Thanks for joining Kim and Me for the weekly run down. This week we are seeing signs of spring and things are blooming. I am gearing up for our ski vacation with nervous anticipation. Stay tuned for fun photos coming soon!
Seeing signs of spring Weekly Run Down
Sunday- 6.5 mile run + stretch + barre
I completely misjudged how quickly it would warm up and was so hot on my run. We had planned to run 7-8 miles but ran out of water and called it at 6.5. No worries it was a good training run and felt good.
Monday-Peloton walk + upper body strength + core + mobility and stretch
A little manic Monday over here with a few plumbing service calls. It’s always something right!? Other than that, my Monday is off to a strong start.
Tuesday-Peloton cycle + Peloton tread walks + stretch
I had a super early (for me) Dr. appointment this morning for blood work and my yearly physical. After the fasting and the 2 hour appointment, I was starving! I got off schedule because I missed my run group time so I opted for some Peloton cycle and tread classes. I’ve been neglecting my bike lately and it felt good to pedal it out.
I was happy to see my strength training is paying off as my “In Body” scan showed I gained 1.5 pounds of muscle since last year. That’s not easy to do at 54!
Hungry? Check out my spicy cucumber and edamame salad.

Wednesday-Peloton walk + lower body strength + core + stretch/mobility
I am still in Rebecca’s split strength program and love the challenge it continues to provide me.
Thursday-5 mile run + stretch & mobility
Turned out to be a beautiful day after all day rain yesterday. Things are starting to bloom and not look so dreary anymore. Also kind of obsessed with these new pink shoes which happen to be on sale.
Friday- Peloton walk x2 + lower body strength + core + stretch
I warmed up with a Peloton walk on the tread and then a heavy weights lower body strength. Later, an other Peloton walk. It was in the 60’s again today for a few hours so an afternoon walk with a friend was added in.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, I teamed up with a few of my friends (who you will recognize) to share something we love about our bodies.

Saturday- Peloton tread walk + cycle + stretch
Another rainy Saturday Around here. I slept in until 9 which was amazing then hit my gym for some Peloton. Spent the afternoon packing and getting ready to jet off to Colorado.
We have an early flight out to Aspen, Colorado this morning. Stay tuned for all the snowy, ski photos all week on IG.
Looks like a pretty good week – nice job with the runs and strength and other activities. Have fun in Colorado!
It was a pretty good week
Plumbing issues aside, it sounds like you had a solid week. Too hot?? We are not quite there yet but everything has buds, which is crazy early for us. I will take it! Safe travels!
It was really humid a couple of the days after the rain and felt so much warmer
Congrats on the muscle gain — that’s fantastic!!
Enjoy the skiing — and the apres-skiing! 😉 Should be good conditions!
Conditions are fabulous weather is perfect
Congrats. I’m glad your strength training has paid off. You look great.
Can’t wait to hear how the skiing goes. Enjoy.
Strength training definitely pays off and I feel so good when I do it
Sounds like a great week! That is great about the muscle gains too. Have a blast in Colorado!
thank you!
Have a great ski vacation!
That muscle gain is impressive showing that hard work does pay.
Hard work does pay off and I really enjoy doing it
I’m eagerly awaiting the “too hot” temps to arrive over here! It’s currently in the 20’s, but sunny (& the wind is playing nice, finally!). Safe travels!!!
We had a couple days that were weirdly hot for March
Have so much fun on your trip! Maybe I’ll pass you in the air on my way back to Chicago! :p
Thanks
Well, you’re obviously doing things right if you had that muscle gain. Hard work pays off!
Enjoy your ski trip! I can’t wait to hear all about it and see photos. Have fun : )
Strength training definitely pays off! I really enjoy it as well
That’s great news about your muscle growth! You’ve worked a lot at it!
So good to hear your running is going well and you actually had to cut the distance for another reason.
Enjoy your skiing trip! I look forward to seeing your photos.
Thanks I am happy about the muscle gain too
same same same on Sunday. How was I too warm in long sleeves in barely March. I forgot we both have that happy hour shirt. Almost wore it today
Yay on the muscle gain! Safe travels and can’t wait for all the pics
It was oddly hot that day!
Nice job on your muscle gain! Have a great trip!
Thanks Michelle
Yay Colorado!! I wish I was going there too. Have a great, safe ski trip! It will be so fun!
I always love Colorado too
I hope you have the best time in Colorado! It’s going to be so much fun!
It did get super warm here, but this week, the mornings are colder again. I don’t mind, except I want to go running on the beach, and that’s a little more complicated when it’s cold and windy.
You all have definitely had some odd weather swings this year!
Great job on the strength training! Those are motivating stats at any age! Wooho!
I am feeling good about them!
