Thanks for joining Kim and me for The Weekly Run Down today. I really look forward to reading and writing these posts each week. It’s fun to take a peek into everyone’s week of workouts. I had a pretty good week all around mostly because fall running is finally here to stay.
Fall Running is Finally Here To Stay
Monday- 40 min Peloton cycle + 60 min Strength Training
Hitting it hard this Monday with a sweaty start.
Tuesday- 4 mile run + 10 min stretch class
Enjoying a beautiful fall running day. It’s a little hard to know what to wear when the seasons first change. I know I run hot so this tee was perfect. We decided to wear pink all week in honor of breast cancer awareness.
Wednesday- 40 min Peloton + 90 min strength training/kick boxing
Wednesdays are always my hardest workout day of the week. Told my trainer I needed a something new and challenging. These jump squats with a reach up were heart pumping and challenging. It’s been a while since I did them. Serves me right for asking for something hard!
Thursday- 4 mile run + 5 minute Peloton stretch
Woke up to some seriously crazy winds today. Fall running is here to stay. The cool wind was invigorating! Started out into a serious headwind but the way back we felt like we were flying. A pretty good run all around. So glad I did not wear a jacket.
Friday- 55 minute Peloton ride
“Overcome your resistance to resistance” a great cycling quote by my Denis from Peloton. Riding high into the weekend. My son is home for fall break for a few days and I love having both my babes under one roof.
Saturday- 20 min restorative yoga + 10 min foam rolling classes on Peloton
Moved my long run to Sunday this week. Spending the day playing with some recipes and hanging out with my family. October Soup Club pick up is tomorrow. Just in time because this fall running weather is here to stay! I have another tasty soup to share with soon.
Sunday- 7+ mile run
My plan from Coach Jess has 7 miles for today with some faster race pace miles mixed in. It went better than I expected even with the very rainy conditions that we have today. I would so much rather run in the rain than the heat.
Hope you are having a great weekend and enjoying some cooler run temps too. Thanks for joining us today. See you tomorrow for meatless Monday.
Those jump squats look alarmingly close to burpees (which are the devil). You are a brave woman! I’m pretty sure I would’ve regretted asking as soon as the words were out of my mouth!
ha ha burpees are way worse in my opinion!
Be careful what you ask for when you tell your trainer things are getting easier. 😉
Thanks for the linkup!
I know seriously!
Eeps, jump squats are HARD. I’m still not managing to get back into my strength training regime! And well done on a good week throughout. Love your pink ladies and all the cheery photos.
Those jump squats are tough! Good week here all around thanks
Awesome week of workouts Deborah! I’m looking forward to spending more time on the Peloton bike now that my race is over 🙂
The cooler temps have been awesome this week. We had a very very windy days but things have settled down now.
Thanks! Peloton will be a great way to recover from your marathon
I love all the coordinated outfits- the pink, orange, etc. So colorful! It is also feeling fall like here this week. Some mornings were chilllllly!
I love the chilly mornings!
I love your pink shirts! I’m with you on rain over heat any day.
Yes definitely!
“Your” Denis, LOL! I wonder how many people feel the same way? And be careful what you ask for from a trainer, to be sure!
Glad you’re finally cooling down down there! We’re already moving into cooler than I’d like weather, but it is what it is.
Love soup season. 🙂
It was a perfect soup day today! Yes my Denis is quite popular it seems
The fall colors are gorgeous! And you are right – this weather is invigorating. Can’t wait to see what you get in soup club!
I got some yummy soups and look for my new recipe next week
What a fantastic week Deobrah! My husband was actually in DC for a few days this week for work and complained about the wind 🙂 But he had some good runs there! Glad you did as well!
Thanks for hosting this great linkup!
It was a windy week around here! Hope you get to come along on one his work trips to DC
Hello! I love your blog and am happy to have been introduced to it by Liz Dexter. I have to say I love all of your running tights and love to see the patterns and colors. Thank you for creating this round up. It’s great to read everyone’s stories. I live in the UK, but am originally from Chicago so I particularly like to see the running that is happening in the US.
So glad you found us and will be joining us!
I can’t believe you ran in this rain! I do believe fall is here to stay. Looking forward to doing a bit of fall running myself – finally!
It was really wet out there but I so prefer it to the heat. It was not as bad as I thought
Be careful what you ask for! Lol! I love it. I’m glad you are enjoying some heat relief with the fall weather. It does feel refreshing even though I’m sad to say that all my runs this week were in tights. Too soon!
We are still in capri weather so pretty perfect for now!
The fall weather has been divine for running! How fun to have your kiddos home! Thanks for the linkup!
Always fun to have everyone home under one roof even if it is just for the weekend
You ladies are great sports for taking that pic on the bridge in the rain! I can handle rain, though I’d choose heat LOL Another solid week for you 😉
Thanks we figured it would be more fun to embrace it!
Looks like some fun activities this week! I had some jump squats in my final PT exercises “phase”. I was excited to finally get those assigned to me. Since I’ve ignored my PT exercises for so long I need to start back at square one. Hopefully I’ll be back to some jump squats sooner than later!
Yes they are a great addition to a routine
Looks like a great week for you! So glad fall weather is finally sticking around!
Me too! It’s made all the difference for me
Love all of the pink! I don’t mind running in the rain but only when it is warm/hot as it cools me down. It isn’t fun running in it on a cold day.
It was in the mid 50’s so it was not too bad out there
What a wonderful idea to wear pink all week. Love it! Those jump squats sound intense. I don’t think I could even do one on my creaky knees! 🙂
I had not done them in a while!
I’m glad the weather cooled down for you! Send some of it this way haha. I really want it to cool down for good for running…even if we still get hotter afternoons, just keep the mornings and evenings in the 60s or lower and we’ll be good.
It has been a game changer for me I wish I could send it your way!
Sounds like a great week! I love that quote about overcoming resistance. And I’m impressed with your long run in the rain 🙂
I like the quote too! Yes it was challenging in the rain but I felt really good afterwards
No massive cool down here, but we are getting a lot of breezes and a slight chill. Not capri and long sleeve weather, mind you.
I need to get back into yoga. My hips are craving it.
My hips always appreciate a good yoga stretch. Hope some cooler weather heads your way soon
The weather has been great lately, minus the wind and the rain! I am excited that now its actually starting to look like fall too.
Yes it sure is all of the sudden! Enjoy it
