Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down today. After coming off such a fun weekend with so many of my favorite run bloggers, this week had me back to my schedule for a few days. Then, it was time for our much anticipated spring break trip. I am sailing into this week!
Sailing in to Spring Break
Monday- power walk + core + lower body strength + yoga conditioning
Back to my usual Monday strength routine. I’ve started doing some power walks as warm ups. Today, I tried one of the new yoga conditioning classes for upper body and really enjoyed it. It is much more challenging that a light weights with arms class (in my opinion). I look forward to trying some of the others.
Tuesday- 3 mile walk and stretch
Today was my echo stress test (finally!) I am happy to report that it was totally normal and that I am allowed to return to my normal running routine. It was a long and stressful few weeks and I am so relieved! Thank you all again for all your messages the last few weeks.
Wednesday 3 mile run + stretch
So happy to be back out there and not feeling worried about running. We had temps in the 80’s today coupled with getting used to my new meds was challenging. I am just grateful to be out there.
We celebrated Passover dinner at my sister’s house. Happy Passover to my friends that celebrate!
Thursday- Travel to St Thomas
We had an 8 am flight to St Thomas so we were up and out early! We are staying at a beautiful resort for 2 days before we embark on our cruise with some friends. I am so looking forward to relaxing!
Friday- barre + core + lower body strength
I try my best to keep up my fitness schedule while traveling. Of course, I cannot let that Peloton streak lapse. We spent the rest of the day lounging around by the pool reading. I’ve already finished my first book!
Saturday- core + barre + upper body strength and tread walk
I got in a solid hotel gym workout today before we headed over to board our cruise. We will be sailing around the British and US Virgin Islands for the next week. Really hoping I can relax a bit more! These last few weeks have been super stressful.
Happy Easter and Passover to all! Enjoy your day.

Marcia says
Have a wonderful trip Deborah! It sounds like it came at the perfect time. I’m so happy the stress echo came out great. I went through a potential heart issue awhile back that caused me to have a stress echo as well. Mine was due to an irregular EKG. Glad all is well!
Deborah Brooks says
I am very relieved that the tests came back normal. I do still have some issues that will need monitoring but being allowed to run is good
Chocolaterunsjudy says
Oh, you will absolutely relax and all that gorgeousness! I’ve only been to the US Virgin Islands — that was on our honeymoon (on a cruise) — so obviously a really long time ago.
Very happy that you got the all clear for running!
Deborah Brooks says
Me too thanks and looking forward to a week of relaxing
Jenny says

Deborah Brooks says
Yes I am relieved that my test came back normal. I still will have some issues to deal with but a good outcome. Trip is amazing so far
Liz Dexter says
So glad you’re OK and can run without worrying. Enjoy your cruise and, of course, reading!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much Liz!
Jessie says
Enjoy your relaxation! I haven’t ever done a cruise except the one to Antarctica. As long as they have a gym, you should be all set to keep up that Peloton streak.
Happy Passover!
Deborah Brooks says
Peloton streak going strong! Cruise is very relaxing and at a perfect time
Jenn says
I am so glad you had a wonderful weekend with friends, a great Passover, and now you’re off on adventure! Have the best time!
