Thanks for joining me and Kim for the Weekly Run Down. This week was busy and fun with a little last minute escape to Sin City for a few days. My travel bag is always packed!
A few days in sin city Weekly Run Down
Sunday- 4.75 mile run + stretch + core
Finally, woke up to a rain free morning. The humidity is just rude but we’ll take it. It was nice to have an easy paced run today.
Monday-6 mile hike + stretch class
Something different! A group of my running friends headed out to the countryside hike part of the Appalachian Trail. It ended up being a beautiful day and the views at the top were amazing. Kind of cool to hike from Virginia to West Virginia and back again. This was a tough workout! Those Peloton lower body strength classes are paying off!
Tuesday-3 mile walk + stretch and foam roll
wow I was surprisingly so sore from the hike! Mostly, it’s my calves that feel tight. We all decided to take a day off from our normal run and took advantage of the nice day for a power walk.
Wednesday-3 mile walk + full body strength + core
It felt good to get back to some good strength today! It was a beautiful muring for an outdoor walk as well. Later, I headed downtown for my FBI class. It was a really interesting class about counter terrorism cases. We also learned a lot about how China, Iran and Russia attempt to gain access to and exploit intellectual property.
Thursday -early morning flight to Vegas
We had a very early flight to Las Vegas which meant we also arrived early with the time change of 3 hours.After lunch, I planted myself at the pool for some reading and people watching. Always an interesting scene.
Friday-So much walking + Peloton hike +upper body strength + core
I hit the gym in the morning which was surprisingly packed. Later, we walked all along the strip, did some shopping and had lunch. I visit to the spa was on the schedule which is always relaxing and loved the Moroccan decor. Stats say I walked about 8 miles. I drank way too much wine at dinner and woke up in the middle of the night with a massive headache.
Saturday- 4 miles walking + stretch class
I was not feeling stellar this morning likely from the wine mentioned above. Walking around helped a bit otherwise had a pretty chill day.
Later, we went to see Ringo Starr “and his all Starr band” perform. They played a bunch of his own songs, Beatles songs a bunch of other classic rock covers. Of course we stopped for a photo in front of the sphere. One of these visits, I will make in there for a concert.
That’s my week at home and here in city! Hope you are all enjoying a long weekend.
Sounds like a fun trip to Vegas.
And you always look amazing.
Where to next?
It was a fun few days!Will be home for the next few weeks
Nice little getaway! I love that green bathing suit, so chic! Enjoy your Sin City adventures 🙂
Always fun to get away for a few days
What a fun getaway! I don’t think the sphere was in LV when I went with my sister.
The Appalachian Trail sounds like a fun outing!
the trail was really beautiful and a fun change for us
You covered a lot of territory this week- literally!
The sphere looks so odd — is it strange just having it in the background or does it blend in with all the other Vegas glitz?
no not odd at all it is really spectacular in person
Bummer about the headache but sounds like a lovely week, in different places! That pool looks fabulous. I’d love to hike along the Appalachian trail!
Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Thanks feeling much better and enjoying our last day
Your Vegas getaway sounds like a fun one! Yes people watching at the pool is always “interesting” Haha! I did an early morning run down the strip one time and some people were still staggering out of the casinos. Sounds like an awesome hike!
Yes, I have seen some interesting people early morning out here !
Sounds like you had a fun hike with your friends. Isn’t it amazing how when even though we’re in great shape, doing something different can really make us sore?
Enjoy your weekend getaway!
yes absolutely different can be challenging. I was really surprised how sore my calves were
I can imagine the gym would be packed in Vegas – too hot to exercise outside! (or maybe too “public” to be running around…) Sounds like a fun trip! I haven’t been there in a super long time. Ouch on the wine 😩
I figured everyone would be hung over and sleeping in! Lpl
What a fun little trip! I would love to get away to Vegas one of these days!
You look absolutely incredible! That pool photo is gorgeous!
Would love to hear more about your AT adventures. I was considering doing a small multi-day hike but the stories and legends have gotten in my head!
definitely a fun getaway. I would not hike like that on my own but great to do as a group. I am not a camping person so one day for me
An FBI class? Wow. That sounds interesting. Why did you attend that?
And then a trip to Vegas… it looks like a lot of fun (I wouldn’t mind some pool time :)).
I wrote a few weeks ago in the coffee date about the FBI program I applied for It’s 6 weeks and I am really enjoying it
That sounds like a fun week! I like your day of relaxing by the pool- sounds VERY appealing! It’s funny I was just thinking about Ringo because I was listening to the Beatles Blue Album on my car trip. And… that hike sounds amazing. Always fun to hike to a different state!
I am not a big Beatles fan but my hubs is and it was a fun concert
What a great trip! You’ve gotten to go a lot of place this year so far, haven’t you? You look great! A vegas trip seems fun – I haven’t been in years. Glad the FBI Citizens Academy is going well – so interesting!
I have been traveling more with my hubs of late! Ready to stay home this week 🙂
It’s so funny you were in Vegas at the same time as a couple of my local friends!
There were so many people there this weekend!
