Weekly Run Down Cajun Style

Monday- 30 m Peloton cycle + 60 min strength training + 4 mile walk

Hitting hard is my MO on Mondays. I was feeling really good after yesterday’s 7 mile run. We had an odd 65 degree day so had to get out for an afternoon walk with the crew.

Tuesday 3.5 mile Run

Another crazy warm February day here. High 50’s and tank tops? Crazy but we’ll take it. Seemed like the perfect spot for a photo stop. Last run before New Orleans half this weekend!

Wednesday – 30 minute peloton bike + 90 min boxing and strength training

Always one of my favorite workouts of the week. Sharing a few of my favorite ab exercises in the new Wednesday Runners’ Roundup. This Core Crushing Circuit will help you build a stronger foundation.

Thursday -Travel to New Orleans

Early flight to New Orleans. A group of 6 of us are heading down (some with hubs in toe) to run the Rock N Roll Half on Sunday. Looking forward to a fun few days ahead. Spent the afternoon walking around the French Quarter.

 

Friday- Rock N Roll New Orleans Expo and Walking tour 

Hit the expo to pick up our packets, do a little shopping and photo ops of course. We then took a 2 hour walking tour of the city. Ended up walking over 6 miles today.

Saturday- Segway Tour

 A super fun way to see more of the city and keep our feet from getting too tired.

Sunday- Race Day!

Ready or not here I come!

Race day is finally here! Can’t wait to tell you all about it on Wednesday. Thanks for joining us today for the Weekly Run Down Cajun Style.

    Have so much fun and of course a great race too! NOLA is one of my favorite cities. That said, it’s been eons since I’ve last been there. A Segway tour sounds like the perfect way to rest your legs.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/09/2020 at 4:46 pm

      We had a great weekend fun city to explore

    A Segway. How perfect.

    Enjoy the race. You will do fine.

    Look for a lady running TNT. Lots of tags on her back. She’s my friend.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/09/2020 at 4:51 pm

      The Segway was a blast! I did make it but my body is not so happy with me at the moment

  4. Kimberly Hatting says

    02/09/2020 at 12:56 pm

    NOLA looks so fun!!!!! I’ve been to Mardi Gas in Mobile, but never New Orleans…yet! Great week of fitness for you, too 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/09/2020 at 4:55 pm

      It was a crazy city and fun to visit. I survived but my body is not happy at the moment

    02/09/2020 at 1:53 pm

    I love that you did a Segway Tour in NOLA! I’ve always wanted to try segways but I’m afraid my lack of coordination would make me fall off, lol

    I hope that you had a great race today!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/09/2020 at 7:24 pm

      Ha they are a lot easier than you would think and a really fun way to see a city.We did them in San Fran as well a while back. It was a great weekend all around and a fun city

  7. Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says

    Love NOLA and definitely wish I was there! Hope you had a fabulous race weekend! And all the beignets. 🙂 I know so many people running those races this weekend!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/09/2020 at 7:29 pm

  10. Wendy says

    02/09/2020 at 3:09 pm

    I am so looking forward to your race recap. The hubs and I went to NOLA back before we had kids! I keep telling him we need to go back. Altho a girls’ trip sounds mighty tempting!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/09/2020 at 7:49 pm

      The city is like no other for sure! You know I am all about girls’ trips 🙂 We had a blast all weekend and I made it to the finish line

  11. Coco says

    02/09/2020 at 3:54 pm

    Sounds like a great weekend! Love that first shot from the French Quarter – classic! I’ve never been on a Segway before, but it does look like a great way to see the city while sparing your legs. Looking forward to the recap!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/09/2020 at 7:54 pm

      A really fun way to see the city and it’s quite the city! I did make it to the finish line and I am still standing 🙂 well sort of

  12. Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says

    02/09/2020 at 4:06 pm

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/09/2020 at 8:04 pm

  14. Zenaida Arroyo says

    02/09/2020 at 5:23 pm

    I hope you had a great race today! I am jealous of your weather early this week. 60s and 50s? No way!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/09/2020 at 8:07 pm

      It was a really odd weather week in DC! I had a great time in NOLa and will be sharing by race recap soon

  15. angela @ happy fit mama says

    02/09/2020 at 7:30 pm
