Thanks for joining Kim and me for the weekly run down today. This was a week of mother’s day, anniversaries and birthdays which kept me a little busier. Also a great excuse to treat myself to a few more desserts and glasses of wine. Here’s a peek into my week of workouts.
A week of anniversaries and birthdays
Monday-45 min cycle + 30 min bootcamp + afternoon 3.5 mile walk
A little slow to start but finally got my butt in gear. These boot camps are tough.
Tuesday-5 mile run + stretch class
Headed back over to one of our favorite trails and had a few minutes of running bliss. Cannot wait to get back here with my crew.
Wednesday-45 min cycle + core class + 2.75 m afternoon walk
Celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary today. How did that go by so fast? I figure if we can make it through this whole situation, we can survive anything! My husband usually travels a lot and I don’t think we have ever spent this much time together before!
Thursday- core class, hips stretch, arms strength training + 2 mile afternoon walk
Woke up with a really sore back. I am guessing from moving our patio furniture around. Decided to skip my run and take it easier. Did not even take a photo all day! Who am I?
Friday-45 min intervals and arms cycle + 15 min core + 3.2 afternoon walk
Back was still feeling a little tight so took it easy on the strength training. Celebrated by son’s 20th birthday. Tried to make the most of things and he was a pretty good sport about it.
Saturday- power washed the deck for 2 hours + evening stretch class
Woke up to summer! Decided it was the day to get our deck in order. I had fun power washing (for the first hour at least!). Back is feeling a little better. Zoom call with some of the bog regulars to catch up.
Sunday- on the plan 5 mile run + yoga
The rose garden is still closed but got these great shots from right outside the fence. I signed up to do a body rolling and fascia massage class. Should feel great!
That’s my weekly run down for a busy week of anniversaries and birthdays. Hope to see you tomorrow for meatless Monday. I will be sharing a oh so yummy One Pan Creamy Sun Dried tomato & spinach Tortellini. Thanks for linking up!
Happy anniversary, Deborah! Did you do anything special? We’ll be married 27 years next Friday. I agree it’s incredible how time flies.
Congrats to your son as well. It must be hard to turn 20 and not being able to throw a big party.
Your trail looks beautiful!
Well unfortunately my area is still under stay at home orders so nothing too special. We ordered from a yummy place and had some nice wine. Will celebrate at a future time. Thanks for the well wishes
Happy anniversary and happy birthday to your son.
A very beautiful trail!
Thanks so much! Busy week around here
Happy Anniversary! I hope that you did something special. I love your “socal liftancing” shirt.
Thanks we will put off our anniversary celebration until a later date when we can get out to a nice restaurant
Awesome job on all your workouts this week and happy wedding anniversary!
Happy birthday to your son! Please welcome him to the quarantine birthday club, lol. It’s hard to have a birthday during this time but at least he was able to celebrate it with family!
It is hard to have a birthday or a big celebration right now. Just kind of feels off.
Happy Anniversary! COVID has made all the celebrations a real challenge. It’s been weird having the Caveman home 24/7 as well. What really surprised me is how much he enjoys it. That is a gorgeous trail!
The celebrations do feel weird right now for sure. I think my husband was ok w staying home at first but is now getting a little stir crazy as we all are
I am loving all your fun workout shirts, lol! I can’t believe there’s already a social distancing shirt! I love that photo of the Rose Garden. I miss going to the Botanic Garden here.
Happy anniversary! It was great to “see” you yesterday.
I am digging deep into my stash of fun shirts to keep myself entertained! The rose garden is gorgeous right now even from outside the fence
Busy week (and productive) week for you! I’d love to see that rose garden in person sometime (cough cough…).
Well I hope you can come back and visit sometime I would love that!
Except for the sore back, sounds like a fantastic week! Enjoy that rolling class today. I have DVDs for that sort of rolling, yet I never seem to make time for it.
I can see why you love that trail! Almost all our trails are so technical (or muddy).
The yoga rolling felt good.I do not take the time to do those types of classes very often either but it really felt nice
Happy belated anniversary and happy belated birthday to your son! With an exception of a late September birthday, of the six of us all have birthdays are between November and February so we haven’t had to celebrate a birthday during the pandemic.
That rose garden is beautiful! Where is it?
As always, thanks for the linkup! Have a great week!
Yes both of my kids had quarantine birthdays! The rose garden in in Arlington near bluemont park right off of the WOD
Happy anniversary! 25 years is amazing, and yes if you can survive this you can handle anything that comes at you. Sorry your trip get fizzled out.
Glad your back is trending in the right direction. Gorgeous roses. There’s a similar patch near the highway where I walk and I was surprised how their spring flowers were flourishing and I realized it was the general lack of pollution given reduced traffic.
