Thanks for joining Kim and me today for the Weekly Run Down. Happy Mother’s Day to all of my favorite mother runners out there! We appreciate your taking a few minutes to join us and share your successes for the week.
Not the most exciting week around here but I did manage to keep myself busy.
Monday-50 min cycle + Peloton Upper Body, lower body and core classes + 3 mile afternoon power walk
Never miss a Monday! Good day all around. Baked some banana bread and walked to drop it off for a friend which gave me a nice 3 mile afternoon walk.
Tuesday- Cinco de Mayo MRTT virtual 5K + stretch class
Well Cinco de Mayo started out great with the Sombrero and 5k and ended as an epic fail. The dinner we ordered was canceled at the last minute because they ran out food. It quite the comedy of errors. I was happy for the restaurant because they have been hit hard and were not expecting such a large crowd. A little disappointing but understandable with all going on. Pizza to the rescue!
Wednesday-50 min Peloton cycle + upper body, core & stretch classes
We had a do over and enjoyed our Mexican food finally. Why are chips and Queso so good?!
Thursday- 4 mile walk/run + 2 mile afternoon walk
This run turned into more of a walk but that’s ok at least I am moving. My legs have been really sore from the extra strength training and biking and just were not feeling it. It was a really nice day and happy to be out in the sunshine.
Friday-40 min Peloton + core strength & upper body class
Rainy do so no afternoon walk unfortunately. Loving finding new to me cycle classes that really challenge me more. Afternoon MRTT Zoom happy hour.
Saturday- 3.5 mile Power Walk + stretch and core
Woke up to sunny yet crazy temps and wind. Moved my run to Sunday and headed out on a power walk. Multitasking with our virtual book club discussion.
Sunday- ON the plan 5 mile run
Heading over to my parents’ house for a quick Mother’s Day check in from across the lawn. Feels so odd not to be able to be near my parents especially today.
Happy Mother’s Day to all my favorite moms out there! Hope everyone is having a fantastic day.
Nice week! I always live seeing your colourful and pretty outfits.
It will definitely be a strange Mother’s Day seeing each other from afar!
It will be a strange Mother’s Day this year for sure!
A good active week! It’s not Mother’s Day here – ours was in Feb but just about when we weren’t locked down but were being careful so Matthew didn’t go over to see his mum. I ran 4x and got 21 miles in so happy with that.
That’s fantastic Liz! Happy Mother’s Day
I can’t believe the restaurant ran out of food! I guess that’s a good thing, right? Nice week of workouts for you and I just love all your outfits!
Thanks I am entertaining myself with all the fun activewear
Happy Mother’s Day! Would love to see which Peloton strength classes you are doing. Looks like you are doing double or triple workouts these days, with bike + strength + walking.
Yes I am doing double workouts most days. Keeps me busy! Happy to suggest some classes to you let’s chat
Happy Mother’s Day to one of my fav mother runners & friends 🙂 Great glass-half-full attitude with the Mexican dinner…and it all played out well the next day. Lots of great walking!
It did work out in the end. I am really enjoying all walking and plan to keep it up
Oh wow sorry they ran out of food. A good problem for them I guess but still disappointing. I’m sure it’s hard to prepare for demand in these times of stay at home.
We ended up having our takeout Mexican food night on Saturday.
I’d planned on visiting my mom from a distance today but it’s cold and pouring so that won’t happen.
Happy Mother’s Day!
It is hard not to be with our moms when we normally would!
Happy Mother’s Day and I hope your run is a good one! It is very odd to have my relationship with my parents be at a driveway’s length for the time being, but we’ve still had some good times.
I feel exactly the same way but at least we are close enough to do the driveway thing!
Glad you can still check in with your mom! Hope you get some pampering today, too.
You kind of have to roll with whatever you can get these days, right?
You sure do!
Sounds like my Cinco De Mayo fail. The restaurants (all of them!) were swamped. Good for them though! At least we got to enjoy a drink 🙂 Once again you are crushing it on the workouts! How many classes are you up to now on Peloton?
Thanks I have been taking a bunch of classes! I am up to 325 on cycling and over 600 w strength. Kind of fun!
A check in from across the lawn sounds like a wonderful solution in these crazy times. Glad you’re able to somewhat see them. We just Zoomed. With a 5/2 year old it was nothing if not entertaining.
How frustrating that the restaurant ran out of food, but glad you were able to find a solution that didn’t involve you cooking. Was your book club book one you’d recommend? Always after new ideas.
Yes it was nice to see my parents. Yes I recommend the Long Bright River book it was good.I am now reading a mystery legal thriller BestFriend and I also downloaded Oona out of order on audible for my walks.
Ooh thank you for the recommendations. Adding to my Goodreads. Finally getting back into reading more after a brain break
fantastic!
Happy Mother’s Day! My parents don’t live near me, so I rarely see my mom on Mother’s Day, so it doesn’t feel all too different, but I can imagine it is odd when you normally get together in person!
