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.
Catrina says
Lovely pictures from New Orleans! Looks like you’re having a lot of fun.
All the best with the half-marathon today!!!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much it was a fun weekend
Marcia says
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
We had a great weekend fun city to explore
Darlene S. Cardillo says
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
The Segway was a blast! I did make it but my body is not so happy with me at the moment
Kimberly Hatting says
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
It was a crazy city and fun to visit. I survived but my body is not happy at the moment
Beckett @ Birchwood Pie says
Ooh I hope your race was a good one! Can’t wait to hear about it. Enjoy NOLA!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks it was a fantastic weekend
Kim G says
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
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
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!

We had a ton of fun all weekend and I am still upright so that’s a plus
Wendy says
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
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
Coco says
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
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

It was a great weekend all around. While I was not sure I was going to make it the whole 13.1, I did!
Zenaida Arroyo says
I hope you had a great race today! I am jealous of your weather early this week. 60s and 50s? No way!
