Thanks for joining Kim and Me for the weekly run down. I had a pretty good month in January despite the weather challenges and looking forward to running into February.
Weekly Run Down Running into february
Sunday- 5 mile run + stretch and core
Just like that we are back to winter with a cold light rain for our run. Nothing special about this run just keeping on keeping on.
Monday-Peloton walks + upper & lower body strength + core + stretch
I was on a mission this morning to hit my 2K milestone on Peloton. So, I created a varied stack that would allow me to hit. I do love to have a long workout on Mondays. Why yes, I am motivated by fitness badges.
Tuesday-5.2 mile run + core + stretch
I finally nailed my outfit and was not too cold or too hot. It’s been a challenge lately with the wind and rain, etc. Today, it was about 36 degrees, cloudy and minimal wind. This Brooks vest was perfect. We had some fun stopping at the playground for a pic.
Wednesday-Peloton walk + upper & lower body strength + core + cycle
A good mix of everything today! Right now I am using my bike mostly for recovery rides post strength and not feeling like I need go all out on rides at the moment. I am enjoying pushing on strength right now on non run days.
So, I asked on my IG, when you have 5 reps to go…Do you count up 1,2,3,4,5 or down from 5 to 1? No right answer just curious! I tend to count up.
Thursday- 4.25 mile run + core + stretch
We started off February with a gorgeous, sunny and crisp morning. Having the sun shining on me is everything. Just makes my day!
Friday-Peloton walk + lower & upper body strength + foam rolling
Only an idiot would do a super hard lower body workout 2 days before her first race in a year. #WearRed day ❤️
We had an MRTT happy hour to celebrate our 11th birthday of our running group. These ladies just make me smile! I was so busy all day Saturday that I have not had time to add these photos yet!
Saturday-Rest Day
Rest day for me with a Peloton stretch or 2. We were running around all day! Ready or not I am running my first race in a long time Sunday. Needless to say, I am a little nervous. Erica suggested that I focus on a PR in smiles per miles and I love that idea! You know how much I loved a themed race opportunity.
I hope you smile a lot. That’s a great goal.
So hard to find the right outfit this time of year.
Congrats on your milestone.
Isn’t a running group the best? Happy anniversary.
yes the best don’t know what I would do without them
It looks like you had lots to celebrate this week! Congrats on hitting 2K on Peloton, happy anniversary to your running group, and an early congrats on your race today!
I also love that Brooks vest–I wore my pink one yesterday for my race and it was just the perfect piece for the conditions!
Thanks yes, a lot to celebrate this week. The vest is a perfect layering piece for temps in the 30’s
I do love a good running vest! Have so much fun setting that smile PR today! Love the heart leggings!
I did it! All smiles over here thanks
Love your race outfit and congrats on the 2K minutes! That’s great! We had quite a bit of sunshine this week as well, hoping for more this week.
Can’t wait to hear about your race!
Thanks it was a fun one and looking forward to more sunshine as well this week
Your race outfit is all that! Great color combo and a creative layout. I hope all went well & you PR’d the smiles 🙂
Thanks you know I love a good themed race, I definitely PR’d in smiles today
It was great weather for a February race this morning! I hope you are smiling and celebrating now!
Yes, all smiles and it was a gorgeous day for February
I hope you’re having a great time at your race today! Wish I was joining you!
You inspired me with your challenges and badges post a few weeks ago. I’d never signed up for any Strava challenges because I have a private account and didn’t think I’d be able to, but I am. I’ve been collecting badges like crazy for the past few weeks!
That is so great! They are motivating
I can’t wait to hear about the race- your outfit is amazing and I hope you smiled a LOT!
About counting the reps- I usually count up, but if it’s the last set and I’m struggling I’ll count down- 5,4,3,2,1. It helps!
I did really smile a lot! Thanks it was fun to be back out there. I count up usually bc it makes me feel more accomplished I think
Good luck at the race today!! hopefully it was fun and the weather was great. What a great goal 🙂 Congrats on 2K!! That’s amazing!!
thanks it was a lot of fun!
Congrats on 2k! That’s amazing. As you know, I am also very motivated by these badges 🙂
I love that you’ve been running with your running group for so long and that you’ve had your 11th anniversary! <3
They are a fabulous group and I don’t know what I would do without them (or what I did before them)
That race outfit is perfect! I’m glad you had a good time. Sounds like your running is going well. Keep it up!
I am starting to feel like my old self again 🙂 thanks
That race outfit was BRIGHT! I love it! And I hope you had a great run.
I was so happy just to be there running it!
Love the goal! I hope you have a fabulous time!
The sun shining always helps 🙂
I did have a great time thanks
