Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. This week I am savoring fall and celebrating the “BER” months. Yes, I am a lover of October, November and December in that order. Here’s a peek into my week of fall fitness.
The “BER” Months are the best months Weekly Run Down
Sunday- 3 mile weighted vest walk + painting + core
It was a gorgeous day for a walk with a friend. The “BER” months are the best months. Then, I gloved up (so as not to mess up my manicure!) and took on the job of painting my guest room. Admittedly, this was harder than I expected but I got it done. It is not perfect but it will do! My reward was ordering a bunch of little accessories to make the room look fun.
Monday-Peloton tread hike + upper body strength + core + stretch
Starting my Monday strong is one of my favorite fitness habits. I realized I’ve been slacking on stretching a bit so I am focusing on getting that back into my routine this week.
Tuesday- 3.5 mile run/walk + core
It was a brisk, sunny morning that was just perfect for a run on our favorite trail. The trees are just starting to show signs of fall and I’m all for it.
Wednesday-3 mile walk + upper body strength + core
It was a brisk fall morning just the kind I like and perfect for an outdoor walk. I then hit my gym for some upper body and core work. When I walked back up my driveway, I had a little friend waiting for me.
Thursday- 4+ run miles + core + stretch
It was another gorgeous morning here! I am loving these “BER” months. I’m finding my running mojo slowly coming back.
Friday- Peloton tread hike + upper body strength and core
A short but targeted workout today. I then “kidnapped” my husband for a few hours. We went out to the Virginia exerbs for a wine tasting on a gorgeous fall day. It was great to be outside and away from it all even for just a few hours. The leaves are just starting to change and fall is in the air.
Saturday- + core +stretch
I had a nice sleep in and ended up running errands so we will call that a rest day.

Your trip to the vineyards sounds like so much fun! I’m glad to see you are getting some cooler weather. I’m up early this morning–going to drive up to Wisco to run some trails and do some leaf peeping! This is my favorite time of year for sure.
Deborah Brooks says
Best time of the year-enjoy it
Darlene Cardillo says
Leaf peeping is the best and wine. lol.
Glad your running mojo is coming back.
Deborah Brooks says
I sure am trying hard to get it back
Coco says
I am with you on the BER months! Fall running really is good for running mojo!
Deborah Brooks says
It sure is!
Jenny says
I like the “BER” months in theory, but for us our best weather is in January-February. We did get a little cooldown this week and it definitely helped!
Your wine tasting excursion looks lovely! I love the leaves changing colors at the tops of those trees, and your fall outfits. And wine- what more do you need.
Deborah Brooks says
It is fun to see the leaves changing! Hope you continue to get some cooler weather
Catrina says
Ha, why have I never noticed that the last 3 months are “BER” months?
The photos of your autumn are wonderful – especially the one with the deer! Do they roam freely around your area? Nearly like Wendy’s trails!
Deborah Brooks says
yes, we have tons of deer around us and we have to be careful when driving in certain areas bc they just run out. Our backyard always has deer and they really are a menace to our plants but cute
Susanne says
I get it about the “ber” months if you have very hot summers. Glad to hear you’re back with your running mojo!
How nice with an autumn wine tasting! I was hoping we would be in Italy for the vendemmia but we were too late, and in addition the harvest was very poor this year because of the drought.
Enjoy your week!
Deborah Brooks says
Autumn is really nice around here so I am taking full advantage
Melissa says
Yay for the return of your running mojo! I don’t typically mind October but November and December aren’t often too great around here for running. As always, I love the variety of activity you get in!
Deborah Brooks says
Variety is key for me 🙂
Kimberly Hatting says
You obviously like the BER months more than I do 🙂 I like them, but I’m still quite loyal to “second U” months (JUne, JUly, AUgust), LOL. I’m glad the running mojo is staging a comeback!
Deborah Brooks says
I like summer for travel and pool 🙂 just not running
San says
I love the ‘BER’ months, too. I am ready for fall now…. although it’s still pretty warm here, and no rain yet.
Brisk mornings are the best for running!
Deborah Brooks says
brisk mornings are the absolute best!
Liz Dexter says
I love the deer! We’ve got back from holiday (last Wednesday) to find autumn has started – my acer has started to turn colour, too. My favourite season although can I find my running light(s)? I can not.
Deborah Brooks says
My favorite season as well! Hope you are feeling back to yourself 🙂
Liz Dexter says
I am, thank you – the holiday really helped and I’m back to running now.
Deborah Brooks says
good to hear!
Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
Good job on the painting. It’s a lot of prep work, but what a feeling of accomplishment when it’s finished!
Wine tasting is always a good reason to get away 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
I did feel accomplished!
