Thanks for joining me and Kim for our Weekly Run Down Link up. We love hosting this weekly link up and connecting with all of you. It’s been a very relaxing week but I did still fit in my fitness. Here is a peek into my Aruba Adventures week 1.
Aruba Adventures Week 1
Monday- 3.5 mile run + 10 m core + 10 min full body strength
Whew, I forgot how hard is is to run in the heat. Super slow but very pretty run this morning. Did not really know where I was headed, so just ran towards the beach. We are in a really secluded part of the island. Just what we were looking for! Have to love that the Peloton app can work anywhere!
Tuesday- 3 mile walk + 10 min core + 20 min ars/shoulders
Another beautiful day on the island. Exploring around our villa to get the lay of the land.
Wednesday- 3 mile run + 10 min core + swim
Another sweaty and slow run. Came right back and jumped into the pool for a few laps.
Thursday-20 min core + 10 m glutes/legs + 2 mile walk
Friday-10 min J Lo Core class + 10 min strength for runners hip mobility
Morning adventure out to my favorite Acai Bowl hut. Eating fruit in tropical places always tastes better. Kind of a lazy day for me.
Saturday-Morning Hike 2 miles
Ended our week 1 Adventrues in Aruba with a picturesque hike to Seroe Colorado to see this natural bridge. I just love the sound of the water crashing into the rocks. It was quite windy (as it often is) so even more beautiful. I had never visited here previously and saw it listed on AirBnB Experiences. They have some great excursions now led by locals and it was just what we were looking for. These are a few of my favorite photos.
So far, we feel really safe here. We are pretty secluded away from the normal tourist area and thus, don’t see many people unless we want to.We have only eaten out twice for dinner at outdoor tables which felt very safe. Our first week of Aruba Aventures just flew by. Thanks for linking up and have a happy and healthy week ahead.
Looks lovely, Deborah! That tropical blue…ahh…I don’t think I’d want to come home.
Enjoy!
I may not want to come home either!
Looks fantastic! Keep sharing that gorgeous scenery. I’m living vicariously through you!
That I can do-stay tuned
I think next year you should consider bringing a friend along with you 🙂 Looks like such a beautiful place with those sunsets & blue water 🙂 Great job staying active!
Now that is a fabulous idea!
It sounds and looks like you’re having a wonderful time. Keep up the great work staying active, but take advantage of some down time and just relax. Please keep posting those gorgeous pictures!
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
Definitely lots of down time but trying to keep some semblance of my activity level going. More photos coming your way
Omg. Sun, blue skies and heat?! Take me with you! Longs gorgeous!!
It is quite beautiful and very hot
That hike looks amazing! I bet it feels great to take a lazy day in such a beautiful place. Enjoy!
The hike was fun bc it was a place we had not seen before. Every day feels lazy here!
So happy you are having a great time!!! Everything looks so beautiful and peaceful. I would not want to come back after being there a week.
I am not sure we will want to come back!
That looks amazing! And its great that everything has felt so safe. I don’t think I would ever want to leave!
Right now it feels really safe hope it stays that way!
Everything looks so beautiful. Enjoy every moment of your trip!
Thanks so far so good!
I love those ocean views! Your hike destination is gorgeous too. So glad things are working out for you there.
So glad to hear you’re feeling safe. In these times that’s almost more important than the getaway. So glad you’re getting the break you sorely needed. Enjoy every second.
Love how light reflected sea in the sunglasses in your first pic
Feeling safe is our main objective. So far so good! Thanks
So glad that you are enjoying your time in Aruba and I have loved seeing all of your photos on Instagram. I also love that you can still do the Peloton workouts while away – that app is awesome!
I love that I can do all the strength workouts here. I do miss my bike but cannot complain about that!
So jealous, looks like an amazing getaway! The acai bowl looks delicious. Running in the heat is no joke, but good for you for getting out there on vacation!
It’s a lot harder than I remember! Even if I go slow, it will hopefully keep me in some kind of running shape 🙂
Looks like a fantastic get-away! So glad you’re feeling safe and enjoying your time there!
thanks so far so good!
It seems absolutely perfect…in every way!!
Keep posting those beautiful pics. I’m drooling!
You got it!
This looks like such an amazing trip. I am horribly jealous (lol!), but so happy for you that you got to do this. Everything looks and sounds so perfect.
Thanks- do you ever swim laps on hot days?
This looks amazing! I have been to Aruba once a stop on a cruise. We went scuba diving around a sunken boat! I would love to go back. Hope it’s been a safe and relaxing trip!
it’s a great island to visit and right now we feel very safe here
