Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. We are loving all of the support and encouragement that all of our friends are bringing each week. Well Hello October! Let’s do this.
Monday-55 min Peloton ride
Today was a Jewish Holiday so my schedule was off. While I was not able to get in my usual strength training, I did mange to get in my Peloton rices before heading to synagogue.
Tuesday- 3.75 mile run
The calendar says Hello October but someone forgot to tell mother nature. We had a serious heat wave this week with temps back in the mid 90’s. Not exactly the weather I was hoping for. Tough running conditions.
Wednesday- 40 min Peloton + 90 strength training and kick boxing
Trying to make up for my missed workout on Monday. I worked so hard that I forgot to take a photo. ha!
Thursday- 3 mile run
Whew it was a killer out there! I barely made it my 3 miles. Fall where are you?
Friday- 45 min Peloton
I am so close to hitting my 100th ride on the Peloton. I am trying to coordinate to hit my 100th ride when my fave instructor, Denis, is teaching live. Fingers crossed I will be lucky enough to get a shout out from him.
Saturday-7 mile run
Hello October! Let’s do this! Knowing we were going to wake up to fall, we planned a DC monument run. There is nothing like a 30 degree temperature drop to give this runner back her mojo. Coach Jess had 5 on my plan for today but we kind of got lost . I am happy to report that I actually enjoyed running and you really can’t beat this back drop. I will be sharing more about my “monumental run” in a few days. Right now, I am just going to enjoy my runner’s high that just reappeared.
Thinking of “running for Congress”.
Thanks for joining us today! Hope to see you tomorrow for Meatless Monday.
Love your monument run. So fun.
Our temps went from summer to fall in a few days.
What I hate is the shorter days.
agreed the shorter days are kind of a bummer but cannot beat these temps
Sounds like Saturday was a great run! Yay for cooler weather – let’s hope it sticks around for a while!
It was a real game changer for me
Yay, you finally have fall weather!!!!! Your monumental run pics are awesome 😉
I was so happy to actually love running again 🙂
A belated Shanah Tovah to you and your family! Great job still getting it in even around a change in schedule. Hopefully the cooler weather will stay around for a little for you — I’m not ready for winter but fall running is some of my favorite.
Thanks for the new year’s wishes! Yes hoping the fall weather is exactly what I need to get my running back on track
Is there a phone in that phone box? LOL. I saw an actual payphone somewhere in Chicago last year…I didn’t know they still existed!
I absolutely love your action shot in front of the Capitol!
No phone in there anymore just the empty box. 🙂 We had fun running downtown. I need to go do it more often
Overachiever 🙂 Great job this week! Glad you had some better weather, I can’t believe it was still that hot there earlier in the week!
It was a crazy week weather wise. I finally feel good and am enjoying running again.
Love your running for Congress! And Happy New Year.
I can’t believe some of the running clothes I’ve had to break out the last couple of days!
Happy new year to you as well. We had fun running downtown and I have to do it more often
Wow – amazing heatwave! I’ve had some times sitting on the deck of the holiday cottage in the sun, reading, but also been blown around and rained on till I felt like I was in a washing machine!
I am so glad our heat wave is gone!
Oh man, we had similar weather where it was bizarrely hot this week and gloriously cool on Saturday. I’m jealous of your monument run. I mean, I ran past our town’s Lincoln memorial this week, which is plaque commemorating his visit in 1860, but it doesn’t really compare, does it;-)
No I guess that would not compare. I really take them all for granted. I am going to do a longer post this week with the route
Yesterday was so gorgeous! It’s why fall is my favorite season. Today was meh, but at least not hot! Great pics by the Capitol! Can you record the Peleton class in case you do get a shout-out?
I was so happy out there yesterday! The Peloton class will go into their library the next day so I can go back and record it if he gives me a call out. He better do it!!
Love your DC monument run. What a fun way to not only see so many cool sites, but also get some miles in as well!
Yes it sure was!
Great workouts this week! It would be fun to run around DC I think. I haven’t been there for years, but we keep saying we need to put it on our travel calendar.
I hope you make back to DC soon!
Yesterday was such a gorgeous day for a run. How great that you took advantage of taking in some DC sights on such a beautiful morning!
Thanks for the linkup!
I was so happy to be out there and actually enjoyed running for the first time in ages
That calling fall picture is the best. We went A ugust-November before settling back in October. Hope fall is here to stay
Can’t recall if you fast for Yom Kippur, but have a safe & healthy one if you do.I was at a friend’s place yesterday afternoon / evening for end of sabbath blessing. Forgot how beautiful that can be/
Thanks for the holiday wishes. 🙂 Hoping fall is here to stay for both of us! Have a great week
That last photo is awesome! And I love the caption. Lol!
Thanks we had fun out there
Did the latter part of the week cool down for you? I was so thankful for some cooler weather that was less humid! Such a fun monument run
Oh yes we finally were treated to fall this weekend and I was so happy!
It was so nice to get a break from the heat this weekend! Hopefully the fall weather is here to stay. Thats awesome that you are almost at 100 Pelaton rides!
The weather was fabulous this weekend wish we could bottle it up!
I love the monument runs! It was one of my favorite things I did while I was up there. I need fall weather to come down to Florida. We had like one week of nice weather and now we’re back to 100% humidity. It’s killing me.
After a few days of cooler temps it gives me hope! Running in the humidity is just a killer. I really hope it cools for you a bit too
That Saturday weather was so nice! I loved having a short run in the cooler temperatures.
It sure was delightful!
Those photos from your Monumental Run are epic! You ladies look amazing, strong and happy.
Thanks we had a really fun morning out there
Yeah, fall’s not here either and I’m kind of over it. Just a dip in humidity please.
Love that came to sweat tank and that photo in DC. It’s such a great angle and fun shot!
We welcomed in fall with open arms!
What is that “thing” you are standing next to in the first pic? 😀
ha ha I know too fun!
those monument run photos are AWESOME! and I bet if you “ran” for congress you’d do a better job than half the people already in there haha!
I’d be happy for you to send me any extra warmth you guys have. it’s ridiculously cold here.
Seems like we all have weather envy of some sort. The grass is always greener…
It was also a HOT one on Tuesday. It was 90 degrees while I was out running and struggled to run 3 miles. So cool about your 100th ride! LOVE the last photo.
Hopefully we won’t have anymore 90 degree days this year!
