Thanks so much for joining Kim and me for our Weekly Run Down. This was a crazy, busy, full of fun with friends and chasing cherry blossoms.Let’s get right to it!
Weekly Run Down Chasing Cherry Blossoms
Sunday- hot yoga
Our local core power studio did a hot yoga for runners class for our MRTT group. Great turnout and we all felt nice and relaxed.
Monday- 40 minute Peloton class + 60 min strength training
Never miss a Monday workout. Really enjoying starting my week with a Peloton class.
Tuesday-3 mile run
Keeping it light and easy this week pre cherry blossom. Beautiful spring day led to a little monkeying around! Ankle area still bothering me off and on and I am ignoring it until after the race.
Wednesday- 90 min strength training and boxing
In case you missed it, I posted a killer squats workout. In honor of my post, we had lots of fun squat variations in our workout today. Adding a resistance band to the side squats really kicks it up a notch.
Thursday- 3.5 mile run
Keeping it short and sweet today. Had to take a few walk breaks and shake out the ankle. Ugh annoying!
Friday- 20 min Peloton
Kim arrived late Thursday night so of course we had to get our sweat on together first thing. It was fun to have a friend join me in my “happy place”. My daughter thinks we look like a 90’s girl rock band. What do you think?
Linda arrived mid day Friday and the festivities began. Threw a little bloggers meet my MRTT dinner party Friday night. So much fun for everyone to have the chance to meet up. We were joined by Erika, Deb, and Coco.
How cute are these Cherry Blossom cookies?
Saturday- rest day and packet pick up
Fun expo and flat mamas are ready to go. It’s going to be a much warmer day than expected! My goal is just to finish the race without my ankle hurting too much. Finish lines not finish times! Chasing cherry blossoms…
Sunday- Cherry Blossom 10 miler
Can’t wait to hear about the race! I did have some ankle issues last week and had some cupping done and it seemed to help, as well as some CBD oil. Hope your ankle behaves!
We had so much fun! The ankle was not as bad as I thought it would be so that was good
Those cookies and your shirts for the race are super cute! I hope you have a great race and your ankle doesn’t bother you too much!
Thanks my ankle was not as bad as I thought it would be!
Oh, I am feeling the FOMO! Looks like you’re having a blast. And I love the t-shirt!!! I can’t wait for the recap.
We had a really fun weekend. hope you make it for our next meetup
so so awesome!!! what a week! and yes you and Kim look like a 90’s girl rock band hahaha!
So much FOMO here. But really, really glad for you all to have the chance to meet up and spend time together.
also I spelled my own name wrong. Ugh.
ha ha !
Well we could have a new career ahead of us!
I love those cookies — and all of your tights & shirts. So much fun. Hope the ankle held up OK
Had missed your squat post — off to check that out. Need to find ways to make those less boring
I love squats and there are so many ways to vary them. We had such a fun weekend!
What a great week and a bloggers’ meetup – can’t decide if I love those photos or you and your mates on the swings best!
Ha we did have a super fun weekend and it was great to see everyone in person.
What a busy week for you! So glad that you were able to spend the weekend with Kim and Linda 🙂
Those cherry blossom cookies look so cute!
We had a great time. You have to join us next time!
This was such a fab weekend! It was great visiting you, meeting even more blogger gals and runner friends,and doing all things cherry blossoms. Now, about that (absent) chocolate on my pillow….. 🙂
ahh next time!
You both look fabulous in the photo with you & Kim! And the threesome (or the Kim sandwich as I’m dubbing it). So much fun!
Sounds like it was a super fun week!
ha ha yes! We did have lots of photo ops!
Such a fun weekend! I was sorry to miss it. I hope your ankle felt okay. Can’t wait to hear more!
we missed you too!
It was so fun to see the photo of both you an Kim pop up on Instagram. I can definitely see that 90s vibe. Looks like it was a fun weekend, can’t wait to hear about the race, and I hope the ankle held up!
Well at least we know we have other career options!
It was so great to see you TWICE this week – what a treat! Sorry your ankle did not behave very well today. It sure was the warmest CUCB I can remember in a while. Thank you so much for arranging the MRTT CPY2 class and for hosting the lovely dinner. I hope to see you soon!
So happy to see you and I was so glad that you were able to hang out with all the blogger gals. We need to do it more often
It was great to meet (and see again) so many bloggers that I already felt like I knew so well! As Kim said, it was more like a reunion than meeting for the first time. Thank you again for hosting and including me!
Thanks for the linkup!
It was like a reunion so funny that it feels that way!
I love that so many of the link-up-res could meet up for the race! What fun!
Those cherry blossoms really are beautiful. Great pics!
It was a really fun weekend together
Great pictures this week – looks like everything you did was full of friends, fun and fitness! And some awesome cookie eating (yummmm!). So jealous of the cherry blossoms. We don’t have those around here!
Will definitely run for cookies and friends!
Looks like you all had so much fun this weekend! That Blossom shirt is just too cute! I hope your ankle behaved.
We really had so much fun! Missed you
You are so good about varying your workouts! Hot yoga ANDpeloton? Wow!
The race looks so beautiful! Those cherry blossoms are amazing. And I love your outfits.
I do love to mix up my workouts and find it works well for me thanks
Thanks for sharing your Cherry Blossom photos. Your meet up looks like it was so much fun. Now I have FOMO and am wondering why I didn’t sign up for the Cherry Blossom 10-miler. I love that race! Your squats look hard but fantastic! I must try them with the stretchy band.
So many races so little time! Hope you try the squats they are my fave cross training workouts
What a fun week/weekend! Those cookies are adorable. Can’t wait to hear about your race!
Thanks we did have such a fun weekend!
I can’t wait to hear about the race! Sounds like such a fun weekend! Your pants are perfect gear for the cherry blossom race.
It’s all about the outfit right?! 🙂
What a great week leading up to what I’m sure was an amazing race!! It’s so great to have blog friends come to town and have a proper pre-race party. Loved all the pictures and can’t wait for the recap.
And yes, you guys definitely pull off the 80s rocker girl band – LOL!
We were having so much fun all weekend I kind of forgot we had to get up and run 10 miles. Running friends are the best friends aren’t they?!
What a fun week! Congrats on Cherry Blossom, you had perfect weather, unlike a few years ago when the wind was crazy!
Looks like such a fun time with all the bloggers and I bet you throw an awesome party – and are those champagne glasses on your leggings?! LOL, I love it!
I hope your ankle feels better ASAP – I actually turned mine while running on a trail over the weekend and I’m feeling a little tender 2 days later.
Yes champagne leggings 🙂 why not!? Oh now sorry to hear you twisted your ankle. Ankles are the worst bc they are so hard to stay off of.We had such a fun weekend!
Oh, the FOMO is so real! You were so lucky with all the blooms and such beautiful ladies! What a wonderful time for you all!
Love that you had such gorgeous weather and that everything went so well!
Those cookies were precious! Did you make them?
We did have amazing weather! No I am not talented enough to make those cookies. They were so pretty and delicious too
I love those floral leggings and the shirts for the race! I hope you had fun and the ankle behaved 🙂
Thanks it held up better than expected I walked a bit but happy to have finished
“Run all the miles, see all the blossoms” – I love that 🙂 I’m so glad you hosted a get-together and those cupcakes look AMAZING!
We had so much fun all weekend!
