Thanks for joining Kim and Me for the Weekly Run Down today. Well, Hello October it’s nice to see you. Have I told you that you are my favorite? It’s taper time for me this week so I am taking it easy on workouts. I will finally be running the Wine Glass Half Marathon on Sunday. I know that I will serve myself well by taking it easy this week so that’s what I did. Here is a peek into my week.
Hello October! It’s Taper Week
Monday- Peloton cycle + core + upper body and stretch
I do like to hit it hard on Mondays. Today, I still did all of my normal workouts but cut the workout time in half. I do not want to be sore for the race.
Tuesday- 4 mile run + stretch
Easy peasy run today on a day that felt much more like summer than fall.
Wednesday- core class + stretch + 2 mile walk
Keeping it in low gear again today. I do not want to be sore from strength training so I just did core. Starting to get a little antsy though!
Thursday 4 mile run + stretch + Drive to Corning, NY
Hello, fall weather! Last run before my half race this weekend. Felt really good out there and excited for race day. My friend and I drove up to Corning this afternoon about 4.5 hours not too bad.
Friday- hip/glute activation + stretch + 6 mile walking around Ithaca
We spent the day walking around Ithaca and Cornell. A fun little town with lots of cute stores and restaurants. We stopped to check out some waterfalls and beautiful scenery. Fall is in full bloom here and I love it!
Saturday- expo and packet pick up
A low key day picking up our race packets and walking around the quaint town of Corning. It is such a cute little town.
Sunday- Wine Glass Half Marathon
It’s finally racing day after a long taper week. Can’t wait to tell you all about it next week!
We kind of had similar weeks. I wasn’t tapering, but in a bit of a recovery mode from the previous weekend, so I kept things pretty light and low-impact. I’ll be thinking ofyou (as I sit on a cramped airplane LOL) this morning…good luck!
Thanks Kim! Sorry I missed seeing you this weekend
Oh, that is such a lovely part of New York! Nice you had some time to enjoy it.
I hope you have a great race today!
Long drives aren’t bad when it’s a road trip with a friend!

So excited for you!!! Good luck this morning. Looking forward to reading all about it!!
Thanks Wendy it was fantastic! Can’t wait to recap it all this week

I hope you had a wonderful race day! I’ve heard such great things about Wineglass, but with my 50 state goal (and having already run NYC) I don’t know if I’ll make it there any time soon. But it sounds pretty lovely. Enjoy the rest and recovery now after all your hard work Deboraho!
It is a great venue and I would definitely add it to your bucket list
