Here we are in July, entering the second half of this year. This week, I completed week 3 of the Team Wilpers Summer Run Challenge and started new (Streakers365) trackers. I am trying to be mindful and will only aim to complete three trackers this month because I also want to keep up with strength training.
Monday
- 20 Min Bodyweight Strength – JJ (5/20/25) — Move for Life
- 10 Min Focus Flow: Healthy Back – Anna (6/23/26) — The Streak
- 30 Min Endurance Walk – Logan (10/2/25) — Move for Life
In an effort to keep the sweat level low (only 6 more days with the Zio Patch!), I did a little bit of body weight strength and a yoga flow in the morning. I added some more extra steps with an after-dinner walk.
Tuesday
- 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt (5/14/25)
- Team Wilpers Summer Run Challenge W3R1 | Endurance Run + Strides
- 45 Min Outdoor Run Club Run – Hannah F (5/16/26)
- 5 Min Post-Run Stretch – Joslyn (6/10/26)
- 45 Min Outdoor Walking
- 10 Min Pilates – Kristin (1/5/23) — Core before S‘More
- 5 Min Restorative – Nico (4/5/26) — The Streak
I started my morning with a 45-minute endurance run and completed 4.6 miles/7.4km of the 20 km that I pledged for the goals at the Germany World Cup game on Monday. It was once again a beautiful morning for a run through our neighborhood.
I also went for a nice lunchtime walk (+ lunch) with my coworkers and ended the day with Pilates and restorative yoga.
Wednesday
- 10 Min Daily Meditation – Anna (5/31/26) — Star-Spangled Self Care
- 20 Min Bodyweight Strength – Robin (4/27/25) — Move for Life
- 10 Min Morning Yoga Flow – Chelsea (9/27/23) — The Streak
I started the first day of July with a meditation and some bodyweight strength and yoga. Just a sweet and short workout stack.
Thursday
- 10 Min Restorative Yoga – Kristin (4/12/22) — The Streak
Today was a complete rest day. I barely moved from the couch.
Friday
- 5 Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt (5/14/25)
- Team Wilpers Summer Run Challenge W3R2 | V02 Max Run
- 45 Min Outdoor Run Club – Joslyn (2/21/26)
- 10 Min Cool Down Run – Alex K (6/22/26)
- 30 Min 4th of July Ride – Emma (7/4/24) — United We Streak
- 10 Min Focus Flow: Quads – Kirra (12/22/25) — The Streak
I had a V02 Max interval run on deck today. These intervals were out to get me, but I crushed them. I love the interval runs, but 3 minutes at V02 Max pace are no joke, but I added another 5.8 mi/9.3 km for the 20 km that I pledged for the four goals at the Germany World Cup game on Monday (which brings the tally up to 16.7 km).
When I returned home, I pounded some electrolytes and then jumped on the bike for a 4th of July ride with Tanja and Lindsay. It was more like a “cool down” ride for me (I just pedaled) but it was fun. I hadn’t done a 30-minute ride in a while.
Saturday
- 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt (5/14/25)
- Team Wilpers Summer Run Challenge W3R3 | Endurance Run
- 45 Min Pop Run – Matt (7/2/26) — United We Streak
- 5 Min Post-Run Stretch – JJ (7/1/26)
- 20 Min Yoga + Pilates – Greta (3/23/26) — Star-Spangled Self Care
I slept in a little bit and headed out for my easy-pace endurance run around 10 am.
Sunday
- 30 Min Arms & Shoulders Strength – Adrian (12/31/25) — United We Streak
- 10 Min Standing Core Strength – Erik (7/5/26)
- 20 Min Restorative – Aditi (6/28/23) — Serenity Sunday
- 10 Min Calming Meditation – Anna (3/9/21) — Serenity Sunday
I met up with Tanja this morning for some strength training with Adrian. His classes are sneaky, because he’s always sweet and all smiles, but the workout always packs a punch. It was good, though and the 30 minutes flew by quickly. That’s what you want from a great workout. I added a bit of standing core afterwards, and did some restorative yoga and meditation with some fellow Streakers for Serenity Sunday.
Today was also the day I was able to take of the Zio Patch and I swam some laps at the pool in the afternoon, now that I was allowed to get in the water and take a full shower again.
Current Challenges + Trackers:
I picked three trackers for July. The (fun) United We Streak tracker with a bunch of different classes, the Self Care tracker, and as always my personal streak tracker (my daily yoga).
