Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. I am happy to report I am actually home in my normal time zone for the first time in weeks. It’s back to our regularly scheduled programming! Let’s do this.
Back to our regularly scheduled programming
Traveling is always exciting and fun, I am happy to be back in my time zone and more importantly in my own bed this week. I am a creature of habit and getting back on my regular schedule feels good. While on all my travels, I had the opportunity to taste so many yummy foods and well, seems like I brought back a few extra pounds with me as well. This week, my trainer had me on double cardio workouts to try to help get back to normal. So, yes I know I did a lot of exercise this week. I keep it real around here so here’s my weekly run down.
Monday- 45min elliptical + afternoon walk 2.5 miles
So nice to wake up in my own bed! Still pretty tired and sore from the 18+ Ragnar miles but it sure felt good to move.
Tuesday- 2.5 mile run/walk+ hot yoga class + massage
Tried to run this morning but my legs were not really having it yet. Ended up walking most of the way. Hot yoga class felt great and so did my deep tissue massage.
Wednesday- 15 min elliptical + 90 min strength training/kickboxing + 30 m cycle
Feeling back to myself and ready to hit it hard for a few days.
Thursday- 3.25 mile walk/run + 30 m elliptical + evening walking group 3.5 miles
Still not quite feeling the run yet but did my best out there. Finally made it to an evening walking group and it was fun to catch up with some old friends that I rarely see.
Friday- 30 min Peloton cycle + 30 m Strength training + 45 min elliptical
Saturday-45 min HITT Peloton cycle + 45 min elliptical
A very challenging cycle class with my fave instructor Denis.
Sunday- hot yoga class
In other news-remember last week when our Ragnar team “ran into”Jerry Seinfeld? Apparently, it was the talk of the town because our photo was featured in the local paper! Then, surprisingly, I got a call from a Toronto morning show asking if I would do a quick interview about our encounter. My daughter made a fun video with the radio interview included. It’s only 3 min take a look and listen below. If you missed the Ragnar race recap you can find it here and here.
This week just flew by and I am really happy to be back to my regularly scheduled programming. That’s my weekly run down! See ya tomorrow for Meatless Monday.
How awesome! I missed one of the recaps so missed Seinfeld encounter. Love the video, and so cool to put a voice to your writing
I hear you on the own bed thing. Even the last night in a hotel when I think I’ll be missing a king sized bed, I’m so glad to land in mine the next night.
Glad you’re feeling back to yourself. Something great about re-connecting with friends
It was a very fun and random encounter indeed. Yes being in your own bed is the best!
As always, great workouts! It must be nice to be back to schedule. I love that you have an evening walking group – what a great way to socialize and also get some exercise!
The evening walking groups are fantastic. I need to make an effort to attend them more often.
What a full week of “recovery!” I am still in awe of your Jerry experience. I’m SOOO jealous! The radio interview was fun to listen to, too.
Aww thanks so much. It does take me longer to recover from long runs and I am finally feeling back to normal today
Welcome home! It must be hard to get back into a routine after such a fabulous vacation. You DID all the fitness activities this week – good for you! Glad to read that you also treated yourself to a massage in the midst of all the exercising!
The massage was just what I needed and yes it does feel good to be back on my regular schedule
Whoo – fame and fortune, eh?! I love your group of walkers, and I have to tell you I was excited to see a big article about Peleton (and Zwift) in my weekend newspaper. Looks like you had a good recovery week and you were in one place, which is always good!
Yes being in one place- at home- is nice for now! I believe the fame and fortune is short lived 🙂
You sound SO CALM in that interview. I’m sure my voice would be trembling.
Great job getting back at it so quickly. So, what’s the next adventure?
Surprisingly, I was not nervous at all talking to them! Hmm I don’t have another adventure planned yet. I am sure my MRTT group will talk me into something soon 🙂
nothing wrong with some extra workouts to get you back on track, right?!
loved the interview Deborah, SO FUN! still shaking my head that you guys ran into Jerry Seinfeld! Do you think he went to that place because it’s known as the “FART” cafe? hahaha!!
Thanks for listening to it -fun to do. We ended up there bc it was rated as the best breakfast place so I am assuming that is how he ended up there as well
Big week! Glad you’re letting your legs recover a bit after Ragnar! I really want to do Niagara Falls next year, it looked like such an amazing race/experience (and Seinfeld to boot, so fun!)
Yes hoping a few days off of running will do the trick. 18+ miles was a lot for me! The Niagara Ragnar was by far my most favorite of all 5 I have done. I highly recommend it!
A deep tissue massage sounds so nice!
OH it sure was!
I can’t believe how famous you are up north! It’s all so cool! I bet it feels good to be home after so many trips — especially the sleep-deprivation of Ragnar. I haven’t been to yoga for two weeks now — hopefully this week I’ll get back.
Ha about the fame it was fun while it lasted! I had not been to a C2 class in over a month. It sure was tough today but I feel good now.
I’m also a creature of habit and like returning home from vacation. You certainly got a good week of workouts on your return. How fun that the Toronto show wanted an interview! You’re famous! 🙂
ha I don’t know about that but it was fun to do!
I bet it was nice to be back to your usual routine!
It’s so great to have the opportunity to travel but being in your own bed is so nice too
That is so cool you met Jerry AND you were interviewed. So fun! I’ll bet it feels good to settle into your routine again.
Very cool and yes so happy to be back my routine for a while
Oh how fun! I missed the recap about the Seinfeld run in. That’s so cool! Traveling is fun but it always feels wonderful to be back in your normal routine. It may be boring but it works!
Traveling is so much fun but I am ready to be home for a while!
Check you out, star! 🙂 Fun interview!
ha ha thanks!
You had a great week – I bet it feels good to be home! And I love that the radio station invited you on – how fun!
It does feel great to be home!
How cool is your radio interview AND that they gave your blog a plug! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for listening! It was a fun 5 min of popularity 🙂
You weren’t joking about the extra workouts this week – holy moly! You killed it! Great job 🙂 I totally agree that traveling is fun, but there’s nothing like getting back to a routine.
Yea those extra workouts were killer. I love hate my trainer right now lol
That’s so cool you were interviewed! I bet it felt good to get back into normal routine after traveling. Traveling is fun, but there’s something nice about regularly scheduled life. Great week of workouts!
It was fun thanks! Yes always feels good to get back to your regular schedule
I love your workout week! It looks like a lot of exercise, but with very little running it’s an excellent recovery week. Your Seinfeld meet up was fun and it’s cool that it ended up in the paper and tv.
Yes I kept the running to the minimum last week. Hoping my legs are more cooperative tomorrow
How cool that you ran into Jerry Seinfeld! And so smart to get yoga and a massage into your schedule last week. I’m sure that helped a lot with recovery.
absolutely great to get in the massage last week really helped
Great job this week! I would have taken the whole week off to recover. 🙂
I sure needed it!
Fabulous work out there! And I love that photo with all the sunglasses!
I think it’s great that you can do hot yoga! It makes me so dizzy and nauseous. I really would love to enjoy it more.
Hot yoga takes some getting used to for sure
