Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. We are currently jet setting in The Maldives to celebrate my daughter’s graduation. I believe I am about 12 hours ahead of you all right now so it’s probably in the middle of the night for me right now. Let me give you a quick recap of my week. I am the sure there will be longer posts and many photos to come soon.
Jet Setting in the Maldives
Monday- strength training and Peloton
Trying to squeeze in all I can this week before we leave Tuesday. I do love my Monday morning spin and strength training. Just sets the tone for my week on a regular day.
Tuesday- Run 5 miles
I was able to get a nice run in with the crew before heading to the airport. We have some long flights ahead of us. I know I will miss a few days of workouts. This is one of our favorite spring venues to run to. Stopping to smell the roses.
Wednesday- plane travel
Left JFK late Tuesday night. Flying to Singapore and then catching a connection to Male, Maldives. We then hop on a small sea plane to the hotel we are staying at in the Maldives. It will be almost a full 26 hours of travel by the time we get there! I say it’s worth it though.
Thursday- travel day and arrival in Maldives
Friday- sunrise yoga
Regular yoga class is going to have a hard s time competing with this view. Since we had major jet lag we were up pretty early.
Saturday-
A busy day in paradise! Started off with some gym time, an aerial yoga class and then snorkeling with my son. Probably the most beautiful water color that I have ever seen.
Sunday-
This should really be a run day for me. With the temps in the 90’s not sure that will be happening. I may just get back in the water for some more snorkeling instead! Update got a short run in!
Looking forward to sharing more about our trip jet setting in The Maldives when I return. Thanks for linking up with us and I will get to your posts as soon as I can. Have a fantastic week ahead!

The water is like nothing I have ever seen
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
You have to enjoy where you are! The runs will be waiting for you when you get back, and a missed run here & there is not the end of the world. You’re obviously staying plenty active!

It’s been absolutely amazing spending so much time together too
Coco says
Wow that looks amazing! I could get through the 26 hour trip but a sea plane??? I would think twice about that — or maybe have to not think about. Sounds like an unforgettable family vacay!
Deborah Brooks says
The sea plane was not my favorite 45 min! I get a little motion sick
Zenaida Arroyo says

Sooo jealous of your trip to the Maldives! It’s definitely on my list. I wish I would have gone when I was working in Singapore, would have been a much shorter trip! Oh well..
Good for you for getting in a run while there AND multiple types of yoga. So fun!
Deborah Brooks says
Oh yes it would have! Long journey indeed. We head to Singapore on Tuesday

Deep relaxation mode indeed!

Deborah Brooks says
It does almost look like a movie scene it’s gorgeous

Love your dress!
Have you ever snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef? I’m not a big open water person but I got past that for Port Douglas and it was amazing
Maldives on my bucket list for sure
Deborah Brooks says
No I have not been to the Great Barrier Reef yet on the list!
Cari says
So magical. I preferred Port Douglas to Cairns. Quieter.
Deborah Brooks says
Have not been there either!
