Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween. Kind of felt weird this year not to have any kids around or have any trick or treaters. Add that to the 2020 list! This week was all about more miles and more sleep. Who doesn’t love that extra hour today!
A more miles and more sleep week
Monday-10 min strength for runners + 60 bike boot camp
Always start the week strong. Loving these bike boot camps on Mondays.
Tuesday-4.5 mile run+ stretch class + 10 min restorative yoga
Felt good to add a little bit more miles to my weekday run. Did a restorative yoga class for a change.
Wednesday-Core class + Upper body strength + hip/glute strength + 2.5 mile walk
A lighter workout day here keeping up with all the glute and hip strength work.
Thursday-45 min Peloton cycle
It was absolutely pouring today so decided to move my run to Friday.
Friday-4 mile run
It might not feel like Halloween this year but I could not let the day pass without putting on my cape. Running in costume is always fun!
Saturday- rest day
Yup taking a true rest day this week with just a short stretch.
Sunday- RunDay 6 miles
Longest run in a while! Must have been the torrential rain and wind. Once I was soaked, I just kept going.
Slowly upping my mileage back up has been working well. More miles and more sleep is a great combo!
Win for the week is making it through without even one piece of Halloween candy! Slowly adding back more miles is feeling good. More sleep is always welcome too. What’s your win for the week?
Hope to see you Friday for The Ultimate Coffee Date!
You had a great week of workouts, Wonder Woman! We missed most of the Halloween excitement up at the lake, but we did have a couple of trick or treaters!
NO trick or treaters at all this year but that’s ok!
Glad your week went well!! My big win was yesterday’s outdoor run, in the sunshine, with all the runner’s high feels 😉
yay so glad that you got back out there!
Great week of workouts, Deborah!
Our little neighborhood had a Halloween parade and we all set up tables at the end of our driveways and prepackaged the candy so no little hands went into baskets of candy. It was lots of fun and we’re thinking of doing that going forward!
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
that is a great idea! Glad the kids still got to enjoy the day over there
Great week for you and hooray for 6 miles! Bonus points for doing it in the rain! We had one tiny trick or treater here. Makes me glad I didn’t buy much candy. Thanks for the linkup!
I did not want to get stuck with candy right now so I did not buy any!
Loving your leggings this week (as ever!). I got absolutely soaked on my lower half running on Saturday – my jacket kept me dry on top but everything else, not so much!
yeah it happens to the best of us! I don’t really mind the rainy runs once in a while
Another awesome week of workouts for you. I love that you wore our Wonder Woman outfit for a run this week – way to get in the spirit!
I put candy out for any trick or treaters that stopped by but I think we only received a handful fo trick or treaters – I was glad that most people stayed home.
I used to wear my costume every year for the girls on the run kids they loved it. What are you going to do with your candy? ha ha Glad I don’t have any to tempt me 🙂
Lol, we almost went the week without any candy, because we didn’t buy any until right before trick or treat time;-) That was a close one!
Congrats on your 6 miler in the rain! The amount of rain we had this week would have been perfect for the summer but when it’s below 40 it’s just a no – go.
Yeah I am ok w the rain if it’s not too cold. Sometimes I have my best runs in it go figure!
Nice work on the 6 miler! That must have felt great. We didn’t participate in the trick or treating though our neighbors seems to have found ways to do it safely. Since we don’t have kids, we opted out this time. All the holidays are unique in 2020, that’s for sure! Probably good for me not to have a ton of candy in the house, haha!
so helpful not to have candy in the house! I have will power but that stuff calls my name. Yes felt great to get in 6 miles today
That Wonder Woman costume always makes me smile! Great on the miles and sleep. My sleep has been off this week. I’m waking up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep. I still seem to be getting enough rest, though, so who knows.
I have weeks like that as well!
Can someone tell my toddler that you’re supposed to spend the extra hour sleeping? Ugh. Its been a rough few days. We’ve been putting him to bed later but he’s still waking up early. Hoping he adjusts soon! Glad you were able to run a little more this week!
oh yeah I do remember those days! Their bodies have their own clocks for sure
Sounds like a good week! We did have Halloween around here but much more subdued. We typically have hundreds of trick or treaters, but this year we had less than 100 and just kept candy on a table for people to grab. We did hit up a few houses with the kids and it was fun — at 2 and 4 they are just starting to get into it so I’m glad we were able to safely go out. We stopped at many houses with candy chutes, tables set up, candy robots (there was a house using toy robots to deliver candy!!) and clotheslines of treat bags.
More sleep sounds so good, unfortunately neither of us slept well last night. Except Bandit.
Ugh to running in the rain though! Up here, at least, that would be a very cold rain (or snow) right now. Well, not right this minute. But cold, still.
I would feel way too self conscious to just run in a costume! There were actually quite a few trick or treaters out when we left to go to the vet. We had to be careful. I’m sure it wasn’t as many as usual, though.
I actually did not see anyone trick or treating around here this year! It’s fun to run in costume a few times a year
More miles and sleep for the win, and wholly giggling at that candy/mask meme.
Not that your photos aren’t always gorgeous, but that one on the mat looking back at the camera is especially stunning
Congrats on another solid week.
Ah thanks Cari 🙂
Great week Deborah! More miles and more sleep do sound like a great combo. My sleep has been terrible lately, but I’m hoping to turn that around.
Thanks for the link-up!
It really makes all the difference for me when I get some extra sleep. Hope you have a better week of sleep
I usually skip rainy runs. I mean if its light I’m ok. But I definitely don’t run when it’s pouring haha! You’re definitely braver than I am.
I really want to try one of those bike boot camps! I’ll have to try one once I feel a little more comfortable with cycling.
yes they are fun and a nice change of pace
I love your costume! I’ve always wanted to do a Wonder Woman race just so I could wear a costume like that. 🙂
That is great on your 6 miles! And kudos to you for running in the rain and wind. Those two together is not a good combo for me.
I felt so good running that I didn’t mind the rain too much!
I have been stress eating through all our candy and I’m not even sorry about it lol.
A had a hard time this week. I think everything just hit at once. He had a nice Halloween and weekend, but I’m determined to make the rest of the year fabulous.
You had a great week, too! I love all the strengthening you’ve been doing!
It’s a good time of the year to work on those goals!
Woah, no candy? We had about half of a big bag left and it’s rapidly disappearing each day 🙂 Good job on that rainy run. The weather was crazy here on Sunday – there was even sputters of snow happening!
that is crazy!
