Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down. This week was another busy one around here. I’m on a countdown to winter vacation with my family.
Countdown to Winter Vacation
Monday- 30 minutes Peloton + 60 minutes strength training
Hit it hard this morning with 2 back to back HIIT cycle classes and beat my own record for the first time in a while. Pulled up my TopNine post for the year. I was surprised to see so many Peloton photos there.
Tuesday- 3 mile run + Physical Therapy
I increased my run intervals to 90/30 and made it a whole 3 miles without pain. Thrilled to be seeing some progress and finally feeling better.
Wednesday- 35 minutes of Peloton cycle + 90 min strength train and boxing
Since we are going away this weekend, I wanted to make sure to make the most of Wednesday Workout. These bird dogs with one knee on an elevated surface, really force you to engage your core big time. You can also use a yoga block.
Thursday- 2.75 mile run
I was happy to up my run intervals again today to 2 min running/1 min walking. Running without pain again is very encouraging although super slow going. My son came home today so we are all together again. Our countdown to our winter vacation is in full swing.
Friday- 35 minutes of Peloton and hot yoga class 1 hr
I have been cycling a lot while returning from my running injury. While I have put in a ton of time, I was not feeling my strongest on the bike either until just this week. Today I passed my own PR’s on 2 back to back classes. I was thrilled!
Saturday- Travel day
Our family headed out to Aruba for a week long family vacation. So looking forward to spending lots of quality time together and relaxing in the warm sunshine. Swimming and paddle boarding are on the fit plan for next week. Stay tuned for photos.
So glad for your progress and awesome to hear no pain!
Thanks I hope it continues
A lot of good things this week. Congrats on your cycling PRs your pain free runs and vacation
Enjoy. Look forward to your pics.
Mine will be gray icy and snowy until Feb.
Thanks I hope the pain free runs continue
You’ll soon be back to running full-time again! That was excellent progress this week, well done.
ARUBA!!!! That sounds fantastic! I have never been there, so I am looking forward to your photos. Enjoy the sun!
Thanks we have been going for the last few years we love it there
You totally crushed it this week – awesome job!
I hope that you and your family are having an amazing time in Aruba 🙂
Thanks and yes so far so good
Glad to see you returning to form! Enjoy Aruba. Jealous of your beach trips!
Thanks I sure hope the pain free runs continue
It’s been so awesome to witness your rally back! You’ve made great progress, and the pain-free thing is legit. Well done!!! Enjoy your time in the warm sunshine :-0
I know you know how hard it is to come back. I am determined to get there it just may not be as quickly as I’d hoped
Wow! Aruba?!?! Your family takes the best vacations. Hope your time in the tropics is wonderful.
Thanks this has been our winter vacation spot for the last few years. It’s a great little island
Thanks this has been our go to winter vacation spot for a few years. It’s a fun little island
Enjoy all the Vit D! And family, of course. 🙂
Awesome that you are running without pain again — you’ll rebuild before you know it, just wait & see!
I sure hope so thanks!
A nice week and loving the outfits. Hooray for pain-free running, too!
Yes it was a busy week!
That is great that you are running pain free!! Have a great time in Aruba!
Thanks I hope it stays that way!
I love your TopNine. You really did enjoy your Peloton this past year so I’m not surprised to see it in so many pictures. I’ve got to do my TopNine before the year is out.
Thanks for the linkup!
Yes definitely do yours it’s fun to see
Great week! Enjoy your vacation!!
Have a blast in Aruba! Sounds like it will be an amazing time with family!
Congrats on the PR’s and so glad to hear your running is coming back pain free! It is slow going at first, but it does come back faster than it did when you first started, so that’s the good news 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement. I know you’ve been there too.Definitely slow going at the moment
I’m glad your progressing with your running! I forgot about your Aruba vacay until I saw some of your photos. #jealous
Have a great time!
Yes I finally feel like I am on my way back! Thanks we are having a wonderful time
So glad you are feeling better and making progress with your running! I hope you’re having a great time on vacation!
Thanks I am starting to feel like I am on my way back
Hooray for pain-free running progress. May it continue. I’m jelly of your Aruba trip. My husband insists he’s “tired” of the Caribbean. He’s also tired of much of Europe. I may be going to Spain on my own next summer. ; ) Enjoy those beaches!
I am an available travel partner anytime!
First, have THE BEST time in Aruba. I wish I was able to go somewhere to just get away from it all.
Second, you had such a great week, even with PT. I miss running and boxing and everything so much. It will be amazing to get back in there when I’m stronger.
I was out of running for over 7 weeks. I know how hard it is. You are making tons of progress already!
Glad running is feeling better for you! Have a fun vacation.
Slowly but surely I will get back there!
Congrats no those back to back PRs and have fun in Aruba!
Thanks so much x 2
Hope you are having an amazing time on your trip! I’ve never tried bird dogs with an elevated side. I’ll have to give that a try! I’m so glad you are making progress.
They really force you to recruit your core even more try them out
Have a wonderful time in Aruba, sounds amazing!
So happy to hear about your progress with running. Be patient 🙂
Thanks-patience is not one of my virtues but I am trying
Yay running without pain. Love your friend’s reindeer sweater. Enjoy Aruba!
WE had a fantastic time thanks!
