Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down this week. Goodbye October! Well, remember that sore hip area I mentioned last week? Yup that is hanging around much longer than expected. After feeling so good for all of October, I was not able to run at all this past week. Nope not at all! I managed to keep pretty busy though. Here’s how my week went down.
Weekly Run Down Goodbye October
Monday- 20 minute Peloton and 60 minute strength training
Hip was pretty sore but I was able to do a short cycle class without pain. Lots of massage and stretching with my trainer. Oh and in case you missed it, I shared my Tuscan Tomato Tortellini Soup. Just perfect for fall.
Tuesday- 40 minute Peloton classes
I knew as soon as I stepped out of bed that I was not up to running. Ugh! Not the way I wanted to say Goodbye to October. I did 2 back to shorter Peloton classes with my fave instructor, Denis.
Tuesday night I attended a work event with my hubs at the National Building Museum. It is fun to step out of the workout clothes and get all dolled up sometimes. It’s a gorgeous venue for an event.
Wednesday-20 minute Peloton cycle and 90 min strength training
We skipped much of the kicking we usually do in our boxing workout today. Did lots of arms and abs and these wall squats. Using a stability ball behind your back allows you to get into low squat while keeping your form. Holding the bar adds a nice extra challenge.
Thursday-45 min Peloton + stretch
Still no running over here unfortunately. Sweated it out on the bike today before heading to coach my girls on the run crew. We got into the Halloween spirit.
Friday-afternoon yoga 1.5 hours
Headed out on our girl’s road trip to our yoga retreat. Afternoon yoga was the the first welcome activity.
Saturday- yoga x2 and a nature walk
I was up at the crack of dawn for sunrise yoga. Although I was not thrilled to be up so early, I felt amazing afterwards. We then did a nature walk in a national reserve.
A second afternoon yoga class was how we wrapped up the day.
Sunday-final yoga class
We ended our weekend with a final morning yoga class. Looking forward to sharing all the details later this week.
That’s how I said Goodbye October
Sorry about the running and hope you can get that sorted out soon. Good work on the peleton and a great week of photos. Dawn yoga and a walk sounds super!
I hope I get it sorted out soon too! Thanks
Sorry to hear your hip pain is sticking around. You did a great job of staying active! I love your dress from the Tuesday night event.
I am bummed about the hip pain too ugh. Thanks it was fun to dress up for a change
Booo — so sorry to hear about your hip pain. But wow you are amazing with all the activity you still did! I need to get into yoga. And you look fabulous for the Tuesday night event!
Thanks so much and yes I did do my best to stay active this week
I’m so sorry to hear about your hip! Just when you were having some good runs again. Fingers crossed that it calms down soon! Looks like a really fun girls weekend and just what you needed.
I know I feel like the rug just got yanked out from under me! I know you know exactly what I mean.
So sorry your hip is still being an issue. You did a great job of working around it though! Your night on the town looks lovely! Can’t wait to hear more about the yoga retreat.
Thanks and yes the weekend was lots of fun
What a busy but fun week for you! I have also loved all the photos you’ve been sharing from the yoga retreat this weekend.
You look absolutely stunning in that dress – red is your color! 🙂
We did have a really relaxing few days!
You must have injured yourself but I missed it? Hope all the yoga helped! Sounds like so much & fun.
You look great all dolled up & also in costume for your runners!
That soup (and the bread) look amazing. I just have to be so careful with those sorts of carbs. 😔
Hope you can get back to running soon!
I actually have no idea how I injured myself! It just hurts. The yoga felt really great though. Thanks it was fun to dress up and go out on the town
The yoga retreat (with all the girls!!!) looked so fun! Bummer on the hip…hope that is feeling better soon. The pic of you and the hubby is gorgeous…you both look awesome!
Total bummer on the hip and I have no idea how I did it. Thanks we had fun all weekend
You had a fantastic, busy week! You and your hubby look great at the event, but I love your Wonder Woman costume.
Thanks so much! Going from workout clothes to black tie to wonder woman is not easy!
Your yoga retreat sounds like the perfect start to your birthday month!
Thanks for the linkup!
A great start to the month for sure!
Sorry about the angry hip. Give it time, you’ll be running soon enough. Great pic of you and hubby all dressed up. Love it!
Thanks and I really hope you are right about the hip thing super frustrating
You look gorgeous in that red dress, so fun to get all dolled up occasionally!
I really hope you feel better next week and can get back to running, though you’re lucky to have access to lots of other options!
Yes trying to stay active as best I can. Really hope to be back at running soon!
Thanks for the yummy looking recipe. I’m going to put it on my list because I do have a large pack of tortellini that I need to use! Perfect timing. Sorry about the lack of running. You did keep quite busy though. I struggle to find things to do when I can’t run. Looking forward to hearing about the retreat!
It is challenging to find the same level of workouts when you can’t run. You will love the soup so good!
Sorry about your hip! It seems like you were still able to get in alot of good workouts. Hopefully all that yoga this weekend will help it to feel better!
It is definitely on the mend fingers crossed!n thanks
It looks like a fun, busy week! I hope your hip feels better soon and you can get back into running!
Thanks so do I!
You are stunning in that gown! (and you and your hubby are a gorgeous couple!)
You also make an incredible Wonder Woman!
I love it! Such a fun and great week!
Aww thanks so much it was a busy week!
October in the DMV really went out with a bang, right?! Where was your nature walk?
Yes we sure did have a crazy mix of weather! We were on a weekend yoga retreat on the eastern shore. Beautiful weekend to be there
That sucks about your hip! I hope you feel better soon. You look gorgeous in your red dress. Love it!
Thanks so much and yes the hip thing is no fun at all
