Thanks for joining Kim and Me for the Weekly Run Down. We continue to have some amazing fall weather around here and I am all for it. I’m running into November which looks to be a busy month ahead. We’ve got birthdays, family events, Thanksgiving, and of course some travel. More on that later. Here’s a peek into my week of running and fitness.
Running into November
Monday- core + upper & lower body strength + Peloton cycle + 15 m of hip yoga
I was happy to be back to my heavier weights for lower body strength. Starting my Monday off with a hard workout always gets me in a good mood.
Tuesday- 5.5 mile run + stretch + 15 min yoga for hips
It was warm and humid today but the leaves were at full peak which made for a gorgeous run. I am happy to be getting back into my groove with pacing and distance.
Wednesday- upper & lower body strength + core + yoga for hips & feet
One of those strength workouts I know I am going to feel tomorrow-in a good way. My feet enjoyed a 10 minute yoga for feet class. I decided to step out of my activewear for a normal person photo. The trees are just beautiful here this week.
Thursday-5 mile run + stretch + core
It was a gorgeous albeit warm day. I felt really good out there today and happy to be running into November.
Friday-lower & upper body strength + core + yoga for hips + PT appt.
Good strength session today with heavy weights. My PT is really happy with my progress and my hips seem to be more in alignment. I am on an as needed basis and cleared for speed work. Yay! I have a few more days of my yoga for hips challenge. Full review coming soon.
Saturday- Rest Day and stretch
It was so gorgeous out, I took a little neighborhood stroll. Other than that, rest day.
Sunday-On the plan 6 mile run
Looks to be another unseasonably warm day. I plan to do 6 miles and keep on running into November.
Glad you’ve been able to enjoy the outdoors. This fall has been nice. We had unseasonably warm weather here too most of the week but yesterday, the wind blew that all away! Most of the leaves are down now too.
Have a great week!
the leaves were just beautiful this week although it was a lot warmer. Feels good to be outside for sure
Yay! Glad to hear you’re feeling better. have a good 6 miler today and enjoy the warm weather and beautiful leaves!
thanks definitely feeling better! It was a little too warm today 🙂
Happy to hear you are feeling better v
Love the normal clothes pic.
Our leaves are past peak. Your foliage pics are lovely.
Enjoy your run. It’s warm here too.
We probably have a few more days of the leaves before they all fall. There is something peaceful about running on the crunchy leaves
It certainly was a gorgeous week and it sounds like you made the most of it as did I. I just checked this coming week’s forecast and it sounds like we’ll have more seasonable weather after today.
I love the picture of you from Wednesday!
thanks! Yes, looks like we are going to be cooler this week. It was a little too hot this morning!
So glad you are running strong again! It was a great week for it, if oddly warm and humid!
Do you have any more races this year?
It was a little too warm and humid this morning! No more races until probably Feb just trying to keep my base up
Lovely photos, I especially like your normal person photo!
Glad that the Yoga & PT seem to be doing its job. Congrats — it’s hard work, I know.
Thanks and yes, it is a lot of work to keep everything up and running 🙂
Glad you’re feeling so much better! Getting back you one’s normal routine is rewarding, and euphoric 😉
You’re right there is nothing like it
Soak up that mild weather while you can! Glad your hips are responding to the PT. Alignment and strength are so important for hips! I swear it takes a village sometimes. Haha!
It sure does take a lot of work to keep things up and running the right way doesn’t it?!
Glad everything is feeling good! I’ll be interested to hear your review of yoga for hips.
Yes, your fall colors are beautiful! I guess it was pretty warm everywhere this week. Personally, I’d like to see some more fall-like weather…
We had great fall weather for a few weeks then this week it was hot again. I am ready for real fall!
So happy to hear that the PT is helping – that’s great news!
I enjoyed the unseasonably warm temps this weekend – I think we have one more day of it and then it’s back to normal lol.
I am kind of ready for actual November temps myself!
You had a great week. Glad you’re feeling better!
thanks me too! Injuries are no fun at all
Another beautiful week with beautiful fall colors. I love it.
Glad you got a little rest towards the end of the week, and I hope your November continues to be free of injury and pain!
We had a really nice streak of fall weather last week.
Other than being a little too warm for marathoning (haha!) the weather was gorgeous last week. I’m sad to see all of the leaves being raked up in piles now. I miss the beautiful colors! Glad to hear you are making such great progress and your PT is happy!
Yes, it was way too warm for marathons and half marathons!
