Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. After a crazy busy 2 weeks of moving my daughter to Chicago and taking my son back to school, things were calm this week. We are back to empty nesting again around here. After having everyone home for 5 months, it’s very quiet in here!
Empty Nesting again
Monday-Travel home from Indiana
One of my favorite places and such a beautiful campus.
Flew back home from Indiana which went very smoothly.
Tuesday- 2 mile run/walk + 20 min arms + 10 min core + 10 min strength for runners
I was eager to get back to my workouts today. I did a “test run” on the hip with 2 miles of run/walk intervals. No pain while running just a little tight.
I had my first Prolotherapy injection in my hip today. I will diving more into what it is and why I did it next week.
Wednesday- 2 mile treadmill walk
I was on a mandated rest day today because of the Prolo but I was permitted to do a short walk. The rainy day gave me the perfect opportunity for an easy indoor walk.
Thursday-Stand Up Paddle Boarding + 10 min core + 30 min cycle + 10 min yoga flow
Perfect timing for a low impact recovery day. The Potomac River was calm and not busy at all.We had amazing views of the Kennedy Center, The Washington monument and The Lincoln Memorial. Even practiced some SUP Yoga. No pain or stiffness at all in my hip today!
I was feeling pretty good in the afternoon so I hopped onto a low impact ride and some gentle yoga. All was feeling good and glad to get a little sweat on. I am such a sweat junkie!
Friday-Cycling 30 minles
Met up with Coco and Debbie for a change of scenery. These 2 kept me moving for a nice 30 miler followed by an outdoor lunch together.
Saturday-2 mile walk + 2- min upper body ST + 30 min yoga
Created my own hot yoga experience on this muggy morning.
Sunday-Peloton cycle + lower body + core
Hitting various Peloton milestones has definitely been motivating for me these past few months. This week I hit my 200th strength class and achieved 8K minutes for the year so far. Hope to hit 100 cycle miles today. Tell me a small win you are celebrating this week? Thanks for linking up and have an amazing week ahead.
Glad your hip is starting to feel better, Can’t wait to hear more about the prolotherapy! Thanks for the linkup!
Thanks my fingers are crossed it works!
Your rest days are intense!! 🙂
I’m in the DC area mugginess as well. Ugh!
Looking forward to the hip therapy post!
Sometimes they are 🙂 Prolotherapy post coming Wednesday
The mugginess is back for sure! Glad your hip is doing well. Hope to see you “at camp” some this week. 🙂
Yes should be fun
Great to hear your hip’s feeling good! I’m interested in hearing more about this therapy.
Thanks for the link-up!
I will be sharing more this week!
The paddle boarding looks like so much fun! Thanks for linking up!
It was really fun and a great way to keep cool
Congrats on all those Peloton milestone es! My big win this week was yesterday’s bike ride…I’ll be celebrating that for the next 5-6 weeks!
Fantastic! Glad you are loving cycling so much
Love your strong photos! I had a good running week and I’m really looking forward to getting the spare office up on my floor sorted out in October so I can get the Peleton app and start doing some cross-trainer work and floor classes. No running blogging from me again as it’s pretty dispiriting that my city is heading for another lockdown, but look out for me featuring on Cari’s post today as we did A Cool Thing earlier on today!
Well I am headed over to check it out now! Sorry that your town residents are not cooperating enough w things. But glad to hear that your running is going well none the less
Small win? I’m planning to film my third Yoga video this week! Assuming I get to it. 🙂
I’d be so tired from all that college-moving-in.
How great to bike with both Debbie & Coco! Enjoy your week, Deborah!
The move in process was especially exhausting this year. Done for now! Good luck w your yoga filming. I bet you are an expert by now
I’m glad that you didn’t have any pain in your hip this week – that’s a great sign!
Congrats on hitting those Peloton milestones this week – that’s awesome!
Yes it is a great sign. I am hoping to return to running this week
Enjoy the semi empty house! I always am inspired by all your workouts for the week – my accomplishment was hitting 40+ miles and 120 days of my running streak.
Those are fantastic accomplishments as well!
Empty nesting has been tough for me. I really miss my boys! I’m not as social as you, so I have a lot of alone time. I may have to work on that!
It is hard not to have the kids around. I am trying to stay as social as I can right now but I really miss all of my friends.
Wow on all the milestones. You are amazing!
Glad the trip home was smooth. Beginning to think about some flying – it’s actually the train to plane that worries me more so may go with LaGuardia to avoid.
So glad you’re feeling some relief in the hip. Eager to read about your experience with the prolotherapy. Those striped leggings are the best! Hopefully your hot yoga involved a cooldown in the pool
and yay on cycling with friends
The plane was actually not that bad. I would worry more about taking the train yes less regulation. Hope you have a chance to getaway for a vacation
Contemplating a Florida road trip if & when that settles down.
good luck I hope you make it!
It was great seeing you on Friday! Let’s definitely plan another ride this fall and we’ll keep the cover bridges tour as an option during peak leaf season!
Have a great week!
yes definitely!
Nice week and fingers crossed on the hip. It sounds like things are going well.
My win of the week was having gorgeous cool fall weather in the mornings. It got hot again over the weekend so whomp whomp but it was still such a wonderful week and I could have run forever.
I am jealous of your weather!
Congrats on your Peloton milestones! Hope the adjustment to empty nesting goes ok. I’m interested to hear more about what you’re doing for your hip!
It’s feeling better fingers crossed!
Very interested to read Wednesday’s post! I hope it helps…
Love that you were able to do a ride with two other bloggers!
Congrats on those Peloton milestones. Impressive!
We had a great time out there together thanks!
That’s great news that your hip felt better this week! The SUP sounds like fun 🙂
Thanks and yes always fun!
I’m so glad that you aren’t having more hip pain. It’s got to be such a relief.
Things must be so so quiet at home. In some ways that must be so nice. In others, it must be a change.
A very big change! Fingers crossed on the hip pain
I am celebrating the increase in speed on my bike! That sounds like a great time on the river. I still haven’t tried SUP, but hope to some day soon! You’ve had a lot of accomplishments – congrats!
I love it when that happens on the bike! congrats
Oh my goodness, injection in your hip? Ouch, but I get why you did it. I hope you get good results from it.
I’m impressed with all of your Peloton milestones. Way to go! I am slowly getting there but it’s been lots of fun.
So far it’s really helping thanks
What a solid week! So glad you met up with Coco and Debbie for a ride too! Plus I have to say, as always your colour coordination for that Hot Yoga session is brilliant! Loving those purple and pink hues.
Ah thanks so much!
