Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down. I am down in New Orleans so this week it’s all about the Weekly Run Down Cajun Style. Let’s see how it went down.
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.
Lovely pictures from New Orleans! Looks like you’re having a lot of fun.
All the best with the half-marathon today!!!
Thanks so much it was a fun weekend
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.
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.
The Segway was a blast! I did make it but my body is not so happy with me at the moment
NOLA looks so fun!!!!! I’ve been to Mardi Gas in Mobile, but never New Orleans…yet! Great week of fitness for you, too 🙂
It was a crazy city and fun to visit. I survived but my body is not happy at the moment
Ooh I hope your race was a good one! Can’t wait to hear about it. Enjoy NOLA!
Thanks it was a fantastic weekend
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!
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
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!
It was such a fun city to explore and oh so much food. I will be rolling home tomorrow!
great lead up to the NOLA RnR!! Loved seeing the pics this week again! And that Segway tour! BRILLIANT idea!
The Segway was lots of fun and a great way to see the city. There is a lot going on here! Full race recap coming soon
New Orleans looked like a blast. So happy for you!
We had a ton of fun all weekend and I am still upright so that’s a plus
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!
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
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!
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
I hope you had a great race! A segway tour looks like so much fun! Smart way to keep off your feet.
Thanks and yes it was a fun way to tour the city. Full race recap coming soon
What a fun looking weekend in NOLA! I haven’t done a marathon in Louisiana yet, I think I need to do this one next year! I hope you had a fun race Deborah.
It was a great weekend all around. While I was not sure I was going to make it the whole 13.1, I did!
I hope you had a great race today! I am jealous of your weather early this week. 60s and 50s? No way!
It was a really odd weather week in DC! I had a great time in NOLa and will be sharing by race recap soon
Great idea to tour the city on a Segway! It looks like your group had a great time exploring. Hope the race was fun!
We had a super fun weekend! Will be writing up the race recap shortly
Sounds like a fun trip!
So much fun
I hope you had a great race today! Had you visited New Orleans previously? I have not.
No first time here! A fun city with a lot going on
I love the florals in the French Quarter. So vibrant
This weather was so crazy this week, but like you I got out to enjoy it when I could
Yes everything is so vibrant down here!
Looks like a fun trip! Looking forward to reading about how your race went!
Yes a super fun weekend. full recap coming up soon
Looks like such a fun trip! Segway tours are smart for the day before a race – got to stay off the feet! I hope your race went well!
Super fun weekend all around
What a fun weekend! Such beautiful, colourful happy photos – can’t wait to see how your race went!
A super fun filled weekend thanks!
Looks like you’re having a great time in New Orleans! I look forward to hearing about the race 🙂
Such a fun city for a race vacation
Great pre-race week! The New Orleans RnR is definitely on my race bucket list!! Maybe next year 😉
It’s a fun city to visit so much going on
What a super fun racecation! I can’t wait to read all about it. I have only been to New Orleans once, and it was for Mardi Gras, so no running was being done. I would love to be back for a real trip!
I can only imagine how crazy it is during Mardi Gras!
