Weekly Recap: Esprit de She, Sunrise Yoga, and Some New Athleta Gear

Happy Tuesday friends!

Are you surviving this heat? It's pretty stifling...I decided to skip the hill workout with my run club last night due to the heat, and I just ran easy on my own, with lots of water/walk breaks. Then, a few of the girls and I met up this morning at the early hour of 5:15 am to make up the hill workout. I will share more about that in a "All About Hill Workouts" post, but first let me fill you in on what's happening in Fitness, Fashion, and Fitness Fashion last week!

What's happening in fitness?
Monday: 1 hour barre class at The Barre,, 7 miles with the Calhoun Beach Running Club
Tuesday: 7 miles with the Calhoun Beach Running Club, with three 8 minute tempo intervals
Wednesday: 1 hour barre class at The Barre, 1 hour strength conditioning for runners at the Calhoun Beach Club
Thursday: Sunrise yoga with Luminous Yoga (read all about it HERE), Esprit de She 5k race with 3 mile warmup
Friday: Complete rest!
Saturday: 14 mile long run
Sunday: 4 mile run with Dustin and Matilda, then an awesome time at the Red Barn Pizza Farm <-- stay tuned for a post on that item that I crossed off my summer bucket list!

Summary: 5 days of running, 1 complete rest day, 2 barre classes, 1 strength day

What's happening in fashion?
I wore this maxi dress (find it HERE) to dinner on Saturday at Piccolo. Its kind of a unique take on the standard maxi, with a "T" back style that I liked.

What's happening in fitness fashion?
I posted on Sunday about some new Athleta gear that I am loving- the forerunner tank and the pulse short. Check out that post HERE

That's all I have for now. I hope you are staying cool during this heat wave!

Have you been to a pizza farm? 
How are you staying cool during these crazy hot temps??

FIts Do Product Reviews: The Athleta Forerunner Tank

Another great long run- complete!

Yesterday, I ran 14 miles with the Calhoun Beach Running Club (I'm training for the OBX Marathon in November!)  It wasn't nearly as humid as last week but still hot, and unfortunately our route did not include a lot of water fountains, so it definitely felt tough.

For a hot July long run, it's important to wear light weight clothes that whisk away all the sweat!

For my long run, I wore my new Athleta Forerunner Tank. It's on sale now for just $29.99 (regularly priced $49!). This is a great opportunity to snatch this tank up for a good price!

. 

The forerunner tank is available in aloha yellow, coral sunset, gray heather, white, and cerulean blue. I decided to purchase it in white, so I could pair it with a variety of shorts.

This tank is very light weight and dries very quickly. 

Here's one of the best features of the Forerunner Tank- it has a zippered pocket for your GU's or keys on the side! I love it!

I loved this tank so much on my long run that I am tempted to order a few more in other colors.

I paired the tank with a pair of Athleta Pulse shorts. These shorts are also currently on sale as well, for $34.99 (originally $49). This shorts were also great today on my long run, with the zippered pocket in back that fit two of my GU's.

I'm telling you, now is the time to do your online shopping at Athleta! You really can't beat the deals right now.  Move fast, as items are selling out quickly!