Great week of workouts- so much strength, you’re an inspiration!
Thanks for hosting the link-up!
Yes it is weird bc my parents only live 15 min away. We do usually do a big to do for Mother’s Day. Perhaps Father’s Day this year.Thanks I am doing a lot of ST. Not loving running alone but the ST is fun!
Mexican food is just divine in all its many forms. Hispanic food in general. I mean if I could live off that the rest of my life I’d gladly do it. My body was also extra sore this week so I totally get taking it easy!
Happy Mother’s Day! Hope you had a great one!
I was really sore from so much ST too this week. The bootcamps are hard and I am going to do more of them this week
Happy Mother’s Day! Glad you were able to see your family, even if from a distance. I wish we could see ours this Mother’s Day, but at least we have Facetime! Good work on all of that strength training!
Happy Mother’s Day to you as well!
Oh man, that’s a runner about the into de Mayo dinner but on the flip side it was super positive the restaurant. Glad you were able to get pizza – pizza always comes to the rescue lol.
Saturday’s weather was comical – I still can’t believe how cold it was yesterday!
Pizza is always the hero of the day!
Happy Mother’s Day to you! Glad you had a good week of workouts and YES we had crazy weather too. It was in the 30s and snowing yesterday, brr! I ended up still going out for a run but I was not happy to have to wear all the clothes, gloves, etc. thank goodness none of it stuck!
It was sort of crazy what else can the universe throw at us!?
We cooked on Cinco de Mayo but I heard a couple of our favorite spots ran out of food too. I guess that’s good that they were busy – I can’t imagine how hard it is to keep a restaurant going these days!
I’m glad you’re going to go see your mom. I caught up with mine via FaceTime – feels so odd not to be with her. Happy Mother’s Day!
Yes I am happy for the restaurants and I finally did get my queso!
The wind yesterday was so crazy!! I was definitely feeling it when I headed out for the run portion of our CrossFit “triathlon.” Ooof. Definitely had to work for those 2 quick miles!
I love that you baked banana bread and walked to deliver it. That sounds exactly like something I would do.
Great week!!
Funny nothing I would have done before this whole thing. I really hope I keep up all of my walking!
Sounds like a good week, hope you had a nice Mother’s day!
Thanks you too!
Happy Mother’s Day, Deborah!
The weather has been crazy and all over the place this past week. I’m the opposite of you – had I been running my 4-miler, I would have gone outside, but since I was walking, I used the treadmill.
So sorry that you couldn’t visit with your mom today in the way you normally do. We were just wondering about our next trip to see my mom (who’s 86) whenever we feel it’s safe to go there. We’re wondering if we should wear masks the whole time we’re there (it’s a six-hour drive so we can’t just pop in for a short visit). It’s just so hard to know what to do…
It is very hard to know what to do! I was glad I waited to run today it was gorgeous out
Happy Mother’s Day. Kudos on a great week of workouts and colorful outfits.
Our weather has been so crazy…snow and insane wind yesterday had me postpone my birthday run until today. I can’t wait until this is all over whenever that it…
I know what else will the universe do next?!
Happy Mother’s Day! It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to be with my mom on Mother’s Day but thank goodness for Facetime and Zoom meetups. I love all your colorful outfits…makes me wish spring would get here already!
Thanks I am having fun with all the colorful gear right now
Great week of workouts! It was really weird to not see my mom yesterday. We didn’t do a social distance get together because it would be too hard to keep Grayson at 6 feet from anyone. Not sure how he is going to react when he sees anyone besides me and my husband in person again! Thats too bad about your cinco de Mayo meal. Glad you were able to get some pizza instead!
That’s true I bet he will be so confused!!
Happy Mother’s Day! There were so many adorable mini celebrations this week – I felt like every day had a theme or a holiday!
You had a fabulous week in workouts! I love all your Peloton sessions and seeing you get out there! I’m sure all of this helps pass the time.
Glad you had such a fun week of events! Yes my workouts do help pass the time
Sounds like a good week overall. I love that you baked banana bread and took it over to a friend, what a nice idea 🙂 I hope you had a great mother’s day!
thanks so much!
I heard Cinco de Mayo was a sh*t show. Glad the restos got some much needed support but yeah they needed it just as much the next day and the one after (and I’m glad you finally got your food the next day!!)
Yes it was a comedy of errors but that’s ok!
I know what you mean. Chips and queso is always good!! I had some leftover tacos on Tuesday and a martini. I wanted to make a margarita but did not have all of the ingredients. Pizza is always good though!
pizza is always good!
I hope you had a nice Mother’s Day! I had a Cinco Zoom with my family and my brother in DC and my cousin in Buffalo struggled with getting their online orders too…at least it was a good day for Mexican restaurants that are struggling so much right now!
I haven’t had chips and queso in a long time. I love salsa and guac…and really miss margaritas haha!
Great job with your workouts as always! Love all your colorful outfits!
Sounds like your first mother’s day was pretty great all things considering
