It feels like the humidity just won’t quit around here. Even on the days that are slightly cooler, the humidity is still there. It’s the second week in October and I haven’t even worn a long-sleeved shirt yet once for a run! Why does it always feel like the seasons linger when we are ready for the next one? I’m sure if next April/May are cold I’m going to be wishing for warm weather. It also makes me worried that we are going to totally skip fall and head right into winter.
Monday: 7 miles + Mobility
A dark and sweaty start to the week! I could feel that my legs needed a break from running after this run plus 10 and 5 mile runs over the weekend.
Tuesday: Strength Training
I didn’t run and just focused on strength training and foam rolling/stretching.
Wednesday: 7 miles
For the past few months I’ve been doing fartlek runs on Wednesdays, but I wasn’t up for it this week. I decided to keep the pace easy but included some hills in my run.
Thursday: Strength Training + 5 miles
I started out with my strength training workout and then headed out for 5 miles. Even though the temperatures were a bit cooler I still felt like I was swimming during this run.
Friday: 8 miles
I decided to get in a longer run on Friday so I wouldn’t have to worry about it over the weekend when I had family in town. 8 miles takes me much longer these days than it used to, so it was all I could get done before work.
Saturday: 6 miles
I headed out in the fog planning to do 5 miles, but there was construction on my route and I took a different turn. I ended up running 6 miles and was super sweaty by the end thanks to (you guessed it) humidity.
Sunday: Rest
I definitely needed a rest day after a busy week and weekend!
Baby Shower Weekend
This weekend was also our baby shower. Rob’s family (his parents, sister, and her family) stayed with us. We had a small shower at a restaurant nearby with close family and then everyone came back to our house after. It was a great day and Baby Selby got lots of great gifts!
Next up is getting the nursery painted and furniture delivered so we can start to get ourselves organized. 11 weeks to go!

Weird Things About Running While Pregnant & Weekly Wrap
Month in Review: September 2018
How were your workouts last week?
Anyone else feeling like the humidity just won’t quit?
Ever get detoured on a run and do extra mileage?
Linking up with Holly and Wendy for the Weekly Wrap!
Yup, this humidity is just relentless! Even as I type this, it’s not quite 7am yet and we’re already at 96% humidity – yuck!
So exciting that you had your baby shower this weekend – you look beautiful!
Yesterday morning’s weather was terrible and today seems to be just as bad. How is is 70+ degrees with 100% humidity almost every day lately?
I sincerely hope we don’t skip fall and head right to winter! It would be so sad.
You looked beautiful at your shower! Can’t believe it’s only 11 weeks to go for you.
Thank you! Time is really flying.
I would love it if we could have a few months of fall weather. I’m over the heat but not at all ready for winter!
It’s going to be in the 80s here today and tomorrow then boom! back to the 50s for later this week. We usually get a few warm days in October but I don’t remember such extremes in the weather! Crazy.
The shower is making it seem real, isn’t it, mama? It’s getting closer…
When I look back on pictures from past years I’m usually running in long sleeves by now, although we do usually have a few warm days and cold days thrown in there. This is just non-stop heat and humidity. I think it may cool down for us this weekend, but it will be gross and rainy.
The shower does make it seem more real! Also having a room full of baby stuff in our living room!
I love your dress. Crazy to be able to go sleeveless without a pashmina in October.
Congrats on a solid week – and yes, the humidity needs to go. Thursday office group we ran through a literal cloud
Thanks! Yes, it was crazy how warm it was this weekend. At least we were able to be outside.
Your baby shower looks wonderful! You got in some great mileage this past week, well done! Agreed about the humidity – yuck! It seems to last all day and all night, there’s no escape!
Thanks! The humidity just seems never ending lately. Either its hot and humid or raining.
I did extra mileage a few times when I was using Runkeeper. I wouldn’t hear the prompts and keep running.
Good luck getting ready for the baby! Do you know the theme of the nursery (if it’ll have one)?
We don’t really have a theme…we’ve just picked out some things we like but maybe once it all starts to come together we will focus on decorating with something specific.
As much as I love summer, I would like to have a chance to get outside and actually enjoy fall….but it’s been so cold and damp. It feels like we’re skipping right into late fall, and winter will be here next week. UGH. Kind of like how we skipped spring (well, I guess we had maybe a week of spring-like temps).
Why does it always seem like we skip the good seasons?
I feel like we never have fall and definitely go straight to winter! it seemed more humid than its been this morning – I totally noticed it today. hope you had a nice time at your shower!
Yesterday was brutal. I think today is supposed to be bad too. I would really like at least a few weeks of fall before it starts to get really cold!
Baby showers are so much fun! Except the cool items you get now had not been thought of yet when I had baby showers. LOL. You’ve done such a good job of staying active so far. With 11 weeks to go, you are in the home stretch! I agree with you on the humidity. It needs to go. Thanks for linking!
It’s crazy that there are only 11 weeks left! Not sure how much of this humidity I can take. It feels like it’s still August!
Aww, baby showers are so much fun! Love your dress! And wow- you are still killing it in your running!
Thanks! We kept it small and it was really nice. The running is still going well for now but it’s been getting harder!
Love your baby shower dress!! Good luck with the nursery, I enjoyed doing mine. But don’t stress, because the baby probably won’t be in there for a while 🙂
Thanks! Now that we have some stuff picked out I’m excited to start putting it all together. I feel like there is still so much time yet the weeks are going by so quickly!
The temps dropped big time today here in Ohio, so I’m all confused on what to wear tomorrow on my run! Baby shower already? The weeks are just clicking off! It’s always so fun to get all of the baby stuff. Love all the tiny little clothes 🙂
It really is going by fast! Only 10 weeks to go!
The humidity has been way too much lately. Doesn’t feel like it’s fall when it’s that high. Everytime I run in an unfamilar place I seem to go a little further then I set out to do. Great job still getting it in!
I’m glad the humidity finally went away (at least for now)!
Humidity has been awful here too – and now that it’s finally let up this weekend, I’m sidelined with a cold. Gah! Here’s hoping fall sticks around for good
That’s the worst part about the temperature dropping! Hope you feel better quickly.
wow 11 weeks to go?! You are really doing such an amazing job of staying so active and keeping up your schedule. Enjoy this weather!
Thanks! Now it’s actually less than 10- crazy how fast it’s going!
You’re still running some solid miles, good for you, Lisa!
Glad to hear your had such a nice baby shower!
Thank you!
