Thanks for joining in for the weekly run down today with me and Kim. I truly enjoy reading what everyone is doing workout wise all week.

Wednesday-15 min core + upper body x 2 + 30 min Peloton cycle + stretch + foam roll

Knew I would be doing a longer run on Thursday and wanted to make sure that I got in some good stretching and rolling. Cinco De Mayo cheesy tank on point!

Mother's day

Thursday- 10 Mile Run + stretch

Who says long runs have to be done on the weekend? We took advantage of the great weather and the fact that we basically trained for races that aren’t happening. Knocked out a nice 10 miler on a gorgeous spring morning.

mother's day

Afternoon mani pedi with my mom. I finally coaxed her out of her house. Once she got there she was pretty relaxed and enjoyed her afternoon. Always feels amazing to have someone rub your feet and calves after a long run.

Friday-20 m strength for runners + core + upper body + 20 min yoga

Surprisingly, I was not sore at all from my long run but did not want to push it. I skipped my cycle and just did some strength and core. Finished up with my 100th Peloton yoga class. If it’s not a live class, does anyone even know it happened? Ha! I do and badge earned!

Peloton Pick of the week: Favorite class I took was this 10m in core

Mother's day

First time dining in a restaurant in over a year! It felt pretty normal and we had a great time. Can’t believe I forgot a photo because I actually had real clothes and makeup on!

If you have not yet entered my Running Bra Giveaway please “run” over and enter a win a bra of your choice from the new Brooks Running Drive Collection on my IG. thanks!

Mother's day

Saturday-Rest Day

Did my daily stretch class and a short walk outside on a gorgeous day.

Sunday- Mother’s Day Run (6 miles on the plan)

Always my favorite way to start off Mother’s Day. Headed to my parents for an outside brunch with them and my sister’s family. So happy to have my son home for the summer.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone! Hope you have a fantastic day. How are you celebrating? 

Hope you pop in tomorrow to catch my easy Spiced Corn Ribs recipe. A vegan summer BBQ option for everyone to enjoy.

    Happy Mother’s Day! Enjoy your brunch. I think we were to gather outside as well but it looks like the weather is not going to cooperate today. Ugh.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/09/2021 at 5:59 am

      It is not looking so great outside here either. Hope you have a nice Mother’s Day

    Hope you have a nice Mother’s Day! It will just be the 3 of us today since my mom is in Texas with my sister (who is having her baby any day now). Hoping it doesn’t rain and we can get outside! Glad you are starting to do some more “normal” stuff and that it felt pretty comfortable!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/09/2021 at 6:02 am

      That is exciting that you will be an aunt! It is not so nice out today but we will have fun anyway. Hope you have a nice mother’s day!

    Happy Mother’s Day!!! I hope you have a wonderful day. We’re not expecting to be outside, but I’m looking forward to seeing my oldest son!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/09/2021 at 3:27 pm

      Hope you had a great mother’s day! It is nice when the kids come back home isn’t it?

    I feel lucky I can do long runs mid week too! Nice job Deborah & Happy Mother’s Day — to you & your mom!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/09/2021 at 3:31 pm

      Yes it is nice to be able to take advantage of the weather and do long runs when you want to

    Happy Mother’s Day to one of my fav mother-runners 😉 Solid week for you (no surprises there). It’s cold (ummm…38F???) and rainy right now, but it’s “forecast” to be sunny, dry and warm by late this afternoon…so, we’ll be Mother’s Day dining inside, but we’ll make it work.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/09/2021 at 3:31 pm

      It was unusually cold for May today but made for some great running temps!

    Happy Mother’s Day! Brunch sounds great. I’m glad you got your mom to enjoy a mani/pedi. I am overdue for one myself. Congrats on 100 Peloton yoga classes. I’ve been surprised by my milestones lately, but I usually take classes on demand anyway.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/09/2021 at 3:32 pm

      We did have a nice day today hope you did too. I most usually do them on demand as well. It’s hard to find live ones that work for me. I am all into the badges though it’s fun to see them pop up

  7. Debbie @ Deb Runs says

    05/09/2021 at 10:29 am

    Congrats on another great week of workouts, Deborah! Yay for spending time with your mom while getting a mani/pedi! Happy Mother’s Day!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/09/2021 at 3:35 pm

      Thanks! Happy Mother’s Day to you as well

    Never can do long runs during the week.

    Happy Morhers Day.

    I celebrated with two awesome hikes this morning

    Mid week long run- so jealous! It’s a nice change when that works out. 10 miles! Way to go.

    Happy Mother’s Day!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/09/2021 at 3:45 pm

      It is nice when that works out!

    Yay for mani pedis and also dining in a restaurant!!! Tuesday will be two weeks since my second shot and I’m looking forward to a restaurant meal as well.
    Enjoy your brunch with your family- Happy Mother’s Day!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/09/2021 at 3:48 pm

    I’ll definitely check in tomorrow for the spiced corn ribs. I was able to do my long run on Friday a few times last year and I really liked having it done before the weekend.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/09/2021 at 4:44 pm

      It is nice to knock it out sometimes!

  14. Kim G says

    05/09/2021 at 4:32 pm

    Hope you’re having a great Mother’s Day!

    I have that core class with Olivia bookmarked and am looking forward to taking it – thanks for the suggestion!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/09/2021 at 4:45 pm

      It is a good one I’ve done it a few times already. I like when they use the time without too many breaks

  15. Zenaida Arroyo says

    05/09/2021 at 8:34 pm

    I hope you had a wonderful day with your mom! I love the idea of a manicure/pedicure!! am so used to doing a long run on Saturday that it will feel weird if I get it done any other day.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/10/2021 at 6:57 am

      We did have a nice day thanks. Hope you and your mom had lovely mother’s day too

  16. Cari says

    05/09/2021 at 9:01 pm

    Glad you had such a good week and mother’s day. Yay on pain free long runs, and pedis do indeed feel so nice post run. Happy 100! And I did that core too — gee I wonder who gave me that idea? 😀

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/10/2021 at 6:58 am

      Yes pedis and long runs are a great combo. That was a good core class trying a few more this week

  17. Renée @runlaugheatpie says

    05/09/2021 at 11:12 pm

    your week was on point Deborah! great job! and why not do the long run mid week if it suits? glad you got in some good time with your mom and hope you had a good mother’s day as well.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/10/2021 at 7:00 am

      I did thanks so much
