Thanks for joining me and Kim for the Weekly Run Down. Hello October! I am so glad to see you. I’ve dreamed about you and now you are here. I can’t wait to take advantage of all the cozy temps and colorful leaves you will bring.
Weekly Run Down
Sunday-core + upper body strength + weighted 3 mile walk
I normally don’t strength train on Sundays, but hey why not? Later, I met up with a friend for another hilly walk. It is still drizzly and gross. When will it stop?
Monday- Peloton ride + core + lower body strength + afternoon walk
Celebrating #NationalCoffeeDay with a strong start to my day. I hit up the bike for a warm up then grabbed those heavies for some lower body strength. Later, I met up with a friend for another rainy walk. (Again)
Tuesday-Peloton cycle class + core + tread hike
It was absolutely pouring this morning (again) so I moved my run to Wednesday. Instead, I hopped onto the bike for a fun Bruno Mars class followed by a tread hike. Joining Coco, Kim and Michelle for the October Peloton Daily Core challenge.
Wednesday- 4 + miles of run/walk + core
Today’s run was a rainy day makeup from yesterday although it was in fact, still raining! Hello October thought Not October weather yet. There was lots of walking breaks but I am out there. Later, did my core class of the day and stretch. Prep and decor arranging for Rosh Hashanah tomorrow. We are hosting this year.
Thursday -Peloton cycle + hosting Rosh Hashanah dinner
I hopped on the Peloton Jewish New Year ride before heading to synagogue for Rosh Hashanah services. It has been a really challenging year for those of us in the Jewish faith. It has been emotional, heart breaking and scary many times over the last year. Hoping this new year brings more peace and security for us all.
I hosted dinner this year and was very excited about my table decor. Each place setting had mini honey jars and apples (the symbol of the sweet new year ahead). I stuck with the apple theme and created these fun flower vases. Now I feel lots of self imposed pressure to out do myself for Thanksgiving.
Friday- 3.5 m weighted vest walk + core + clean up
we slept in after a late night and woke up to pleasantly better weather. I swapped my indoor hike for an outdoor walk with my vest. I’m ready to up the weight soon. Later, it was cleaning up from last night. That is the worst part of hosting! It usually takes me a few dishwasher cycles and a couple days to get everything back from where it came from!
Saturday -Peloton bike/strength split class + 3 mile vest walk + core
A bunch of new Peloton programs came out this week and I had to try them. I jumped on the bike & strength combo class. More on that later. Then, met up with a friend for another walk. We finally have nice weather! Hello October!
Happy New Year! I love your table decor–the apples in the flower vases is such a clever idea!
I hope for more peaceful times ahead.
Thank you me too xoxo
Shanah Tova! I hope this year brings some peace. Your tablescape looks lovely! I can’t wait to see what you do for Thanksgiving!!

Wishing you and your family a great new year, and many prayers for peace & safety. Wow, you sure set a beautiful table (as I’ve seen numerous before). I love the apples! I’m loving October’s weather so far (but I know it’s not going to last forever).
Thanks Kim really appreciate the sentiments xoxo I’m going to soak in the October weather for as long as it lasts too
Happy Jewish New Year and yes, peace and safety for everyone. This would be my wish as well.
You had a great week of workouts and as always you keep it flexible. I enjoyed some of the AFO classes too.
Thanks San 🙂
That apples/vase thing is so clever! Well done on a strong week. I’m still being careful as I recover from Covid though did quite a lot of walking Friday and Saturday.
sounds like you had a pretty rough time of it. Hope you are feeling back to yourself soon!