Always great to chat
It was great to see everyone on Zoom yesterday. All the flowers are in full bloom everywhere so it’s fun to try to find new spots to enjoy them from afar
Happy anniversary! Amazing! And happy birthday to your son too.
You had some awesome workouts this week- way to go!
Thanks for hosting the link-up!
Thanks feels odd to be celebrating so many milestones while locked in the house!
Happy Anniversary! That looks like a beautiful rose garden. I can imagine many people are looking forward for it to be open again. Take care of your back. It is no fun having to endure pain.
Thanks my back is feeling better today just needed to pull back a bit I guess.
Happy anniversary! My husband and I will hit 25 years in February. It’s been interesting to have him gone during this whole thing but, well, we’ve been doing it for a while now so it’s basically NBD. It’s probably for the best. If he had just come home and suddenly we were stuck with each other 24-7, we might not have made it. LOL. We need to re-acclimate to life together all the time when he comes back home.
What a pretty trail! And that rose garden is beautiful! I need to tell my mom about that. She’s a master gardener and would love that sort of thing.
Hope you loved that rolling and fascia massage class!
Well it’s been a weird adjustment having him 24-7 as well. He usually travels quite a bit and has lots of dinner meetings. 25 years os a long time isn’t it?!
I’ve been enjoying my neighbor’s roses! So now both your kids have had quarantine birthdays! And you anniversary. Sheesh! I hope power washing didn’t aggravate your back.
yes lots of quarantine celebrations! I think the power washing was ok just needed to stretch out feeling better today
Happy anniversary! We are the same way- J travels so much and works so late most nights I rarely see him. We’ve definitely seen a heck of a lot more of each other these past 6 ish weeks! Really puts things into perspective! I feel like a lot of couples will either come out of this stronger or more annoyed with each other haha.
I know I mentioned this on your Insta but I really love all your workout room quotes. 🙂
Yes it’s a big adjustment for lots of couples! thanks all the decor motivates me for sure
Happy anniversary and birthday to your son – what an fun week of celebrating! Our family is similar: anniversary and our daughter’s birthday all within one week. I hope your back feels better this week!
Thanks and yes my back is already feeling better
Happy 25th Anniversary! Hopefully, once the panic of COVID settles down you’ll be able to really celebrate!
I hope your back is feeling better. Great to see you yesterday 🙂
I hope so too something to look forward to! great to see you as well
That garden looks so beautiful. No rose here yet…we just got tulips.
May is busy for us too. My birthday and my hubby’s.
Hope your back is feeling better.
It is feeling better today thanks!
Happy Anniversary! Ron and I are celebrating our anniversary tomorrow. And when I say celebrate I mean we’ll both be working all day. We hope to get some take out from our favorite restaurant as a sort of celebration. Not the same but these are weird times.
That sounds just like how we celebrated 🙂 Happy anniversary to you as well
Happy Anniversary! Mine’s tomorrow 18 years, it seems like yesterday we were star crossed kids. Looks like you had a great week!
Happy anniversary to you both as well!
Happy anniversary and happy birthday to your son! I bet its so hard for kids that age to deal with all this. I’m sure he would like to be celebrating with his friends. Great week of workouts!
Yes it was not his favorite way to celebrate for sure! He is used to being w his frat brothers
Happy Anniversary. A good week, and lovely to see you on the Zoom call. I had a super run with Mary Ellen on Sunday – so slow when I looked at the stats, so lovely to be with someone!
Who cares about the pace! You are out there and w a friend enjoy it
Sounds like a nice quiet week. Happy Monday!!
thanks hope you have a great week ahead
What a beautiful garden!! And happy anniversary and happy b-day to your son! We are still in the process of opening our pool. It looks clean enough, but I think it’s only 60 degrees in the water so nothing much is happening there. This weekend should be great to lounge around and maybe drink a margarita 🙂
We have the same situation with our pool but it’s nice to look at!
Wow!!! Happy anniversary to you, Deborah! That’s a big one, too!
It’s really great that you have a nice trail nearby. I live next to Rock Creek, and my little getaways are all overrun with people not social distancing 🙁 I’ve had to travel a bit further.
Happy anniversary! 25 years is incredible! And happy birthday to your son! i know it wasn’t ideal, but next year will be better!
You’ll be back out there on those trails before you know it. I hope it’s (safely) sooner rather than later, but I understand the urge. This has just been so hard. <3
Thanks so much!
I usually run on the WOD but it’s been way to busy for me but I hopped on right where this path intersects for a few minutes.
Happy anniversary! Hopefully you’ll be able to have a nice trip when the world opens up again! I hope your back is feeling better this week.
I sure hope so!
Happy happy anniversary! Hope you can do something fun to celebrate when everything opens up again – we also had an anniversary a few weeks ago and just ordered in.
I hope so too for both of us
