The last week of August blessed us with amazing weather—nothing like the heat and humidity D.C. is known for. It was perfect for running, but I also love lounging under blankets with a chill in the air, so the battle with the snooze button was real!
Yes, we flung open the windows!
Wrapping Up August
I kicked off the last week of August with a really tough Peloton ride — one of CDE’s 75 min climb rides. It started with a long warm-up, but once it got tough it stayed that way.
The proof is in the puddle of sweat under my bike!
Monday I started the Pump Up The Volume 5 strength program. It’s a 3 day/week program taught by Andy (full body), JJ (upper body), and Jess Sims (lower body + core).
In the Pump Up The Volume series, there are 4 weeks of classes that get progressively harder, so next week will bring a new challenge.
I did three runs with Scooby with fantastic weather every day.
Tuesday: 3.8 miles
Thursday: 4.4 miles
Saturday: 6.5 miles
My favorite “fun” Peloton class was Leanne’s BeeGees ride. She went all in with the disco look and even had glittery gold eye lashes.
I don’t usually take Leanne’s classes but I always enjoy her artist series rides. Her positive energy is contagious.
A huge thank you to Deborah and Kim for hosting the Weekly Run Down link up.

What a perfect way to wrap up August! Cooler mornings, wide-open windows, and great runs with Scooby!
I’m impressed you tackled a 75-minute climb ride, that puddle of sweat definitely earned!
Wouldn’t it be amazing if this was our weather all the time!? I plan to enjoy it while it lasts as well. The pump up the volume classes are great for variety-enjoy
We’ve really been spoiled this month!
It sounds like a lovely week! I can’t wait to fling open our windows- but we’re nowhere near that yet. You and Scooby must have been happy to be out there running in the cooler temps.
Have a great weekend!
It sounds like a great week with some good running! You totally deserve it after all the heat frustration earlier this summer. It’s good to hear Scooby is back to it too. Have a good week ahead!
Scooby is doing so well!
Sounds like a great week, especially with the weather! I’m guessing Scooby loved it as well 😉
A great week with perfect running weather. I bet Scooby was happy.
I’ve been loving this weather too! I hope it sticks around for a while!
Sounds like a good week of workouts. The cooler weather was so welcome!
It’s so unusual for August around here — my body is confused!
Summer weather is my favorite for day-to-day activities, but this weather is my favorite for working out! Nice week of workouts. Hope your good weather stays!
Oh, that weather sounds absolutely divine. I am under a blanket right now, but I am also in a tank top, so…. not quite the same.
I’m glad you’ve gotten such great weather! We’ve had a milder summer but it seems to be making up for it full first over the past couple weeks, haha. Scooby looks so happy!
The weather sounds so nice! Scooby must have been very happy. Well done on that long ride!
