Thanks for joining Kim and me for the weekly run down today. I cannot believe I am only 1 week away from the Wine Glass Half in Corning. I was supposed to run this race last year and then it went virtual. Up until this week, I still was not sure it would happen. But, here we are! I created a taper schedule for myself and I am proud to say I stuck to it. Here’s a peek into my week.
1 Week Until Wine Glass
Monday- full body strength + core + Peloton cycle + stretch
I do love a good Monday motivation workout. A little bit of everything for me today just the way I like it.
Tuesday- 4 mile run + stretch
A shorter and faster run today. I hear fall is on the way but it was still pretty warm and humid out there. I did break out the new Brooks Method Capri pants to make sure that they were comfy for race day.
Wednesday- Peloton cycle + upper body + core
That day I got to be a Peloton model. The folks at Peloton contacted me a few weeks ago to ask if I wanted to test out a few items from the new fall apparel line. Yes, please!! They sent me a really nice hoodie, tights, and a tank. I know I will wear them often.
We also attended the Van Gogh exhibit. It was really interesting and different. I would say I liked it but did not love it. The virtual reality experience was really nice.
Thursday- 4.5 mile run + stretch
Woke up to crazy rain and a bit of thunder but we waited it out and got outside after all. We started in light drizzle and finished in bright sunshine. Is this the storm that ushers in the fall weather we are promised? I hope so!
Friday- Peloton cycle + 2.5 mile walk + upper body and core
We woke up to a gorgeous fall morning. Finally! I had to take advantage with a walk. I see my daily walks making a comeback again and I am all for it.
My daughter and her boyfriend are visiting for the weekend. I am so happy to have her home again if only for the weekend.
Saturday- Rest Day
Sunday- On the plan 6 miles
Continuing to taper for next weekend’s race. I can’t believe Wine Glass is only a week away!
The weather really changed this week and I am loving it! I was also really unsure if my race next week would happen, since I hadn’t heard anything about it until Friday. And then MCM getting cancelled was not a good sign! Great job this week!
I know I was worried when I saw MCM. Excited for both of us next week
Another great week, Deborah! Gotta say, your workout gear is SO awesome! Bright colors and funky patterns, what’s not to love? Brooks and Peloton for the (double) win! Enjoy your mommy/daughter time <3
Thanks on both so far so good!
How lucky are you to get the Peloton gear? I love the hoody. Looks like you are so ready for your race. Excited for you! I hope this beautiful weather holds out for it.
Thanks feeling good about the race and very thankful for my Peloton gear as well
Same same on fall daily walks. We had the same rain later Thursday and oh magic sleeping!
Brooks’ color palette is so fun this fall. I saw I think those capris or very similar at JackRabbit and they’re probably going to happen once I fin ish my closet purge.
I need another closet purge as well!
I think you’re going to have a great race! It’s supposed to heat up again here this week but this past week was SO nice and cool! 40’s overnight yes please! Love the fun Peloton gear! Have so much fun this weekend with your daughter. I well know how precious that time together is.
Yes, I know you know how great it is when they come home to visit. Excited and slightly nervous for race day
Oh, I love that new Peloton tank + tights. So sweet that they selected you. Do you think they’ve taken note of your IG posts — you always post great photos!
Have fun with your daughter and good luck with Wineglas!!!!!
I am assuming that is how they found me so I guess it pays off! Thanks I am excited for next weekend
You have the best outfits.
So excited for your half…almost as much as you are.
ha thanks good luck to you as well! We definitely need to run a race together at some point
Another solid week, now you are ready for a great race!
I remember when I visited the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam: amazing!
Enjoy the time with your daughter.
Thanks I am excited to get up there for the race weekend
You are the perfect Peloton model!!! Those clothes are awesome.
Sounds like everything is on track for a great race next weekend, including the weather. I’m looking forward to hearing all about it.
Thanks so much Jenny I am really excited!
Looks like you had another great week! And I will echo what others have said, I love your outfits!
Ha thanks during Pandemic times, I got really into the outfit thing to entertain myself
Great week Deborah! Love the Peloton gear – so fun that they reached out to you. Excited for you to be racing next weekend – hope you get some great fall weather!
Thanks I am really excited for next weekend!
Wow! Just one week until Wineglass? I didn’t know it was coming up so soon.
The Van Gogh exhibit sounds interesting, especially the virtual experience part.
I know this race came quickly! Well, not really bc it was deferred from last year but you know lol
How fun to get the Peloton gear for modeling!
Yes it was a nice little surprise!
Love your capris for the race, and the Peleton stuff they sent you, excellent! It’s hard to believe things are going to happen, isn’t it – London marathon is next weekend and my friends who are running it didn’t really believe it would actually happen …!
Yes we were all wondering if London and the other big races would happen. We just had a bunch canceled here in DC
Oops, hit post (above) before I meant to… Happy taper week and have a blast at Wine Glass Half!
Thanks so much Deb!
How neat you were picked to model Peloton gear! You must have a ton- now you have more 🙂
Good luck on your half!
Yes, I do have a gear accumulation issue :). Thanks excited to get up there this week
Hooray for the family visit this weekend! I love the gear from Peloton! You make a great model 🙂 I love the color of the Brooks capris too. So vibrant!
thanks so much Lisa!
Happy you finally got some Fall weather, too! It’s looking good for your race. Fingers crossed.
Sweet to test out Peloton gear!
Enjoy your family time this weekend.
Thanks Judy! I am really excited to get up there later this week
I can’t believe it’s just a week away! I have lost all track of time, really. Races are coming around that I ran last year, and I can’t wrap my head around the fact that it has been one year! time to get out of that mindset.
You’ve had some great training and you will do great!
Thanks Jenn I am looking forward to heading up this weekend
