Thanks for joining Kim and me for The Weekly Run Down today. It’s been a week of new fitness challenges that have kept me motivated and moving. It was a week of a new RunBet challenge and new yoga for hips challenge.Here’s a peek into my week.
Monday-10. min core + 45 min Bike Bootcamp + 15 min yoga for hips
This week I started another 2 week Yoga For Hips Challenge with Sytera yoga. I feel so much better when I force myself to do it. This week also started a new RunBet that I am hosting again. This time around, we have 200 runners which makes things a lot more fun. Also cannot say enough about how much I love the Bike Boot Camps what a workout!
Tuesday-3.75 mlle run/walk + 15 min yoga for hips
Wednesday-20 m core + 20 m arm/shoulder strength + Barre class + 20 m cycle + 2 m walk + yoga for hips
Love the motivation to get out for my afternoon walk almost daily to get credit for my RunBet challenge. I am also in a good point in my audible book “Big Summer” that I only listen to when I walk.
Thursday- 4 mile run/walk + 10m m core + 15 m yoga for hips
I am slowing increasing my run/walk mileage and I am up to 4 miles. It is still challenging with the 4:1 intervals but I feel like I am making progress.

Friday-10 m core + 15 min yoga hips + 30 min elliptical
A short and low key workout day for me. Never did get outside due to annoying service people all day long.
Saturday- 30 min interval and arms cycle + 10 m core + 15 min yoga for hips + 2 m afternoon walk
Slept in and got a later start to my workouts.
Sunday- on the plan 4 mile run/walk + core + 15 min Yoga for hips
It was a week of new fitness challenges that really kept me motivated. Are you participating in any new fitness challenges?
Nice week for you! I’ll be dialing back this week for recovery from my week. Today I have yoga on tap. Looking forward to it!
good idea! Can’t wait to hear about your race
Awesome week for you!! 200 peeps in your Runbet challenge? YOWZA! I’m so happy to hear your running (with intervals) is going well 😉 Excellent progress!
It’s going very slow and steady but so happy to be pain free
I really love RunBet for their flexibility. Walking is totally an option so new/injured runners can participate. Good luck to the 200!
That is what I love about it too. Allows for so many people of different levels to participate and hit their goals
Even with a “light” week, it sounds like a good variety this week, Deborah.
Contractors can be really annoying!
Obviously I’m participating in the run/walk for Ruth. Next week there probably will be some running. 🙂
Variety certainly keeps me interested and moving!
Awesome week! Love your Thursday hair. I guess it’s just because your pics are usually with it up, I didn’t realize how long it had gotten. Looks amazing.
I was just saying to a friend that I need to do another step or runbet to get some external motivation since internal loses out to being snug as a bug in a rug
Yes I do always have my hair up in photos, I just went a little darker for fall too. I will let you know when the next Runbet starts I love the motivation
I’m hopefully running a half-marathon distance on Thursday because I’ve got a week off and want to visit a Lego giraffe (as you do). And I will be getting a workout moving stuff around the house to make the whole both of us working from home thing a little bit easier … Great strong photos and well done for a good week.
Good luck with your half this week! Hope you have a friend to join you. miles always go by faster that way
Awesome week as always! I’m glad that you are loving the bike bootcamps. I think that Peloton really knocked it out of the park with these because all I’ve heard is positive things about it.
So cool that you have so many people in your RunBet! I usually do StepBet games throughout the year. I like the way the games are set up because it really gives me motivation to get in my daily steps.
Yes exactly I love how the game is set up so that I can walk or run. I pretty much bailed on week 4 of PZ so not my thing.
Congrats on your run bet.
I signed up for RGB but already done.
Ran a virtual half yesterday in NH. So fun since we didn’t race it.
That’s a fun way to do it with friends
My workouts have been on autopilot lately, which isn’t a bad thing. I do need to get the Holiday Challenged all planned out. Glad to hear your build-back has been smooth so far. THanks for the linkup!
thanks very slow but smooth so I cannot complain
How did I miss signing up for the RunBet Challenge? Wow, 200 people? That is great!! Glad to see you running more.
will make sure to let you know when the next one starts! Should be end of October,
Wow that’s a lot of people in the RunBet challenge! I’ve never done one before – I didn’t know they were open to runners AND walkers! Congrats on your pain free runs. I’ve been having some plantar fasciitis issues for a whiel and can’t wait until that is gone.
oh PF is the worst! Doesn’t seem like it’s always something?!
Great job!
No new fitness challenges this week. I am chipping away at my Best Damn Race Oregon Challenge, and that’s quite enough for now. It’s a huge commitment.
Loved to see all your workouts this week! So glad you are getting more time with friends out there!
Thanks I am so happy to be having more friend time too
That’s a big run bet group! I’m doing the coretober challenge, but sort of stepping back from a strict plan this month. Glad your return to running is going well, even if you are having to be patient!
Yes I am just really happy that I am not in pain in anymore and hopefully the rest will just happen
Great week for you! It’s always good to have a challenge or two to keep you motivated, right? I’m focusing on the Core-Tober Peloton challenge this month.
It sure is!
200 people, that’s amazing! What a great idea.
So, so glad to hear the build back has been pain-free!
Thanks for hosting the link-up!
me too fingers crossed I can keep it up!
Great job getting back into doing yoga for hips! I bet that feels great. How awesome that you have so many people doing the RunBet!
The yoga for hips has really been helpful!
I start my 4-minute run/2-minute walk intervals tomorrow after a month of 3/3. Wish me luck! Ugh, don’t you hate service contractors taking up your whole day!
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
Yes good luck to you w your intervals!
Oh, yes, I’m doing my half with my friend Claire. We’re missing out on the Birmingham Half so this works nicely for both of us and a chance to run around the canals, too.
Fantastic hope you all have a great time together!
Ok, I have to admit. When I read your Sunday posts, I usually scroll through just looking at the pictures first before actually reading the words. I love your fitness outfits. You always wear the cutest workout clothes! Good luck with your 200-person run bet! Sounds awesome.
OH thanks so much. I do love to color coordinate 🙂
Yeah.. I need to not be playing four weeks of catchup, but count me in next time.
I like it, it suits you!
ha ok! will do
I should probably do that yoga for hips challenge. My hips could always use a little help. Great training week!
I am really finding it helpful! My hips are so tight always
