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

Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
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!
Deborah Brooks says
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

Total bummer on the hip and I have no idea how I did it. Thanks we had fun all weekend

Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
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!
Deborah Brooks says
It is challenging to find the same level of workouts when you can’t run. You will love the soup so good!
Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
