Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. Before I get into my week, how about a round of applause for my cohost Kim who ran the Marine Corps Marathon this morning here in DC! For me, this week was about getting into the groove of running more again. I had a pretty good week here’s my run down.
Getting into the Groove
Monday-30 min Peloton cycle + 60 min strength training
Because I did my longer run yesterday, I took it a little lighter today than usual. Always feels good to flush out the legs with a cycle class. My bike metrics were acting up and not showing up so I called Peloton. They had me go through a few trouble shooting tricks but it still didn’t work correctly. They promptly scheduled my for a house call from Dr. Peloton. In a last ditch effort, I unplugged and replugged in all the cords and just like magic, I was back! Funny how that does just work sometimes.
Tuesday-4 mile run + Peloton stretch
A nice cool run with crunchy leaves and the fall feels. Took it easy and just enjoyed the view and the company.
Wednesday- 30 min HITT Peloton +90 min kickboxing and strength training
I had lots of energy today and felt pretty accomplished after my workouts. Wednesdays are usually my hardest workout day of the week.
Thursday- 7 mile run + Peloton stretch
Woke up to a gorgeous, cool crisp day and decided to get my long run for the week done. One of those fall mornings where it warmed up so quickly I was glad I had a tank underneath my long sleeves. Lucky 7! We had a nice big group of runners and lots to chat about. I am feeling like I am getting into the groove of running more mileage again and it feels good.
Friday- rest day
Moved my rest day to today. Soon after my great run yesterday I got a pain in my Psoas area (upper thigh where it connects to your pelvis). Kind of got worse throughout the day and evening. Not happy at all.
Blogger Dinner and meet up
So great to be able to meet up with Rachel and Kim and wish them luck for Sunday’s MCM. We also had a fun time catching up with Lex and Takima.
Saturday- skipped my run-stretched and iced
I knew that I was in too much pain to try to run today. I am so bummed to have this set back as soon as I thought I was getting into the groove. I am hoping with a few days off this will clear up on it’s own. I am self medicating with a white wine and advil combo. LOL
Sunday- Another Rest day
And that’s my Weekly Run Down. These fall temps have me feeling like I am getting my groove back. How about you? Does fall running have you feeling all the good running feels?
Those fall leaves look so beautiful in the background, looks like a beautiful week for running. Sorry to hear about your injury, hopefully a day or two off will help!
Thanks feeling much better already!
I hope the wine and Advil are helping you out! You really had a great start to the week. Your workout room looks so bright and peaceful. LOVE IT! Also loving your tights this week. I need to branch out into some fun pairs, but not sure where to get them. Suggestions? Looks like a fun meet up. I recognize some of those faces 🙂
I’m so jealous of the blogger meet up – wish I could have been there!
Looks like you are definitely hitting your stride, especially when it comes to running!
We do too it was fun to see everyone
Yay for the blogger meetup! It’s always so fun to see everybody IRL. Oh no on the psoas strain. I hope it resolves itself quickly. This weather has been fantastic, but we’ve got snow coming this week. Ugh.
It was so much fun to see everyone again. The psoas is feeling better already so hoping I can jump right back in this week. What snow??
I’m so sorry to hear about your Psoas acting up. With us runners, if it isn’t one thing, it’s another when it comes to aches and pains…
I was hoping you were going to say that Peloton sent your favorite instructor Denis over to your house to fix your bike. 😉
Sorry to have missed the blogger dinner on Friday night, but Bill and I had to get up early on Saturday to drive to Brunswick, MD for a group ride on the C&O Canal. I’m sure you had a blast!
Well if Peloton sent Denis over to my house…:) I think I would not be the only one calling for service! haha. Yes too bad you missed the dinner it was fun to see everyone
oh no Deborah, I hope this “injury” will be over and gone VERY soon. I can imagine your disappointment. just when things were going so well!
the fall foliage there is AMAZING! LOVE!!
so fun to see bloggers get together too! I get the FOMO every time!
Thanks it’s starting to feel a lot better already. I get excited when I feel good running and sometimes I guess I push it too soon
I hope the pain subsides quickly! Always so frustrating when you get back into it, feel good . . . then don’t.
