Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. Well, Hello December! Not sure I was ready for you but here you are. So, let’s make the most of this last month of the year shall we. It was another busy one this week especially with Hanukkah starting so early. Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate. Here’s a peek into my week of fitness and fun.
Hello December!
Monday- lower + upper body strength + core + 45 m Turkey Burn Peloton
Tough Monday post Thanksgiving. I got a late start to my workouts but got them done. Extra coffee in hand! Spent the afternoon getting the rest of my Thanksgiving glasses and decor put away.
Tuesday- 6 mile run + stretch
We had our first flurries of the season this morning! Cold temps and some wind had me and the squad picking up our pace to get it done.
Wednesday- Heavy lower body strength + upper body + core + Peloton cycle
I loved my lower body strength workout today! Heavy weights and all one-legged moves are just the way I like it.
Switched out my sneakers for some heels tonight and joined my husband for an event at the Japanese Embassy downtown. My photo does not do it justice but there was a beautiful tea room with a lovely garden right behind us. It was fun to go out on the town again.
Thursday- 5 mile run + core + stretch
Cut my run slightly short today due to a Doctor’s appointment. It’s all good! We enjoyed a seasonably warm running day with temps in the upper 50’s.
Friday-core + upper body + Peloton cycle + stretch
Hit my 700th Peloton cycle class today! woo hoo! I did way less cycling this year as I was running more but still managed to complete about 200 classes. The milestones are always fun!
Saturday- Planned rest day
Quick Peloton pajama yoga in Peloton pj’s because why not?!
Sunday- 8-mile Chutzpah Chanukkah Race
So excited for this! Stay tuned for photos.
Melissa says
Congrats on your Peloton ride milestone!! That’s amazing!
We also had some seasonally warm temps this week and it waa okay with me. Gotta take advantage of it when I can!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes you definitely do!
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
I hope you’re having a blast at your 8-mile Chutzpah Chanukkah Race and I can’t wait for a recap and pictures! Yu and your hubby look great in your picture at the embassy!
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks should be a fun one today!
WEndy says
Congrats on 700 Peloton rides! I didn’t realize when you posted the pj photo on IG that those were Peloton pjs. So you can sleep in them and roll right into a workout? Lol They are cute.
Good luck on your Chutzpah run this morning!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes! Sleep in them and roll right into a workout-genius! Thanks I am excited to run the race this morning should be fun it’s a nice day
Darlene S. Cardillo says
Heels? Those were the days.
Congrats on #700. That’s dedication.
A Hanukkah race is so cool. I prefer when both holidays are at the same time.
Deborah Brooks says
My runner feet do not like to wear heels so much anymore!
Kimberly Hatting says
Another Turkey Burn Ride sister! Those both definitely were “burners!” Such a glam pic of you & the mister 🙂 Eager to hear all about your holiday 8-miler, good luck!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! Super low key race today but it was lots of fun. A little bit more of a trail terrain but we had a food time
Coco says
I don’t know which is cuter — the holiday Brooks or the Peloton PJs! Both are awesome.
I hope you are having fun at the race. So sorry I couldn’t do it with you.
Deborah Brooks says
I did get into my holiday decor this week. Highly recommend the PJ’s they are really soft and comfy
Jenny says
Can’t wait to hear about the race- Chutzpah Chanukkah, is that really the name of it? That’s hilarious. Hope it went well.
Love the glamorous dressed up picture! I haven’t worn anything other than running shoes in so long (I can wear them at work.) I don’t think my feet will fit into anything else. Good thing I’m not trying to go to Embassy events- I would probably be kicked out.
Sounds like you had a great week!
Deborah Brooks says
ha ha it was fun to dress up and go out but my feet do not really like heels anymore. Super low key but very fun race this morning and yes, that really was the name of it
Black Knight says
Congrats on your 700 Peloton rides.
I hope that the Hanukkah race went well.
You and hubby look great.
Have a good Sunday and a good week ahead.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks it was a fun small race today and we had a lot of fun together
Cari says
it’s fun to have that mix of play and dress up clothes again. Love your evening outfit and the PJs. Hope your race went well today!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks it was lots of fun and very low key which was really nice
Michelle D. says

Love the name of your Hannukah race, Deborah! Thanks for the laugh. I hope you had a great time — can’t wait to read about it!
Very solid week for you.
Deborah Brooks says
It was really fun and super low key but glad I did it
Jessie says
700 rides, incredible! Love your jumper for the embassy event. Looks fab!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks Jess! It was nice to dress up again for a night out
Liz Dexter says
How lovely to go out! You look stunning! I’m still reeling from wearing a skirt for the first time since March 2020 at our running club awards night the weekend before last …!
Deborah Brooks says
It is fun to go out again however, my feet are not happy in heels. Hope you had a fun night too!
Kim G says
Congrats on 700 rides – that’s awesome! Hope the Embassy event was fun – you both looked fabulous!
Deborah Brooks says
thanks Kim!
Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
Check you out, Peloton PJs! how fun! Sounds like a great night out with your husband. Hope you had a good race. Nothing like some windy weather (or an impending storm!) to pick up the pace!
Deborah Brooks says
It was nice to get dressed up again!
Jenn says
Great week! You guys looked AMAZING at your event! I love getting dressed up and going out!
