Thanks for joining Kim and Me for the Weekly Run Down today. We could not be more thrilled to see so much weekly participation. Thank you all for continuing to share your weekly accomplishments, struggles and successes with us. Well,Hello March nice to see you.
Weekly Run Down Hello March!
Monday- 30 min Peloton + 60 min strength training + 2.5 mile afternoon walk
Never miss a Monday right? Started my week off strong. Could not miss the warm (almost 60 degree) temps and joined some of the crew for an afternoon walk.
Also in case you missed my Chocolate Covered Cherry Espresso Granola, here is a link to check it out.
Tuesday- 3.2 mile run + foam rolling and stim
A very rare solo run. It was a cold and rainy morning and my crew opted to stay inside. I figured, I was going to shower anyway so outside it was. It was not as bad as I expected and I actually got quite warm.
Wednesday- 30 min Peloton + 90 min strength training and boxing
Lot’s of sweaty boxing today coupled with Bosu work. I have been really into finding new ways to use my Bosu. Looking for some inspiration? Check out my full body Bosu workout for runners .
Thursday-4 mile run
It was a crazy, windy and kind of wacky weather day. The sun was out though and so were we!
Friday- 45 min strength training and 35 min Peloton
Feeling proud of myself for taking the time to do the pre ride warm up, actual ride, cool down and stretch. Felt great and I was ready to take on the day. Take on the day meaning laundry and grocery shopping. I do live on the edge.
Saturday- Leap Day long runn 7 Miles
Leap Day run! Selfie timer skills on point 🙂 Feels good to get back to adding in more mileage.
Sunday- Rest day with some stretching
Well hello March! These last few weeks kind of flew by. Plants and flowers are starting to bloom out there and spring is on the way.
Thanks for joining in today! How are you saying Hello March?
Catrina says
Well done for going out despite cold and rainy morning! I said hello to March by getting this morning at 4am and doing a half-marathon… and I even enjoyed it!
Deborah Brooks says
Wow that’s early! Congrats and looking forward to reading all about it
Beckett @ Birchwood Pie says
Ha ha, I cannot tell you how many workouts I’ve talked myself into “because I need a shower anyway” – it works! I love seeing what everyone is doing each week on the WRD, so happy that you had a taste of spring while I was indoors in a winter wonderland.
Deborah Brooks says
I agree the shower is a great motivator. I love to take a peek into other people’s workout weeks too
Darlene S. Cardillo says
Great selfie pic.
Crazy weather here too. Spring one day. Winter the next.
Getting tired of the layers. Bring on spring!!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes exactly it’s hard to know what is coming next!~
Cari says
I love your radiant smile on Friday. It’s funny how good working out can make us feel. Missed your Bosu post. I’m still trying to figure out how to best use that, so off to read and save.
Totally agree re: shower. It’s part of why I also don’t care about run hair. We’re going to fix it, so why stress. Plus I love running in a light rain
Happy one year anniversary to the Link Up! Craziness. Still so glad you two took it over.
Deborah Brooks says
I love the link up and it’s always one of my favorite days to blog and read. Thanks for linking!
Cari says
Me too. There’s no coincidence that it’s the only day I’m ever mostly caught up
Wendy says
You always look so pretty in your workout photos. Me, I’m such a hot mess. I love seeing your happy face–you’re really enjoying the variety, aren’t you?!
Thanks for the link up.
Deborah Brooks says
You are very sweet! I really do love the variety of my workouts
Stephanie Mitchell says
Awesome work getting it done this week. Loved the bosu moves. Xo
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks they are always challenging and love to have them as part of my workouts
Kimberly Hatting says
Another great week for you!! I love your leap group shot…totally on-point! I need to bring up the Bosu in conversation with the hubby & kids … (#birthday LOL).
Deborah Brooks says
Sounds like a great gift idea!
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
Saying hello to March with a long run — but it definitely felt more like Winter than Spring today, although it will warm up soon.
You had a really strong week, Deborah!
Deborah Brooks says
Much colder where you are for sure but we had some chilly and very windy days. This week looks warmer
Marcia says
I think we finally got your mild, almost 60 degree weather today! That said, it was a gym day for me, but I do see a long dog walk in my future. Thanks for the linkup!
