Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down linkup. We have really been enjoying all of the fabulous participation from other bloggers and friends. This week my focus has been building back miles after my ankle tendonitis.
Building Back Miles
Sunday- 45 min Peloton bike + 30 m power walk
So thankful to wake up to a pain free ankle after yesterday’s St Patrick’s Day race. I did a fun 45 Women’s history month themed ride and later in the day an afternoon power walk. I needed to get one more session for the RunBet challenge and did not want to push it on my ankle. Feeling ready to starting building back miles this week.
Monday- 40 min Peloton bike classes + 60 min strength training
Never miss a Monday! Always ready to hit it hard with strength training on Monday mornings. In case you missed last week’s Meatless Monday recipe. Crockpot Spring Minestrone was delicious and easy.
Tuesday 4.25 mile run
Took it kind of easy but once again my ankle is feeling pretty good. Could not be happier! It was a gorgeous day-bonus!
Wednesday- 90 min strength training and kickboxing
Tank top seasoning is coming and I am ready to start working those triceps.
Thursday- 20 power zone intro Peloton + 30 min yoga
Woke up to a torrential rain and crazy wind day. Decided to push my run back a day and headed to the bike.
Friday- 4.5 mile run
Best run I have had in a while! Pain free and feeling so much better. Perhaps it was my new Brooks Glycerin 17’s. It was really tempting to run extra miles but I am saving my long run for Sunday. I want to keep building back miles without aggravating my ankle.
Saturday- rest day
I took a full day off from exercise! The hubs and I got a bunch of stuff done we needed to do together.
Sunday- on the plan 8 miles
Fingers crossed my 8 miler went according to plan!
That’s my Weekly Run Down! Thanks for joining us for the link up. Hope to see you tomorrow for Meatless Monday.
Nice job this week! That power zone Peloton ride sounds interesting – I think I’ll check it out!
It was a very different type of class. I just found out that I am going to be in NYC for a few days in April and I am going to try to get into a live class 🙂
finger’s crossed your 8 miler goes well!
It went better than I thought thanks!
You were quite active this week! Glad to hear the ankle is rallying back; you’re gonna be rocking the CB in TWO weeks 😉
I don’t think I would go so far as rocking but I will make it! 🙂
So glad you are pain free too! Hope your run today was as perfect as the weather! Getting excited for CUCB!
My run was better than I expected today. I think I will make it through CB with a few walk breaks
I’m glad your ankle is feeling better!
Thursday’s rain was pretty intense. The creek in our back yard overflowed its banks all day. I’ve seen it higher, but only a couple of times in the 17 years we’ve lived here.
Thanks for the linkup!
That was a crazy storm! We also have a raging creek in the back yard that flows when that happens. Ankle is on the mend thanks
Yay on pain free and spring! I swear I want “but first, coffee” on my purse to head off people talking.
ha ha or a sign you can hold up!
Hooray for a pain free run! I’m hoping your 8 miler was pain free too.
Thanks for the linkup!
Thanks yes it is slow and needed a few walk breaks but pain free yay
Glad your ankle has been feeling better!
So am I! Thanks so much
So glad to hear you were pain free! The first place I start when I feel pain is check the mileage on my shoes.
Yes this time I am not sure what caused the issue but I am glad it’s on it’s way out!
I’m SO glad the ankle is feeling better and you are building up again! looks like spring has really arrived! looks like you had a great week!
Cherry Blossom is next week? or two weeks to go?
2 weeks to go until the Cherry Blossom race. Thanks I am so glad that I am starting to build back up
A great week and so pleased your ankle is behaving. I’m also in awe of all your cross-training!
Thanks I am so glad that my ankle is feeling better as well. I really do enjoy my cross training quite a bit. I wish I could run more days but my body just does not cooperate with back to back days of running
Nice week! So glad your ankle is feeling better!
Thanks so am I-I was getting worried!
Great week for you! Glad the ankle isn’t giving you any more problems.
Thanks no pain while running a little sore afterwards. I will take it!
I am so envious of the lovely flowering tree!
That’s great that the ankle continues to be solid. Fingers crossed it stays that you. And look at you, taking an actual rest day (although it didn’t sound super restful?).
I did take an actual day! I was so antsy I almost went to an evening yoga but I held strong! 🙂
The cherry blossoms are looking so pretty already! We are just getting buds on the trees. Hopefully, we start getting some color soon. And some tank top weather. Ahhhh…I can feel the sun now! 🙂
I actually got over heated out there today!
What an active week – great job!! Good luck with the 8!
Thanks! I did mange the 8 pain free super excited
Wow, the soup looks amazing! And you have flowers on trees there? So pretty! Hope your long run went well.
It went well thanks! Feeling so much better. And yes still into soups even though it’s warming up
Good work building back your mileage! That’s great how your ankle is feeling better!
It is feeling much better thanks. A little sore this morning but I am more optimistic.
That’s great that you had such a good run on Friday with no pain!
Thanks I am feeling a lot better. Still a little under trained for cherry blossom but I will make it through
Glad your ankle is feeling better!
Thanks me too!
You’ve done a great job, especially with your cross training! I haven’t been out on my bike in forever, and now that the wind is dying down, it’s something I should probably do.
I am also really looking forward to outdoor biking adventures. I don’t mind running in cold temps but biking not so much
Yay for pain free miles. Glad you are recovering from injury! And as usual I am always a little jealous when I read about someone using their peloton 😉
I am really glad to be feeling better as well. My Peloton has been a life saver this winter
How did it go with your 8 miles? I don’t remember be last time I ran that distance. 😀
Glad your ankle is feeling much better.
Much better than I expected! I took a few walk breaks but I made it!
