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.

About Deborah Brooks

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

    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.

      03/08/2020 at 9:51 am

      The time change definitely makes a big difference for a few weeks Yes I am hoping CB seems a lot shorter!

    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

    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

      03/08/2020 at 1:38 pm

      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

  12. Marcia says

    03/08/2020 at 1:58 pm

    Hooray for GOTR season! It was pretty nice here but the wind kind of messed with the mild temps. Happy IWD!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      03/08/2020 at 2:10 pm

      Yes I am excited to get back out there w my little girls

  13. Coco says

    03/08/2020 at 2:19 pm

    Hard to believe it’s time for GOTR to start up already. You definitely are on of the champion of women who inspire me! Have a great week!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      03/08/2020 at 2:56 pm

      Aww thanks I really do love working with them they keep me on my toes

  14. Liz Dexter says

    03/08/2020 at 2:34 pm

    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

      03/08/2020 at 3:51 pm

      Yes I it seems everyone is getting a little anxious me included! So glad you have your run crew and support system as well

  15. Liz Dexter says

    03/08/2020 at 2:35 pm

    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!

  16. Cari says

    03/08/2020 at 2:56 pm

    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

      03/08/2020 at 3:54 pm

      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

        03/10/2020 at 9:40 pm

        So glad to hear you’re feeling a little better about there.

        • Deborah Brooks says
