Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. Time to say Goodbye September! If you read my Runfessions post, you know that we are still having summer like temps around here. I am doing my best to stop whining about it and continue to work on building my running mileage back. I am happy to report that I had a much better week this week.
Goodbye September
Monday- Peloton 40 min cycling + 60 min strength training
Never miss a Monday. Continuing my hit it hard Monday morning schedule. In case you missed my Meatless Monday earlier this week, my Matzo Ball Ramen Noodle Soup was a big hit with my soup club. Hope you will check it out. It was too good not to share.
Tuesday- 4 mile Run
We had a nice big group today! Also today was the start of our fall season for Girls on The Run. More on that later.
Wednesday-30 min Peloton + 90 minute strength training and kick boxing
Wednesdays are also my longest workout days. Having some fun with some balance challenges with this one legged row.
Thursday- 4 mile run
Another fun big group today so of course we were up to some shenanigans.
Friday- 45 min Peloton
I had heard a lot of buzz about this 45 minute country music ride and I decided to give it a go. I did not recognize any of the music or the bands but wow it was a sweat fest. Fun to try something new!
Saturday- 5 mile run
Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel with my running. Over all, this week was so much better. Come one fall let’s do this. I am counting on you.
Sunday-Walk to End Alzheimer’s
On the plan for this afternoon. My family is walking in remembrance of my grandmother who passed away 5 years ago. I will be recapping the event this week.
Are you ready to say Goodbye September too? Thanks for linking up and mark your calendars for the Ultimate Coffee Date next Friday and Saturday.
I’m always so jealous of your peloton rides. Maybe someday I’ll get one … congrats on all the workouts! And I’m not ready for Sept. to be over yet 🙁
I do love my Peloton!
I’m so ready for cooler weather, but don’t want to skip fall and go straight into winter. At least my super early morning runs have been in the high 50’s – low 60’s. It looks like overnight lows this week won’t be so cool…
Thanks for the linkup!
No this week looks like a sweaty one again!
Great pics and I’m impressed you’re all still in your shorts! Capris and even tights for me this week. I keep reading about peleton here now by the way -it’s really hit the UK. I am sort of inclined to try to sell my rowing machine and cross trainer and put the money towards it but not sure I can take the hit.
Well I’m unfortunately still in shorts and tanks bc it’s still quite warm. After this week it looks better
I’ve never been MORE ready to say goodbye to September. And usually it’s my favorite month (birthday month *wink* )
I bet the fall running is really going to do amazing things for you!
I sure have my fingers crossed!
I’m so glad to see you had a better week of running! Me too! Of course, our weather is much cooler here. Sending some your way.
That would be fantastic! Looks like we have one more week of summer to get through
Heck, I’m already ready to say goodbye to 2019! The ramen/matzo ball soup looks amazing. Happy New Year!
My FIL had dementia. My dad has some now, too. Has for a while. Mr. Judy recently volunteered at an Alzheimers walk (I was out of town, of course). Good for you for attending, although I’m very sorry about your grandmother.
Thanks it has been 5 years since she passed. It was a very tough thing to watch as you most likely are aware. It was nice to walk together today as a family.
YaYYYYY!!!!! So glad the running mojo is staging a major comeback 😉 I had to laugh at your comment about country music…I am not much of a fan, and only recognize a handful of songs. Some of it is okay, but a lot of it just wanger-twanger for my taste LOL Solid week of workouts, Deborah! Great job!!
Septembers are also whacky crazy busy around here, so I guess I’m glad that part is over, but knowing I won’t be seeing many more years of cross country running or marching bands makes me a little sad. High school is so much fun! I’m always so impressed with the variety of your workouts. Well done!
yes the high school years sure do fly by! Enjoy them while you can. Thanks I do like to mix up my workouts thanks for joining us
I can’t believe September is over! The themed music rides sound like a lot of fun – I was thinking of doing something similar with the new class that I teach.
I think that would go over well! When I used to teach I did that a lot and also did a decades ride which was fun
I sure am ready to say goodbye to summer weather! It’s ridiculous. So glad to hear your running groove is coming back. It sounds like a nice way to remember your grandmother. L’shanah tovah!
Thanks! Busy few days with the holidays coming this week. Looks like we will get a break if we can make it to next weekend!
Yep! I’m all in for fall! The weather definitely took a turn here this week. It got chilly in the house in that “turn on the heat” way. Of course I won’t turn it on and it WILL warmup up but still. GOTR here has so many volunteers in this school district that you are not allowed to participate unless you have a child in the program. How crazy is that?
Wow I’ve never heard of anyone turning away volunteers! I have to beg people to help us out
So glad you had a better week of running! I am so hoping that with October the fall weather will finally stick around.
Thanks for the link-up!
So do I! I miss my longer runs
Another great week of running, spinning and strength training for you!
I love that you were able to do today’s walk with your family in honor of your grandma <3
It was nice to honor her today. It’s been 5 years but still miss her.
Are you coaching Girls on the Run? I did a few years ago and enjoyed it. A friend asked me if I would be interested this Fall but I haven’t decided due to timing. Will you be doing any races in the upcoming months?
Yes I this is my 11th season coaching GOTR. I absolutely love it! I took over the program at my kids’ old Elem School a few years ago.
Oh you’re why I’m randomly craving matzoh ball soup. Meanie :p
OH good! 🙂
I am all about this cooler weather too. I was in Rhode Island last week and it felt much better up there, hoping it cools down our way soon!
Oh I bet it was really nice up there!
September was a good month but it ended with such warm weather! Now I’m officially ready for October and cooler weather. Great job this week!
You and me both! I think if we can get through this week, it will be much beter
I’m trying to be positive and embrace the transition from summer to fall but yes it’s so tough especially since I’m really ready for some good temps! We had a teaser this past week and its hard to go back to heat and humidity when you get a small teaser of the beautiful weather to come!
I’m ready for fall race season to start picking up though! I’ve got several over the next few months so that’s something I’m really looking forward to.
Yes that is exactly how I feel! Hope we both get some cooler temps soon
That’s great that you had a lot of people for your group runs this week. I got to try a peleton for the first time last week and really enjoyed it 🙂
They are lots of fun!
September left with a vengeance here – we had snow over the weekend and it was low 20s this morning!
Wow that’s crazy! We are still in a heat wave over here
