Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down this week. We are loving the great participation each week and look forward to reading all of our fit friends blogs each week. From 5K’s to Marathon training, you all are pretty inspirational each week. This week, we are getting a tease of fall around here and I could not be happier. Is that you fall?
Is That you fall?
Monday- 20min Peloton cycle + 60 min strength training
Feeling a little leg tired from the Tri race yesterday. Did a nice flush out low impact cycle ride and that really helped.
Tuesday-3.15 mile run + 60 min hot yoga
Short run today. It was tough to get the legs moving. Starting to get slightly cooler in the mornings. Hot yoga felt amazing as usual.
Wednesday- 20 min Peloton class + 90 min strength training and kickboxing
Focusing on upper body work today. These pullovers on the ball are always tough. Ever try them?
Thursday- 5 mile run
Hey fall is that you? Woke up to nice cool temps and that made all the difference for me today! I actually enjoyed my run for the first time in months.
Friday- 30 min Peloton + 20 min Peloton Yoga flow
Always feels good to spin it out on tired legs. Followed that up with a Peloton yoga class.
Saturday- 5.5 mile run
Woke up to another cooler morning. We are still going up to the mid 80’s every afternoon but our mornings are getting cooler. That is making all the difference for me. I had another run which left me smiling. Ran through a beautiful rose garden and the flowers are still in bloom. Fall is that you? Please hang around!
Sunday- Rest Day and Soup Club
Rest day for me today! Our soup club starts up again today. I have a really fun recipe to share tomorrow for Meatless Monday. Hope you will stop back in and check it out.
Thanks for joining us! Has fall made an appearance for you yet?
Marcia says
Great week for you! You’re so right: Cooler temps make ALL the difference. Soup club is a definite sign of fall!
Deborah Brooks says
I am so happy to finally be enjoying running again!
Kim G says
I’m so happy that Fall officially starts tomorrow 🙂 I hope the cooler temps stick around.
Can’t wait to see your soup recipe tomorrow!
Deborah Brooks says
I hope they stick around too! I am done with this heat
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
It sounds like you had a great week. And yes, the cooler early morning temps feel wonderful! I ran this morning at 7 AM while it was still cool (63°). It was my first run since last weekend’s half and I felt good, albeit slow…
Thanks for the linkup!
Deborah Brooks says
These cooler early mornings are making all the difference for me!
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
We *had* fall, til this weekend, LOL. Now there’s some Indian summer!MN is still a bit wonky.
Glad you’re getting to enjoy cooler mornings! For me it helps not having to get out so darn early. Have a great week!
Deborah Brooks says
I may have jumped the gun a bit since it’s currently 90! Yes the mornings are better for sure
Melissa says
Ha, it was in the 80s this weekend near us so fall definitely wasn’t here. Luckily, we went hiking and it was shady for our hike so it was closer to 70s and pleasant. I’m not ready for fall yet – I love warm weather and am not looking forward to cold mornings or snow!
Deborah Brooks says
I may have jumped the gun on the fall thing since it’s currently 90! A girl can dream
Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
We actually had a cool evening this week, but the temps have bounced back up. 90 today. Too much!! It Breyer get cool soon around here because I just bought a new pair of capris 🙂 Your bike wall is very inspiring! I like your space.
Deborah Brooks says
I am also ready for capris and fall running clothes. Thanks I really love my bike space
Kimberly Hatting says
Glad to hear you’re finally getting a break in the weather. I know how much you have been craving some cooler temps 😉 Ironically, we had a weird summer-flashback last week, complete with high humidity and steep temps. Personally, I didn’t mind it becasue I know it will not stick around very long…
Deborah Brooks says
May have spoken too soon bc it’s currently pushing 90!
Zenaida Arroyo says
Soup Club? Oh man, you definitely have lots of fun events. Wished you lived closer.
I am excited about Fall and cannot wait.
Deborah Brooks says
Oh yes soup club is one of my favorite activities we do!
Michelle @ Running with Attitude says
Great week! It felt like fall in the mornings too here – it was fantastic. It’s warming up again this week but hopefully, it will get back to fall.
Deborah Brooks says
I sure hope so! I am ready
Beckett @ Birchwood Pie says
Ooh I cannot wait to check in tomorrow and see the soup! It’s 85 today and yet soup sounds really good right now.
Deborah Brooks says
I know it’s 90 here today and I still want to eat my soup
Becca | Rabbit Food Runner says
Oooh I am hoping we get some of that fall weather! We had a taste of it in Chicago a few weeks back but the humidity is back with a vengeance. I started a Soup Group with some friends – we just post recipes and don’t do a get together but I hope that changes as we get more into fall. I look forward to the recipe!
Deborah Brooks says
I may have spoken too fast since it was 90 today! The soup club is super fun 🙂 we cook for each other and swap containers each month
angela @ happy fit mama says
I’m loving the cool mornings/evenings and warm days. This can stick around for a bit IMHO. I know we are going to have a whole lot of cold weather for 7 months so let’s extend it as long as we can. Lol!
Deborah Brooks says
I hope we get some cooler mornings this week too bc it seems summer is back
Darlene says
This past week, the weather was perfect. I want to bottle it.
Deborah Brooks says
I wish we could have bottled a few of our cooler mornings too!
Cari says
Fall is a wicked tease
BUt I feel you on the cool mornings. When I know I’m in a number of work meetings I’m wearing longer sleeves so I don’t need a jacket
Deborah Brooks says
fall is a tease!
Liz Dexter says
It’s autumn here with the leaves turning and crunching under foot. Much nicer running conditions.
No update blog post from me this week as we had to say goodbye to our beloved pet cat, and although I did run and officiate in the week, I didn’t feel up to taking photos or sharing joy, just got out there to keep going and keep routines and have some minutes where I was just thinking about breathing and running hard.
Deborah Brooks says
I am so sorry for your loss big hugs coming your way xoxo
Liz Dexter says
Thank you xx
Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
The cooler mornings have felt amazing! It looks like its going to be hot again today but then maybe get a little cooler over the next week? This time of year can be such a tease with the cooler temps but then the hot days still mixed in there!
Deborah Brooks says
It’s a definite tease for sure! I am so ready for fall
Chaitali says
Sounds like a good week! The cooler mornings have definitely been nice. I look forward to hearing about the soup club recipe 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Yes the cooler mornings were fab but wow it’s hot today! Soup club recipe is up check it out
Laetitia says
OMD, soup club sounds SO fun!!!
Deborah Brooks says
We all love it! Not so much soup weather around here though 🙂
Jenn says
You got after it this week, for sure! I would love to be part of anything called Soup Club. It is getting a wee tiny bit cooler and more breezy here. I’m not going to complain about a slight break in the heat and humidity.
Deborah Brooks says
Soup club is so much fun and pretty easy to organize. Happy to give you more details if you want them
Montana @ Pretty Lil Mudder says
Yes! That early morning fall temp makes all the difference! Same down here in Florida this past weekend…I can actually say I enjoyed each of my runs this weekend up through today. Haven’t truly had an excellent run since early April.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes exactly how I have been feeling! Bring on fall
Hannah says
We’ve had an abrupt transition to fall here! I am definitely not complaining though.
Deborah Brooks says
Ohh I am very jealous!
Darlene says
Great week. You are good good with getting it all done.
The weather has been great. Cool in the am but sunny after work when I run and not too hot except for last monday.
Deborah Brooks says
Well that sounds delightful! I think we have one more week of high temps then we get a break
