Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. We returned from Colorado, had a few days at home and our next stop is Chicago. We wanted to drop in and visit our daughter for her birthday. Here’s a peek into my week of fitness and fun.
Next Stop Chicago
Sunday- 6.2 mile run + stretch
We got home last night and I was determined to get back on schedule with my runs and strength classes. It was a little slow going out there but I got it done. Plus, I never miss a holiday themed run opportunity. We are all a little Irish on St Paddy’s Day!
Monday-Peloton walk + upper body strength + core + stretch
I was a little tired today likely from time change etc but I had a stack to complete and I was determined to complete it. Nice to see my 5K badge pop up/
Tuesday-4.5 mile run + stretch
It might be the first day of spring, but it was cold and very windy today.

Wednesday-Peloton walk + barre + core + lower body strength + 3 mile walk
It was a little bit of everything today with heavy lower body strength and core. It warmed up this afternoon and I had a nice power walk with a friend. A busy productive day!
In case you missed it, I shared my best tips for spring cleaning your home gym space.
Thursday-4.5 mile run + stretch & foam roll classes
Looks like spring feels like winter again. The sun was out but it was windy and cold again this morning. I am always thankful I got out there and feel energized for the rest of the day.
I then spent over an hour trying to get into a live Peloton in studio class for the end of April. In case you have never tried this, they release the registration 6 weeks before the classes. Basically, you have to log on about an hour before to get in the cue to register. Then, it’s just luck of the draw as they fill up I under a minute. I luckily secured a spot in a cycle class and got waitlisted for another tread hike class. Whew!
Friday-airport Peloton walk + fly to Chicago
We were back to the airport to catch a flight to Chicago. To our surprise, we were treated by a little snow storm for the day. It’s definitely still winter here!
We had a delicious dinner with our daughter and her boyfriend.
Saturday- walking around Chicago
I spent the day walking around and shopping with my daughter.
Of course, I had to jump into the Shamrock Shuffle with Wendy, Erica and a bunch of Brooks Running team members. It’s way too cold but I can’t pass up a themed race.
Today-running the Shamrock Shuffle with Wendy. Stay tuned for all the details this week.
You got right back at it, didn’t you? Nice week of running.
I’m looking forward to seeing you soon!!!
I had so much fun!
Have so much fun at the race! Hope the weather isn’t too horribly cold and I’m so sorry I missed you again!
Good luck today. Hope the weather is better than mine. Snow and rain yesterday. No power since yesterday afternoon.
Have fun. Love the outfit.
I’m so bummed our trips to Chicago didn’t overlap! When I was there the weather folks were calling “Sprinter”. i saw signs for your race along the Lakefront Trail.
I hope any winds are at your back! 🙂
Hope you ladies are having fun! Congrats on the 5K minutes, I am hoping to earn that one this week. Love the shamrock running tights!
We had so much fun! I do love the Peloton badges 🙂
LOVE your race outfit!!! I hope it goes well- I can’t wait to hear all about it.
Usually I know what’s going on weather-wise up north, but this week I had no idea you guys were plunged into winter again (until I started reading everyone’s blog posts.) Well… spring will come eventually. In the meantime enjoy your Chicago trip- so nice that you could see your daughter for her birthday!
oh yes it was winter for sure! WE had so much fun together
Nice way to jump right back into your routine 😉 Your Shamrock Shuffle outfit is killer cute! have fun!
Thanks we did !
I hope you guys are having a blast at your race! Can’t wait to see pics and hear all about it on IG. Because I wasn’t able to link up last weekend, I need to go back and read about your ski vacation!
Ha yes, I’ve been busy
Enjoy the race!! I hope it will be enjoyable despite the weather. At least it will be fun watching everyone’s outfits! I’m not a Brooks user (too comfy in Altra) but HOW do I get my hands on a pair of shoes like that???!! They are fabulous!
they do some themed shoes for holidays that are cute! WE had so much fun
Snow! Ah we had some too. Good luck at the shamrock shuffle- hopefully weather turned out okay.
The snow did not stick around but it sure was cold
Enjoy your race – I love your flatlay!
we had a fun time!
Great themed outfits this week! Those race gloves are awesome. Very exciting that you got into the live Peloton class!!
I do love a themed race 🙂
Congrats on 5K badge and 5M. A solid week.
I went to a wedding in Chicago about this time of year and yeah the weather was drunk. Beautiful but drunk. So glad you had a great visit
Always keeps you guessing for sure!
Yay for the Shamrock Shuffle with Wendy! I bet that was amazing!
It’s awesome but crazy how fast those Peloton classes fill up! They are definitely not losing any steam or popularity! So cool!
Stay warm out there!
It was really chilly and yes we had a blast
