Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. It’s our birthdays week! My husband and I have birthdays 2 days apart (well, 4 years and 2 days but who’s counting?!) This week, offered a bunch off ways to celebrate big and small. We ended the week celebrating with our kids (the best) and lots of friends. Don’t worry, I still kept up my activity all week!
It’s our birthdays! Weekly Run Down
Sunday- 2.5 mile walk + foam rolling class
My rest day this week. It was another beautiful fall day and I couldn’t resist a walk through the neighborhood followed by some massage gun action and foam rolling class.
Monday- Peloton cycle + core + chest/triceps strength day
Today I started the 4th week of Rebecca’s strength program (Peloton) and I’m definitely feeling stronger. I’m kicking off my birthday week. Later, I went out to dinner with some of my squad for dinner and would you believe we forgot a photo?!
Tuesday-Birthday miles + legs & core strength
It was a gorgeous morning to get in some birthday miles and coffee with my squad. I am still plugging along with my 1:1 intervals. Grateful to be back out there.
Later, we attended a book signing party downtown and went out for dinner.
Wednesday-Peloton cycle + legs and biceps strength + stretch + PT
Now that I am in week 4 of this strength program, I am really starting to feel a lot stronger. Using heavier weights and using more reps feels good!
Thursday-3 mile run/walk + barre
I moved up to 2:1 intervals today with no problems on this gorgeous,s unit November day. Today, was my husband’s birthday so the week of birthdays continues. We had a nice romantic dinner at home.
Of course, I had to get my Starbucks red cup. Truth be told, I do not even like the taste of Starbucks coffee at all. I figured every good influencer needs one. So here’s mine.
Friday- Peloton cycle + back & biceps strength + stretch
I had another birthday lunch with my sister and mom. We are really doing a full on week celebration this year. After all, life really should be lived and celebrated to the fullest!
Saturday-Birthday party!
Our daughter flew in this morning yay! We are continuing to celebrate our birthdays with a big party. It is a Philadelphia foodie theme and should be lots of fun. I will share photos later!
We had some fun signature drinks that were a big hit.
I did have this fabulous running 🏃 themed cake
Now a few days to recover before Thanksgiving!
Happy birthday to you and your hubby.
You know how to celebrate.
I’m not injured but often run 1:1 and today 2:45… whatever works to stay fit and healthy.
thank you! Yes, whatever works and gets us to the finish line

What a fab week, with so much to celebrate!! That cake looks too pretty to eat…but I’d think I’d manage:-)
Lots to celebrate! And yes, I sure did manage to eat it
What a GREAT cake!!! Happy Birthday to you and your husband. I love how you have birthdays two days apart- it makes the celebration more epic. Now I feel like I have to start planning my own birthday week, and it’s not till March.
I hope you have a fabulous time with your kids : )
Never too early to start planning! Is this a milestone birthday for you?
Wow, what a beautiful cake. Happy happy birthday Deborah! Wishing you all the best in the coming year.
Thanks Jessie!
Happy birthday to you and your husband! Looks like you had a great week of celebrations!
Nice strength work – isn’t it wonderful to feel stronger? It makes such a difference to one’s wellbeing. I’m so happy for you that your running is going well too and that you can do more of it now. Your running cake is so fun!
It sure does feel good to feel stronger!
THAT CAKE! How fun.
It’s neat to have your birthdays back to back like that. A and I have our birthdays within 10 days of each other, but the rest of our big days are spread out.
I hope you had the most wonderful week of dual celebrations.
It was just what we needed and lots of fun
Happy birthday! What a great week and what an awesome cake! Was that a gift or did you order this yourself?
We have a fantastic cake lady and she designed it came out just as amazing as I would hope
What a fun week!! Happy birthday to both of you. Glad you were able to enjoy it with friends and family, and a few miles!
yes, it was a fun time!
Happy birthdays!
That is the perfect cake for you.
Unfortunately in my city we don’t have a Starbucks, the closest is in Rome.
Your Italian coffee places are so much better than Starbucks!!
