Thanks for joining me and Kim for the Weekly Run Down. It was another busy week around here but I got it done. Here’s a peek into my week of fitness and life.Where did this week go? Seriously, it flew by!
Where did this week go? Weekly Run Down
Sunday- 4 ish mile run + stretch
And today, it was summer. It was a gorgeous morning for running and catching up with friends. Always grateful for my squad.
Monday-Peloton walk + lower body strength + cycle + core and stretch
I thought it would be a good idea to schedule 3 service people to the house in one day to avoid waiting around on multiple days. It was very hectic over here and a little bit of a disaster at times. I kind of pieced together my workouts with breaks to chat with each of them. Adrian continues to kick my butt literally with the glutes and legs program.
Tuesday- 4 mile run + stretch + foam roll
It was a gorgeous day for a run and we had a nice big group. Later, I went to Home Depot to get the supplies so that someone can fix the huge hole in my drywall that the plumber made on Monday. Does anyone else feel like the biggest idiot in Home Depot or it’s just me?
Wednesday- Peloton walking + upper body strength + core + cycle + stretch
A little bit of everything today. I am trying to get my cycle class number up before I go to the Peloton studio (the mothership) next week so I can get a milestone shoutout.
Thursday-4 ish mile run/walk + stretch + core
I was not prepared for 75 degree temps on today’s run and ended up walking a bit more than usual. Allergies have been fierce and my head felt like it was going to explode. Other than that, great day 🙂
Friday-Peloton walk + upper & lower body strength + core + yoga
Honestly, still sore from Wednesday’s workout but I stuck with my schedule. It was nice to do an extended stretch and yoga today. I never regret giving my body some extra recovery.
Saturday- 3 mile run + stretch
Today was our spring MRTT Welcome Run. It’s always so great to meet a few new members and catch up with old friends too. Ended up being a nice day all around. Later, we had dinner with my son and his girlfriend at a new Italian Restaurant.
Seriously, where did this week go!? It just flew by! I’ve got some exciting things coming up this week that I am looking forward to.
Darlene Cardillo says
Yes you packed a lot into the week.
The mothership. That’s NYC, right? I guess I just missed you.
Your group is so successful. Love that.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes I’m going to NYC this coming weekend and will take a class at Peloton
Wendy says
Sometimes it’s nice to have a busy week like that! Glad you got a lot done. I went to Home Depot as well–I worked on some projects and needed supplies. Nothing like a hole in the wall, tho.
It’s great that your MRTT chapter continues to grow!
Deborah Brooks says
A hole in the wall is not good! Yes it is nice that our chapter is growing warms my heart ♥️
Marcia says
I feel like ALL of these weeks lately are flying by! I only go to the HD garden center. Other than that, its a no go. Sounds like you had a productive week!
Deborah Brooks says
It’s very overwhelming in there!
Kimberly Hatting says
I’m lost in Home Depot, but I can usually find my way around after the third lap around the place. I spent 90 minutes, though, Friday after work, on a call with tech support for my internet service. My tv’s were not connecting (though they both showed as being connected on the app, etc.)…so, I’m off to go tv shopping later, after my race. That’ll be fun (not).
Deborah Brooks says
Ha 3 laps sounds about right! Tech support is always frustrating
Coco says
Sounds like a great week! I only go to the garden center at Home Depot, otherwise I am dazed and confused — I think they do that on purpose. Sounds like maybe the plumber should have gone!
Deborah Brooks says
It is so overwhelming in there!
Debbie says
Those MRTT welcome runs are always so much fun. With my limited running these days I don’t get to join in on runs, but I do have a group of seven friends I met through MRTT that go out for dinner several times a year. Love them to pieces!
I love going to Home Depot and Lowes. I’m so happy my dad taught me how to fix things around the house. I’ve even repaired drywall after electricians had to make holes to install lights. I won’t attempt electrical or plumbing work though. I leave that to my husband or the experts.
Deborah Brooks says
Well next time I will just hire you to be my handyman
Debbie says
LOL, I’m not up for hire for handyman services. It’s all about being able to save money and the satisfaction of a job well done.
Deborah Brooks says
Ha yes it does feel good to be able to fix things on your own!
Jenny says
Sounds like you do have a fun week coming up! And yes I agree with Coco- the plumber should have fixed his own hole in the wall!
You had a nice week of running with friends! I’m excited for your trip to the mothership next week.
Deborah Brooks says
I am excited for my trip to the mothership as well! Apparently, plumbers make the holes but don’t fix them.
Melissa says
Wow what a fun week you have planned! You get to go take a live class? That will be great!You’ve done that before, haven’t you? I love all the running with friends you do – one of these days, I’d like to start running with people again. For now, I fit my runs in mostly at 4 a.m. before school or sporadically between kiddo activities, and don’t know anyone else who wants to do that.
Deborah Brooks says
Yeah meeting up at 4 am would not be appealing to many people! (Including me). Yes, I have taken an in studio class before and it is always a blast
Susanne says
The weeks certainly seem to fly by these days. You had a good varied week for sure. I love your colourful leggings!
Enjoy the mothership trip!
I so recognise the situation after the plumber. Are they all like that? I once had the electrician and plumber here working at the same time, it was horrible, lol!
Deborah Brooks says
It seemed like a good idea to have multiple service people here but it was a mess!
Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
Your live Peloton class is going to be so fun!! How exciting! My week flew by too. So many things going on! Great workouts this week for you.
Deborah Brooks says
yes I am psyched for it!
San says
Congrats on 7k! And I love the sunny weather and your rainbow leggings! 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks!
Jenn says
Even though the week flew, it looks like you had some awesome things going on! I love that!
it’s so nice to get to share your miles with a great group of women! I hope it continues for you through the summer!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks Jenn
