Weekly Run Down From Croatia

Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. This week I’m coming to you from picturesque Croatia. My workouts are a little different this week. Here’s a peek into my week of fitness and travel.

Weekly Run Down From Croatia

Sunday- 3 mile walk + barre + core + yoga for hips

It was just too hot to run again with temps hovering near 100. I opted for a walk with a friend and a few Peloton classes to round out the day.

Monday-45 min Peloton hike + upper body strength + core +afternoon coffee 

Love when a new month starts on a Monday! Happy July! We woke up to temps 20 degrees cooler than we have been which was a gift. I did my Peloton workouts in my gym then met a friend for a nice coffee walk in mid afternoon. We have to savor these days when they are offered!

Tuesday- 3.5 mile run/walk + Peloton barre, core + stretch

We were gifted with a much cooler day today and lower humidity-thanks Mother Nature this is just what I needed. It felt great to get a run in before leaving on our trip Wednesday.

Later, we had a birthday celebration for a friend at the new Olfactory in Georgetown where we made our own unique perfumes. Something fun and different to do as a group!

Wednesday-Peloton hike + upper body push + core + stretch 

I was determined to get in a good solid workout before jetting off on vacation. Mission accomplished. I should be nice and sore by the time I get to my destination Thursday. We took a train up to Newark to catch our fight to Dubrovnik, Croatia this evening.

Thursday-travel to Croatia + Peloton walk

I was pretty tired by the time we arrived to Dubrovnik, Croatia. We made it to our friend’s boat where we will be spending a few days with them along the Adriatic. I figured a tread walk would help with jet lag. After a short nap, I woke up to this beautiful sunset with a view of the old city. Can’t wait to check out tomorrow.

It felt weird not be home for the 4th of July but I will adapt!

Friday-Peloton tread hike + core + touring Dubrovnik 

Working hard to keep up my Peloton streak-I got in a decent tread hike before heading out for the day. Dubrovnik was a quaint town with unique architecture and gorgeous sea views. Temps are in the low 80’s and sunny so far. I mostly took video today so if you are interested, check out my IG.

Saturday-Peloton barre + core + touring Korcula

Close by to Dubrovnik, we toured around another beautiful town of Korcula. It was much less crowded and a nice breeze. The town was super cute with quaint alley ways and winding stairways to meander about in.

As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

    It looks so beautiful and historic in Croatia! I have a lot of patients from that area–one of my families was leaving to visit there this week! Enjoy your time away.

    What a fun and scenic destination! The pics are fabulous, but I’m sure they don’t do it justice. Great job on keeping the fitness live & in motion while on vacation:-)

      07/07/2024 at 3:56 pm

      They do not do it justice at all

    Croatia looks stunning and you both look so happy and relaxed!

    Is there a tread on the yacht or are you staying at a hotel?

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/07/2024 at 3:56 pm

      we are definitely relaxed! We do have a full gym here so I am doing a little bit each day

    WHAT? Omg those photos are insanely beautiful. I LOVE the one with the boat on the sea with the mountains in the background. Sounds like you’re having an amazing time! I can’t wait to hear more about it.

    Beautiful photos! Croatia looks gorgeous. I have to ask – in that photo with you and your husband is the light grey dress Quince? I keep getting served ads for a dress that I love that looks like that but it’s Quince, which I’ve never bought from before!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      07/07/2024 at 3:59 pm

      Yes it is gorgeous! Yes the dress is quince I am new to them and have a discount code if you’d like it INFG-DEBORAHBROOKS1410 I think an extra 10% off