Deborah Brooks says
It was so cold and windy yesterday when I ran and of course it’s warm and gorgeous today!
Liz Dexter says
Great selfie skills! And my version of I will need to shower anyway is I want to get the value out of washing my kit, so I’ll go a bit further!
Deborah Brooks says
Definitely works for me!
Laurie says
What a difference, weather-wise, between Sunday and Thursday! Ugh! nIt does feel good to think “March”, rather than “February”. I am ready for spring even after the wimpy winter we had. That granola looks so yummy! I am stuck in a rut, making the same kind of granola over and over again. I think I need a change.
Deborah Brooks says
Hope my granola gave you some ideas!
Kim G says
Awesome job on your workouts this week, especially those outdoor runs! I love your leap day photo too 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
It was challenging w the wind this week but I am glad that I got it done
Michelle D. says
Definitely a great week for you! And, high marks for the leap shot coordination 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
ha it did take a few tries!
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
The weather was all over the place this past week! We kept getting bursts of snow flurries on Friday even while the sun was shining (none stuck to the ground, though). Looks like you’re continuing to get in some great workouts!
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
Deborah Brooks says
I am feeling a lot better w running again just in time for cherry blossom
Hannah says
I laughed at “I was going to shower anyway” – waste of a shower if you don’t get sweaty first, right?
Deborah Brooks says
Totally! 🙂
Coco says
Well, you sure have fabulous hair for your grocery store and laundry day — or was that for Dennis? 🙂 It was crazy windy on Thursday. Reminded me of the day a sign crashed through my car windshield, so I was extra careful where I parked. I hope March is another strong month for you!
Deborah Brooks says
OH yes I do remember that! We get some serious wind out on the trail sometimes too. I am not ready to get on my bike yet but I am looking forward to it
Laura S Norris says
Another good week of workouts for you! I hope March continues the trend! It’s so true about timing workouts with showers. Why not sweat if you need to shower?
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks I am starting to feel like I am getting my running mojo back
angela @ happy fit mama says
Wait…plants and flowers are starting to bloom?!?! Our snow is all gone but the ground is frozen solid. I think we’ll see your weather in another month or so. Winter isn’t over just yet!
Nice week of workouts! Don’t you love when you nail a self timer jump shot? 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Ha yes it took a few takes but we sure were proud of ourselves!
Montana @ Pretty Lil Mudder says
Wow that jump shot was on a selfie timer? That is impressive!
Deborah Brooks says
It took a few tries but yes we did it!
Shathiso says
Another great week for you and well done for getting that solo run in the cold done! Best of luck with March!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks I was feeling pretty accomplished this week
Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
The weather was all over the place this week! Glad you were able to get outside for your runs. I’m getting tired of the wind lately!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes it’s pretty much get out or do something else. I am so not a treadmill fan
Renee says
Good week Deborah! Glad you were able to get out in the sunshine as well! have to take advantage of that, right?
I often live on the edge on my day off like you did hahaha – laundry and groceries LOL!
Deborah Brooks says
Definitely have to take advantage of the sunshine when we have it!
Chaitali says
I’m impressed you all made it outside on Thursday! The wind was crazy that day. I’m excited for March and it looks like we’ll be able to start out with some nice weather this week 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
It was super windy last week! This week looks a lot warmer
Laetitia says
The weather was all over the place this week! I feel like half my runs I was overdressed for and the other half underdressed for ! And that’s despite checking the weather pretty religiously 😉
Deborah Brooks says
I know it was wacky!
Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
Looks like you had some great weather this week! My days off often consist of grocery shopping and meal planning. Crazy stuff! 😉
Deborah Brooks says
I try to fill up my rest days as well bc I get antsy
Jenn says
OMG I finally almost got on the Bosu this week! The PT put it out for me but didn’t like how my foot looked on it, so switched me to something else.l I was like “nooooo! I want it back!”
Happy March! Here’s to beautiful days and great fitness!
Deborah Brooks says
I know you will get there soon!
Zenaida Arroyo says
I love your picture and smile on Friday. Ha, I never look like that!!! I am happy March is here cause that means Spring is almost here too.
Deborah Brooks says
That means you need to do more Peloton classes they always make me smile
