Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down. Happy New friends! I am running right out of 2021 and into this new year. Here’s a peek into my fitness routine for the last week of the year.
Running Out Of 2021
Monday- Full body strength + core + Peloton cycle + stretch
Happy to be back home and back on my bike. I wonder if she missed me as much as I missed her? Hit it hard today with 60 min of strength and stretch followed by 30 min Taylor Swift Peloton class. I loved singing along to all the fun music.
Tuesday- 6 mile run + 2 mile walk + core + stretch
Happy to be back with my #RunnerGirlGang and perfect temps to knock out a 10K. I caught up with another friend for a 2 mile coffee walk and then headed out for an afternoon hair appointment.
Wednesday- full body strength + core + stretch
I overslept a bit today and got a later start. I ended up with about only 45 minutes of strength today and no cardio. It’s all good though.
Thursday- 6.2 mile run + core + stretch
Running out of 2021 with my last run of the year. It was a little drizzly and quite humid at first. That did not stop us. I felt pretty good out there and ended my run feeling grateful and content. Running healthy was a terrific gift this year and I am always thankful to receive it. I am ending the year feeling stronger and more fit than a year ago and that’s all I can ask for.
Friday- core + lower body + upper body and Peloton cycle+ stretch
I finished the year strong with a little bit of everything today. I liked the Taylor Swift ride so much that I took that one again. It took me way longer than it should have to create this reel but it was fun to do.

We went out with some friends for a low key dinner and were happy to be seated in our own small room off to the side. I stayed up way past my bed time but it was fun to be out. One of our sillier photos!
Saturday- Rest Day Stretch
Honoring my usual Saturday rest day and stretch,
Sunday- On the plan 8 miles
I am running right out of 2021 and straight into 2022. Starting the New Year with some base building again for my March half marathon,
Happy New Year everyone! Looking forward to another year of the Weekly Run Down.
Wendy says
It’s been another interesting year, hasn’t it? You certainly crushed it and your hard work really paid off. I made a reel for IG too, and yeah, it took me way longer than it should have, lol. I’m going to need a tutorial or something to make it a little easier.
Happy New Year, Deborah!
Deborah Brooks says
I know I don’t know people are banging these out everyday! I really don’t love them to begin with!
Melissa says
Lots of great workouts this week! Looks like a great way to close out 2021. Love the silly photo from NYE, and those leggings!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks everyone needs a pair of champagne leggings in their wardrobe!
Chocolaterunsjudy says
Sounds like you had a great week, Deborah! Looking forward to some Taylor Swift on Peloton at some point.
How nice to have your own room in the restaurant!
You had a terrific year in running, and looking forward to what 2022 holds for you.
Deborah Brooks says
Definitely try out the TS classes they are fun if you like her music. I am excited for the year ahead as well happy new year to you!
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
You had such a good year of workouts and fun activities! It’s been great following along. Here’s to a healthy, happy, and fit 2022!
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
Deborah Brooks says
thanks Deb wishing you a healthy and happy 2022 as well
Coco says
The TS ride is still on my list of rides to take. I needed a break from the playlist after the first burst of classes.
We had family over for NYE – first my SIL for lunch, then my Mom, Aunt and Uncle for dinner. I do love your champagne leggings!
I’m so glad you’re able to be starting 2022 strong!
Deborah Brooks says
You never know what running will bring you but when it’s good, you have to embrace it!
Marcia says
You are all so festive and fun in that NYE pic! Way to finish out the year strong and feeling great! Don’t even let me start about reels. I am a total novice!
Deborah Brooks says
We did have fun on NYE. I am happy to be starting strong and motivated. Reels are frustrating and I kind of wish they would go away
Darlene says
What a productive year you had. I’m so inspired.
Love reading about your runs and workouts. Mostly I love your colorful outfits. Lol
Can’t wait see what 2022 brings.
Happy new year.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks Darlene I do love my colorful outfits. Let’s take on 2022 strong!
Kimberly Hatting says
I’m not a huge Swiftie fan, but I have that Feelin’ 22 song on permanent repeat in my head right now. Not a bad thing, but I can’t make it stop. I love your NYE pic! You certainly rocked the week (in pink and purple, BTW), looking great! Happy New Year 😉
Deborah Brooks says
Ha that song does get stuck in my head too! Feeling ready to take on 22
Black Knight says
A lots of great workouts this week and throughout the year. I am sure you will run a fast half marathon in march.
I like the “silly” photo. I cannot do the same because I am teetotal: I know, I know I am missing one of the best pleasure of life!
Deborah Brooks says
No not at all! I actually do not drink that often maybe a glass of wine every 2 weeks. I just don’t feel that great when I do and it’s not good for my waistline
Jenny says
Wow, your NYE was way more festive than mine! Obviously I need a pair of champagne leggings.
Sounds like you had a great week, and a great year. And, a strong start to 2022. Nice to have a race on the calendar already- hope your run today was great!
Deborah Brooks says
Everyone needs at least one pair of champagne leggings! Happy new year Jenny
Michelle D. says
Strong finish to a strong year for you! Those champagne leggings are just too cute 🙂 Happy New Year Deborah!
Deborah Brooks says
thanks Michelle! Everyone needs at least one pair of champagne themed leggings
Jessie says
Happy New Year! Love your friend’s gold ensemble, really cute. Looks like a fun night!
Glad you had a happy and healthy fit year Deb! Thanks for hosting the link-up for us all to stay connected.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks Jessie and these are my most favorite posts of the week to read and write. Happy new year
Jenn says
I love your fancy dinner photos! New Year’s Eve is the one night I don’t like to go out, so we normally just stay in.
2022 is going to be a good year. I think we just take it nice and easy and hope for the best.
Deborah Brooks says
That sounds good to me!
Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
Happy New Year! Fun picture of NYE, looks like a great time was had by all! I had to Google the “feeling 22” reference. I guess I’m not much of a Taylor Swift fan (or I live under a rock. haha!). I look forward to another year of doing these link ups so I can enjoy reading all of the blogs and staying connected. Thanks for doing it!
Deborah Brooks says
We are happy to have you! These are always fun posts to read and write
Kim G says
Happy New Year! As you know, I love those champagne leggings – they are just so festive and fun!
I’m really hoping for a whole lot of normalcy in 2022 – nothing flashy, I just hope that things will start to feel less stressful.
Deborah Brooks says
that would really be just fantastic!
