Thanks for joining me and Kim for the Weekly Run Down. The end of the year came fast, didn’t it? It was a race to the finish for me to end the year strong. Let’s see how it went!
Race to the finish
Monday- barre + core + upper body +strength + stretch
We got home late last night. It was so nice to be back in my own bed again. I was up bright and early and started on the laundry and that Peloton stack I had set up. I am racing to finish my 15K goal by Sunday. Why? I have no idea but when I saw it was within reach, I decided to go for it. 300 minutes to go!
Tuesday- 4 mile tempo run + stretch + mobility
Nothing like a frigid tempo run to jolt me right back to reality and out of vacation mood. It actually felt good to get back on my schedule and get back out with my squad.
Wednesday-mobility + core + strength + cycle + stretch
A big Peloton gym day as I am seeing the 15K finish line! 180 minutes to go.
Thursday- 7 mile run + stretch and mobility
It was a gorgeous day for a run into Georgetown. We hit the trail by our house and ran through Arlington, VA, and across The Key Bridge into the city. A bright sunny and mild day it was just perfect! I love to stop at this sign for a photo and then we found these swings to play on.
Friday- barre + upper body strength + core + mobility stretch
A little mix of all things Peloton today. 40. Minutes till goal!
Saturday- Peloton cycling class + stretch/mobility class
It was a race to the finish but I did it! 15K ✅
Sunday- on the plan 4-5 mile run
I hope to sleep in a bit and then get in a short run to ring in the year.
Happy New Year friends: Wishing you a healthy and happy year ahead with many smiles and miles.
Congrats on 15k! I loved how hard you pushed this week to get it. Do you get any recognition from Peloton for this big accomplishment?
Happy New Year! Looking forward to some adventures with you this year!
I was happy to finish out my goal. Well, you get a badge on your profile. Last year they sent out some special t shirts to some people for big milestones so maybe they will do that again.
It is fun to run in different places. I’d to run in DC area.
Congrats on meeting your goal.
Happy new year.
Thanks it did feel good to finish the year strong!
Congrats on hitting 15K! Is that cycling only or other workouts, too? I hope 2023 is very good to you!
No I actually did way less cycling this year. My 15K is mostly strength and stretching this year. I don’t do the runs w Peloton
Happy New Year! I’m glad you reached your 15K goal, but I knew you would. I bet running in Aruba was quite different from running here.
Here’s to crushing new goals in 2023!
It is so different running there and I cannot complain about being on a tropical island however, running in heat is not my thing. I was happy to hit my goal 🙂
Congrats on hitting 15k! It truly was a race to the finish! Cheers to a healthy, fit and joyful New Year!
It was motivating to have a last minute goal to work towards
Well, that was exciting! I like how you reached your goal on December 31st. Your Thursday run sounds amazing. Beautiful scenery and beautiful weather combined- it makes all the not-so-great runs worth it, to be able to go out and run seven miles on a day like that. Happy New Year!
Yes, it really does!
Congrats on getting to the 15K mark! Wishing you a very happy and healthy 2023!
thanks and happy new years to you!
Way to go on 15k! That’s a very impressive achievement Deborah!
Thanks I was proud of myself for pushing it at the end
Of course you had to push to the 15k when it was within reach! Well done and congrats! I wish you a good start of the new year.
Thanks so much Susanne happy new year to you
Great job on that strong finish!!! I have no idea on my yearly Pelo minutes, but my summer “minutes” suffer due to all my outdoor biking (without any classes being utilized). Always great to see how you dive right back into your routine after a vacation:-) Happy ‘23!
Thanks it felt good to push a goal this month to stay motivated
Congrats on that last race – way to get it in! What a strong finish to the year. Cheers to 2023!
Thanks happy new year to you
Way to go on the 15K!! That’s huge. I hope 2023 brings you all sorts of accomplishments!
thanks so much Lisa happy new year
Happy New Year! Well done hitting the 15K! I am starting to see the appeal of reaching these Peloton milestones LOL.
The mobility classes sound really interesting! That’s definitely an area that I need to work on.
I am loving the mobility classes and really feel a difference with them. Daily stretching is a huge help for me
Welcome home! It’s so great to travel, but even better to come back.
Love those swings! What a fun thing to do while out running with a friend!
Happy New Year!
It is nice to be back in a routine again
Happy New Year! Way to go on finishing the year strong hitting your Peloton annual goal!
Thanks Kim!
Congrats on that Peloton goal! That is pretty impressive. I agree that having a routine is nice. I am enjoying my Winter Break but am looking forward to my school routine.
thanks I am definitely a creature of habit!
YAY for getting that 15K goal in the nick of time! I love taking signs welcoming you to a town/city! I recently collected a few from a trip to South Africa.
And you just reminded me that I have a postcard to send you!
