Thanks for joining Kim and me for the weekly run down today. Happy birthday to me today and hello 52! I don’t have any big plans this year but birthdays should always be celebrated right? Here’s a peek into my week of workouts.
It’s my Birthday
Monday- core +stretch + low impact Peloton ride
I was exhausted from the whirlwind Chicago trip and Hot Chocolate race. Traveling on the time change day through a different time zone left me feeling wiped out. I did some stretching and core and then a short low impact Peloton ride just to keep the legs moving.
Tuesday- 5 mile run + stretch
Feeling much better this morning. We had the most gorgeous day finishing our run in the ’60s for November. We all overdressed of course because it was in the ’40s when we started. Bright sunshine just had me smiling all day.
Wednesday- core + upper and lower body strength + Peloton cycle
Felt so good to get back to my regular strength routine today after traveling and time changing last week.
Thursday- 6-mile run + stretch
Taking advantage of one more warm fall day here. Slow and easy morning miles. I treated myself to an afternoon mani/pedi.
Friday- Full body strength + Peloton hill cycle
Riding right into my birthday weekend with a smile on my face and a grateful heart.
Saturday- rest day + walk and stretch
Taking my usual Saturday rest day today. I received these beautiful birthday flowers from a friend.
Sunday- on the plan- group birthday run
It’s my birthday! I have a group run planned with some of my running besties this morning. Then, my husband and I will be going out to dinner tonight. Looking forward to some yummy birthday cake later. I am hoping to get home in time for a live yoga class with Denis and maybe a birthday shoutout.
Thanks for all the lovely birthday wishes! I am feeling very loved and grateful today. I can’t wait to have both of my kids home next weekend.
Happy Birthday! It really was a nice having some warmer weather and sunshine last week. All the colors are so pretty right now!
thanks! And yes everything is so beautiful right now I love it
Happy birthday. Run with friends is the best way to celebrate and enjoy your dinner out.

Birthdays should be celebrated at every age! Thanks 🙂
Happy birthday! Hope you’re having a lovely day! I have my 50th coming up and people keep asking me what I want to do for it, but really I just want to go for a bit of a run and have a cuppa somewhere. Lovely pics, that view out of your window is superb!
You should definitely celebrate your birthday! the foliage is gorgeous right now

Happy birthday! Gorgeous flowers and gorgeous fall scenery on your runs! I’m envious of your sunny midday runs!
I can imagine that traveling through a time change with DST would be hard on the body! Hope you continue to adjust.
Have a wonderful day!
