Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. I am leaping through this last week of February embracing the extra day. Here’s a peek into my week of fitness and fun.
Leaping through February Weekly Run Down
Sunday- 8.5 mile run + stretch
Longest run in a long time! Really thankful to be back here where I am. this quote really spoke to me today.
Monday- morning walk + upper body strength + core + yoga for hips + afternoon walk
We got a taste of spring today with temps into the 60’s! I had to take advantage with a morning walk with friends and later another Peloton walk.
Tuesday- 4 mile run + stretch + mobility
My legs felt a little tired after Sunday’s longer run but I got it done. It was more like April this morning with temps in the mid 60’s for a few hours. It did not last but I sure took advantage of it when I could.
Later, I met my little sister for coffee.
Wednesday- Peloton walk + upper & lower body strength + core + stretch
A little bit of everything today. I was excited to hit my 4K on Peloton. Now I just have to keep up this leaping pace all year round!
Thursday- 5 mile DC Monument Run + stretch
We took advantage of our extra day of February and it sure did feel like February today. Nothing like a 40 degree temp drop! I headed downtown with my squad for a monumental run. (See what I did there?) The Cherry Blossoms might not be out for another 2 weeks but it’s always a beautiful run. Bonus-no crowds!
This is a very Washington, DC photo. You can see the Presidential helicopters flying by that just took off from the White House seconds before. They travel in a line of 3 when The President is on board. The 3rd one is just off to the right.
Friday-Peloton walk + upper body strength + core + afternoon walk
I woke a little sore in a good way from my deep tissue massage yesterday. My guy really got into my hips and glutes (as requested) and I was feeling it. I kept it on the lower side of things today.
Daydreaming of my next run with the new Glycerin 21’s.
Saturday-rest day
Rest day for me a few Peloton stretches and mobility classes.
That’s my week of Leaping through February! How was yours?
It’s great to see you back out there running again! What a mixed-bag week of weather. Glad you could get out and enjoy it.
It was a crazy roller coaster of weather for sure
We had such a wonky week of weather too! So glad you’re back and running and feeling pretty good doing it. you are your sister are so cute! I love your outfit for your coffee date.
Thanks!
Great quote. And great week of running.
Yes. The weather were us was crazy. Glad the rain started yesterday after my run. Warm up today it seems.
I can’t complain this week!
Great week for you! How fun to run in DC. It’s definitely a goal for me!
I can’t wait to try out those Glycerins too! They will have to wait for me to return from California, tho. Taking my new Cascadias with me for those mountain trails!
I am excited to try them on a shorter run first. I used to wear them a few years ago. We will definitely plan a DC visit
Nice week, Deborah, and congrats that long run! Your DC monumental runs (see what I did there, LOL) look SO fun! I wish I could join you!
Anytime!
Congrats on the long run! Glad to see you coming back so strong!
That is a great “D.C.” shot — the sky is so blue too!
It was a beautiful morning!
That is great you were able to do such a long run! And I love that quote. And congrats on 4K Peloton minutes! Love the pics in DC. Pretty shoes too! Looks like you had a great week!
It was pretty good all around!
Yay! 8.5 miles is definitely getting up there- it must have felt so good. And yes, I love that quote.
I love the photos from the monument run. It must be so cool to live in that area.
I think our “winter” is over- the temps are forecast to be in the 80s (upper 80s some days) for the next ten days and I imagine it will only get hotter. When people start talking about “spring” up north my heart sinks a little but oh well- it is what it is.
Running in DC is always fun and we should do it more often. I like spring but thumbs down to summer running here
That landmark/monument route looks so amazing. I would love to get to run in DC. It’s on my list, but I just need to get it scheduled.
Great job this week! I’m glad the weather was so beautiful!
come visit sometime and I will be your tour guide!
I am so happy to hear your running is going so well again – back to your old self! And you did have some glorious running weather this week.
Congrats on 4k!
Very cool picture of the sights in DC! That would be a very interesting place to run in. Glad you are getting back at the good runs.
Happy to be your running tour guide anytime!
Very cool monumental run! Love all that sunshine!
Sunshine is always appreciated
