Thanks for joining Kim and me today for the Weekly Run Down. We are loving all the fabulous participation from so many motivating strong women each week. Let’s keep it going and growing. Since today is International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate each other even more.
Weekly Run Down Celebrating Strong Women
Monday- 40 min Peloton + 60 min strength training
Never miss a Monday! Love to start my day off with a sweaty spin class. Also in case you missed it, I shared my amazing 3 Bean Vegan Chili because it was still a little chilly here this week. My favorite way to warm up after a cold run.
Tuesday- 3.25 mile run
Only had time for a short run today but a short run is better than no run. Beat the rain and enjoyed the warm temps.Leggings coordination on point! Ha.
Wednesday- 30 min Peloton + 90 min strength training and kickboxing
Giving my hamstrings a little something to remember me by with these dumbbell curls. Good stuff!
Thursday- 8 mile run + Girls on The run practice
Woo hoo got my longer run in today. Cool temps were a blessing and I felt great out there. Working back up for Cherry Blossom in 4 weeks.
My Girls On The Run Team started back up today. I missed these young strong women the past few months and I am glad to be back with them. Can’t believe I forgot a photo!
Friday- 45 min Peloton cycle and stretch
Saturday- 3 mile run and MRTT Birthday celebration
Celebrating 7 years of our wonderful MRTT group with these strong women. Have no idea what I did with myself before I met them all. We are now over 700 ladies in our group. Breakfast and coffee was a fantastic finish. My heart is full!
Sunday- Rest Day and stretching
Rest day for me!
It was a week of celebrating strong women of all ages this week. Happy International Women’s Day to my favorite women near and far. Thanks for joining us today. See you tomorrow for Meatless Monday and Wednesday for the Runners’ Round Up.
Catrina says
700 running ladies in the MRTT! Awesome! I bet you had a great time together on Friday.
Wow, that Cherry Blossom race is approaching fast – only 4 weeks to go.
Deborah Brooks says
I know our group sure is special!
Darlene S. Cardillo says
Another active week with lots of activities.
Kudos on a long mid week run.
After a Half, cherry blossom will be cake. Lol.
So dark this morning. Good thing I do all my runs after work.
One week until NYC. Hope I’m ready.
Deborah Brooks says
The time change definitely makes a big difference for a few weeks Yes I am hoping CB seems a lot shorter!
Beckett @ Birchwood Pie says
Oh a big bowl of chili sounds like the perfect post run recovery food! I need to try it and hamstring dumbbell curls. Congrats on the success of MRTT and the new season of GOTR
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks it’s been a busy fun week around here

Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
Looks like a fun week! I’ve often considered helping out with our GOTR group. Perhaps when my daughter heads off to college I find myself with lots of time on my hands! (eek, will be happening too soon…) I’m in the process of planning a trip to DC right now for Spring Break (right after the Cherry Blossom race). I’m not sure yet if that’s a good idea, or the place will be crazy busy…
Deborah Brooks says
I highly recommend volunteering with GOTR it has been a fabulous experience for me. Hope your trip to DC is a go it’s a great time to visit here
Marcia says
Hooray for GOTR season! It was pretty nice here but the wind kind of messed with the mild temps. Happy IWD!

Liz Dexter says
A great week, well done! Love your huge group of ladies – I wouldn’t be without my running club although not sure how long we’ll be able to meet up in a large group at the moment as the country is getting a bit twitchy!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes I it seems everyone is getting a little anxious me included! So glad you have your run crew and support system as well
Liz Dexter says
Great week, love all your ladies, my comment wouldn’t post so trying again now. I wouldn’t be without my running club although large get togethers might be limited for a bit!
Cari says
8 miles. GO YOU! We’re going to kick cherry blossoms’ ass. Well no, for me I just want to have fun because I know there’s no chance I won’t be taking ALL THE PHOTOS even if we’re allegedly going to be past peak. Still pretty.
Congrats on an amazing week and all the work you’ve put into Girls on the Run & MRTT.
Deborah Brooks says
Well I don’t know if I will be kicking anyone’s ass this CB race! I am starting to feel a little better out there. Will keep doing run intervals until after Cb. Happy and healthy training to you
Cari says
So glad to hear you’re feeling a little better about there.
Deborah Brooks says
