

It felt just slightly better today, so I was thrilled with that. I was also thrilled to wake up in my own bed.

I didn’t get photos, but we took Mr PugRunner out to celebrate a belated Father’s Day. We were engaged with wedding festivities on the actual day, so we had to make it up to him.

Tuesday

Cardio: 4.9 miles, running

Happy last day of the Streaking With The Cool Kids 2026 event! I wasn’t super engaged with the group this year, but I did manage to complete the challenge! Yay me!

J and I went to a craft night for some counted cross stitch, and then met up for dinner with the husbands later. It was lots of fun. I’m almost done with my project, and will share when it’s finished.

Wednesday

Cardio: 6.04 miles, walking

Happy July! I wish I was more excited about this month, but it all just feels kind of weird and uncertain. The vibes are off. But the miles are not, so let’s go with that.

I was super grateful to catch the sunrise. It makes all the difference in the world.

Thursday

Cardio: 6.55 miles, running

And the week marches on. It was a foggy morning, which was unusual, but I loved it.

Friday

Cardio: 5.40 miles, running + walking

It was a miserable morning! I was so excited to get in my miles in a stunning neighborhood and I got poured on! Yuck! It was not at all how I expected the day to start and I wasn’t happy about it at all. Even worse, I had to go to my clients while soaking wet! Note to self: make sure I always have a towel in the car.

Saturday

Cardio: 4.02 miles, walking

Let’s try this again, but less wet.

Mr PugRunner wanted to have a little block party for the 4th, so we did that. I had some clients for the holiday, so I popped in and out and made appearances.

Thoughts + Goals

I’m having a little bit of overwhelm these days. A lot is going on and it’s all moving so very fast. I’m not complaining, exactly, but there’s just so much I want to do and my brain is pretty scattered. My thought is that it’s a defense mechanism for the big changes coming up in August. I need to lock in just a wee bit.
