Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down this week. We are really loving all of the fantastic participation we are seeing each week for this link up. My stand up paddle board triathlon date kind of snuck up on me. But here it is Tri Week. It’s been over a year since I’ve done a traditional triathlon. I’ve never done a stand up paddle board race at all. But here we come!
Weekly Run Down It’s Tri Week
Monday- 30 min Peloton + 5 minute treadmill run + 60 min strength training
After a chill yoga day yesterday, I was ready to get back at it this Monday. Love a strong start to the week.
Tuesday- 4 mile run + 10 minute glute and legs stretch
Just hanging with my crew. It was another hot one out there so fun photos stops definitely get us through.
Wednesday- 30 min Peloton + 5 min treadmill run + 90 min strength training and kick boxing
Always my toughest workout day and this Wednesday was no different. Working on plank skills today. My trainer is a stickler for form so you can imagine how many times I had to do this one to get it just right.
Thursday- 3 mile run + 10 min Peloton abs
It was a tough one out there with temps back in the mid 90’s. We took advantage of our ice tea run route again and made a few stops along the way.
Friday- 45 min Peloton class + 10 min abs
Keeping it low key today because it’s tri week! Just a short workout to keep me sane and sweaty.
Saturday- Planned Rest Day
My Stand Up Paddle Board Triathlon is tomorrow! Eek! I get so antsy on rest days so I went to the farmer’s market and looked around a bit.
Sunday- Stand Up Paddle Board Triathlon
Race day is here! Should be a fun day to try something totally new. Stay tuned for the full recap on Wednesday.
That’s my weekly run down Tri week! Thanks for joining us.

I hope that your Paddle Board Tri goes well today! I looks like you’ll have some decent weather too.
Deborah Brooks says
It was lots of fun but a little warm out there!
Kimberly Hatting says
I’m excited to hear how the tri goes!! You had a great week…such a great variety in all your workouts. I need to try planking on the ball…I forget about that as an option LOL

The tri was lots of fun! I am currently shoving all the food into my mouth I’m starving

Deborah Brooks says
It was so much fun and I am quite exhausted at the moment!
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
Can’t wait to hear how it went! I just haven’t had much time to be on social media lately, someday I’ll get back to it . . . I’ll bet you had a blast.
90s, really? Wow!

Yes it’s been super hot here and it was warmer than I would have liked for the race today. We had such a fun time though! Trying to keep my eyes open I am wiped

The race was really fun! My Wednesday workout is usually my hardest day of the week
Darlene says
SUP Tri. Sounds so fun. Can’t wait to hear,
As usual you had a busy and active week.

It was a really fun change for a Tri we had a blast

Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
That sounds like such an interesting race! I hope it went well! Great job with your workouts this week.

We had tons of fun out there
Deborah Brooks says
I tried to comment but I am getting an error message not sure if you got it
Shathiso says
I think your trainer is very proud of that plank form! Beautiful execution Deborah even if it involved a few tries! Can’t wait to get more details on that tri! Well done for trying something new. I find doing new things always keeps you motivated that much more.
Deborah Brooks says
Ah thanks friend! We did have fun yesterday always good to tri new activities
Laura Norris says
I hope your paddleboard tri went well! That sounds like such a fun event!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks we had a great time!
Zenaida Arroyo says
Can’t wait to read about your paddle board triathlon!! Yesterday I did my first 45 minutes Peloton class. Slowly I am moving up to a longer class. This one had 4 or 5 minutes of arm workout (which I didn’t realize when I started) but I actually liked it.
Deborah Brooks says
The classes are tough but so many options and formats. That’s why I love it so much
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
I hope your tri went well! What a great idea for a tri, especially for non-swimmers like me. Can’t wait to read your recap.
Thanks for the linkup!
Deborah Brooks says
It was so much fun stay tuned for the recap soon
melissa says
A SUP triathlon sounds so cool! I can’t wait to hear all about it. And look at you doing those planks – your form looks great so your trainer must be proud.
Deborah Brooks says
The Tri was lots of fun! Yes my trainer does make me do them perfectly so they end up being even harder 🙂
Chaitali says
Sounds like a great week! I love the fun photo ops you all do on the runs 🙂 And I look forward to hearing more about the tri. I enjoyed the photos on instagram.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks we do love our running photo stops!
Laetitia says
Can’t wait to read the recap. I wonder what other variants of triathlons there are out there… does one component always have to be on the aquatic side though?
Deborah Brooks says
You know, I am not sure!
Montana @ Pretty Lil Mudder says
Can’t wait to hear how the tri went! I know how it is to get away from races and come back so I hope it went well for you. Keeping things light this week was probably a good idea going into race week. I kind of enjoy a good taper week, I’m just not great at tapering for multiple weeks!
Deborah Brooks says
The tri was lots of fun recap tomorrow.
