Thanks for joining Kim and me for The Weekly Run Down today. Settling into a January routine around here at the start of the week. The last few days had me joining my hubs for a New York Minute.
In a New York minute
Monday- 30 minutes Peloton + Strength Training
Pedaling towards my 200th class and my normal never miss a Monday workout. Had some challenges today due to a small basement leak. Spent most of the dealing with that but looks like it wasn’t too bad. In case you missed my Spicy Chick Pea and Lentil Veggie Soup for Meatless Monday, you can find it here. It’s my new favorite soup!
Tuesday 3.5 mile run
Woke up to a chilly rainy morning but that won’t stop our crew from getting out there. The running part was not bad, it’s the post run when I started to freeze.
Wednesday- Peloton + ST and kickboxing 90 m
Pedaled on to class 199 today. Followed up by some strength training and balance work.
Thursday- 3.75 mile Run and travel day
Got in a quick run with the crew before after I did my warm up exercises. Sticking to these is really helping me comeback from my injury. Afternoon train travel to NYC.
Friday- Live Peloton Class
Celebrated my 200th class live in the New York studio. It was such a cool experience and a fun way to celebrate this milestone. More to come later this week about my Peloton experiences.
Afternoon visit to the Vessel at Hudson Yards. A super cold day but the hubs and I took a quick jaunt up to the top to check it out.
Saturday- NYC Brooklyn Run 5 miles
It’s been on my bucket list to run over the Brooklyn Bridge. I did a city running tour and made it happen. More on this later this week. Epic!
Run blogger meet up with Darlene and Cari. How fun to meet them in person for a quick glass of wine.
Sunday- Peloton Yoga and travel home
On the plan- Peloton yoga with my pretend boyfriend and fave instructor, Denis. Check out my IG for the photos. I hope I don’t go all fan girl flabbergasted this time! Thanks to my hubs for indulging my Peloton shenanigans. Travel back home in the afternoon.
Happy to have had a fun few days away with my hubs. That’s my weekly run down in a New York Minute!
Catrina says
That is so nice that you could do your 200th Peloton class live in New York AND run the Brooklyn Bridge AND meet up with blogging friends! That’s what I call good planning. Looks like you had a great time!
Deborah Brooks says
It was a fun filled weekend all around
Marcia says
What an exciting week! The Brooklyn Bridge run is a fun bucket list item to check off and I love that you met up with Darlene and Cari. I hope to see them both in Bermuda. Congrats on 200 Peloton classes!
Deborah Brooks says
It was an exciting week all around. The bridge run was fantastic. Yes, they are excited to meet up with you as well in Bermuda
Katie says
I remember when you were like 25 classes away from 200 and thinking, “well how the hell is she going to get to 200 that fast??” Lo and behold, you did it. Badass!! Have fun doing yoga with your boyfriend. 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Determination and sweat!
Melissa says

Deborah Brooks says

Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
What a fun week! I have never been to NYC, but when I go, my bucket list item is to run in Central Park. I’ll be imagining all the scenes from Gossip Girl while running 🙂 I can put the Brooklyn Bridge on that list now too! Congrats on the Peloton rides! Denis 😉 love it.
Deborah Brooks says
I have run in Central park a few times It’s very hilly and I seem to get all turned around in there. Hope you make it to NYC sometime soon

You definitely made the most of your NYC trip. Glad you checked things off your bucket list. Next is a NYC race.

Deborah Brooks says
Yes I do need to do a NYC race at some point. So fun to meet you and glad you had better weather today
Cari says
Are those cherry blossoms on your Thursday tights? And in your Tuesday one I love your friend’s on the second to the left. Bright, fun colors are the best. This is why I’ll never be brand dependent.
I agree with you re: the exercises helping the recovery. I’ll cut the runs short to be sure I get them in and I’m determined to stick with it.
So glad to meet you yesterday. So glad too the staff had us “kick”. Such a fun pose
Deborah Brooks says
Yes those are ink burn tights and I love them. Great to meet you as well. Keep up with that PT

Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
You squeezed a lot into a short amount of time in NYC — lucky you. I’ve always wanted to run across the Brooklyn bridge. Haven’t made it happen yet. Looks like you enjoyed it!
