Weekly Run Down Goodbye October

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

    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.

    • Deborah Brooks says

    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.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/03/2019 at 4:58 pm

    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

      11/03/2019 at 5:01 pm

      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

  8. Kimberly Hatting says

    11/03/2019 at 4:02 pm

    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!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/03/2019 at 5:04 pm

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/03/2019 at 6:40 pm

    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

      11/04/2019 at 8:48 am

      It is challenging to find the same level of workouts when you can’t run. You will love the soup so good!

  14. Lisa @ Mile by Mile says

    11/04/2019 at 4:33 am

    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!