Blogger meetups are always fun. What’s not fun today was the weather for MCM (or any racing around here, luckily I am not running today).
Unplugging something is almost always the answer.
The weather this morning was just awful for the MCM runners! They deserve double medals at least. I am feeling a lot better already with a few days off running so fingers crossed thanks
So bummed you’re in pain again. So frustrating. Hope you can get it under control relatively easily. Gentle hugs
Love your Thursday tights. I think I might have said that on Insta or Runfessions as they look familiar.
Thanks it seems to be feeling better already so I hope with another day off of running it will heal up. Always something huh?!
Glad to hear you’re starting to feel better
Thanks my friend!! xoxo
Oh, no on your psoas! I hope a few days off is all it takes. I was so great seeing you! The MCM-ers had ALL the weather today!
I felt terrible for them out there in that crazy rain! I am feeling better already so fingers crossed another day will do the trick
It’s so great to see running coming back for you–as you know, I”ve been struggling with running myself! Here’s hoping to having some really good runs for both of us! <3
Yes cheers to a happy and healthy running week for both of us
I do love fall running! I am hoping that this week is a good week for me running-wise — I had too many off days last week for my liking but this week should hopefully back in the grind!
Let”s hope we both have better running weeks this week!
I sometimes get an tightness in the hip area that makes it a bit difficult to walk and I’ve never known how to describe it besides where my leg and hip meet- bingo, I think I’ve just learned what a psoas is. Now that we’ve learned about it, maybe it will quit bugging us? Is that too much to ask;-)
Yes that’s what it’s called! Hope both of us do not get that pain anymore. It’s not a fun one
So sorry about the psoas and hope you can sort it out quickly. Do you know what caused it? Love the sunny photos and the meetup – lovely. Hope Kim has done well and enjoyed herself.
On Thursday by the car park for the forest we saw a giant Peleton lorry – it must have belonged to a maintenance or sales person, I suppose. I explained it all to my friend. I’ve seen a studio in London, too.
Yes the Peloton studio in London is apparently quite popular now as well. I am not sure what caused my muscle flare up. It’s feeling a lot better already so I hope that another day of rest will clear it up. Fingers crossed!
Sorry about the psoas pain! Hopefully, it’s short-lived.
So fun to have a blogger meet-up!
Fingers crossed it disappears as quickly as it appeared. Was fun to meet up with the crew
Your week was off to such an amazing start! I hope the sore Psoas muscle heals quickly 🙁 Keep me posted!
I am feeling much better already so fingers crossed I will be jumping right back in on Tuesday
Oh no! I hope the psoas is feeling better soon. Hopefully it just needs some extra care and you’ll be good as new.
Thanks I am actually feeling a lot better today so fingers crossed
I like how you are self medicating! I am sorry to hear about your injury but hope you get better soon. I find that sometimes unplugging electric things does the trick. 🙂
Thanks me too fingers crossed
So great seeing you (and everyone) Friday! I love my blogger friends:-) I hope your setback is short-lived so you can enjoy more runs in the fall temps.
me too! Thanks and yes great to see you sorry our weather was so sucky
How nice that you could see everyone before the race! Sorry that your psoas is acting up and hope that rest will cure it.
It was great to see everyone and fun to catch up!
Sorry to hear about your hip! Hopefully a few days off and the wine and advil will do the trick. Just when you get back into the groove, right?
So glad you were able to meet up with everyone before the race! Looks like fun!
yep not great timing although those things never are!
I hope your psoas feels better soon, especially with how well your runs have been going!
I know what a bummer! It’s already feeling much better fingers crossed
That sucks about the psoas pain 🙁 Here’s hoping that some rest will help clear it up.
thanks it’s feeling a lot better today so fingers crossed
First, you have some of the cutest leggings. I very rarely run in leggings (or capris) due to temperature, but I think they look so cute!
Second, you are powering through such a great variety of workouts! I love seeing the mix of active things you do.
So glad you got to have dinner with so many of my blogging faves. So lucky!
You are very sweet thanks!
It was great seeing you again on Friday! Such a bummer that you had to rest all weekend, but I felt like this was a good weekend for taking it easy! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Great to see you as well! Thanks it’s feeling better each day so fingers crossed
