Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. Just finished up the Pelothon week 3 challenge and ended the month with some great stats. Here’s a peek into my week of workouts.
Pelothon Week 3 challenge
This week’s Pelothon challenge was to take any classes for 5 days out of 7. No problem! Got this one.
Monday-45 min Peloton cycle + 10 min arms + 10 min core + 800 meter swim
Cycling right into the Pelothon week 3 challenge. Repping my team “The Unstoppables”. I wonder if Old Navy was wondering why this t shirt sold out all of the sudden?! Loving my afternoon swim sessions and lately I feel like I could just “keep on swimming”.
Tuesday- 2 mile morning walk + 5 min hip stretch + 800 meter swim
Got in a quick 2 mile walk this morning before heading to see my new Ortho about the hip issues. Short version is my hips are again out of alignment which is causing an impingement when I run. Ugh! Literally only bothers me when I run. I will most likely be getting some Protherapy injections when I see him again in a few weeks. Basically, it kick starts your body’s natural healing process. Lots more detail to come.
Wednesday-10 min core + 10 min strength +40 min Peloton cycle
“Sweat is Sexy” I last wore this shirt when I took a live class at the Peloton studio in January. Wow that feels like a million years ago. “Mixed it up” by doing my strength training first then cardio.
Thursday-10 min glutes strength + 10 min core + 40 min elliptical + 3 mile walk + 800 meter swim
Road block! I was so proud of myself for changing out my bike shoe cleats on my own. Well, apparently they are not all interchangeable! Who knew? Anyway had to “pivot” back inside for my workout. Got the new cleats and I am ready to go for next time. Oh well! Another great afternoon walk and swim. I am liking this combo.
Friday- 2 mile morning walk + 20 core class + 10 min stretch
A much needed rainy day here had me doing my morning walk on the treadmill. Hip activation exercises and lots of stretching.
Saturday- travel to Chicago
After basically being hunkered down here since March, I am making a 48 hour trip to Chicago. My daughter is moving there and we are taking her up to get settled in. Moving during this time makes things a little more challenging but we will power through. A little nervous about the air line travel. Hope to at least get a walk in down by the water Sunday morning.
Tell me have you flown since this whole crazy covid thing? Cardio or strength training first? I usually do cardio first but mixed it up this week. Thanks for linking up!
I’m laughing because yes it was just back in January that it was perfectly normal to leave home at all hours of the day like it was no big deal or something. I’m so sorry that you can’t run right now, but I am taking notes that “hey there is a whole other world of fitness out there besides running” which is a message that I need to hear. Swimming sounds pretty amazing right now. Enjoy Chi!
Yes remember when we took everything for granted? I am upset about the not running but at the same time, I am enjoying biking and swimming so much. Ultimately, I think it helps my overall fitness a lot to switch things up
January does seem like forever ago! Interesting on your hip – will the ortho do adjustments like a chiro would? Can’t wait to hear about your trip!
Not sure but I am thinking maybe I should try that as well
I have not flown yet and don’t plan on doing it any time soon the if I don’t have to! I don’t do a lot of strength training but I typically do it after cardio. We finally invested in some kettlebells so I have used those a few times this week..
I was not planning on flying either but could not let my daughter move without my help. It’s been an interesting experience to say the least
All the best with the big move! I hope your daughter loves it here. My pelvis comes out of alignment fairly regularly and my sports chiro snaps it right back. Makes all the difference. Looks like the Pelothon action is going well! Thanks for the linkup!
I will check into some chiro stuff as well. At this point I will try anything
YOU, my dear, are quite the Peloton queen 😉 And, you deserve a crown for all those awesome tank tops! Hope you’re having fun in Chi-town 😉
Thanks friend! This trip is not so much fun but practical. Moving is a lot of work! I get to do it all again in 2 weeks 🙂
I hope that everything goes smoothly for you! I haven’t flown in 18 months, much less since everything started! But my niece has flown across the country twice. My sister went down to NYC a few months ago & they moved her out of her apartment (she was furloughed at the time, now working from home).
I love to swim. I swim slowly, of course, and typically do breastroke because I could literally do that forever!
So sorry about your hip. I hope that the shots give you some relief soon.
I have been swimming a lot slower and it’s so relaxing. Breast stroke hurts my knees oddly so regular front crawl it is. Traveling is not what it used to be!
I’m curious how the airline travel went. Which airline did you book? I’ve heard Delta is doing the best job at masks and spacing. Hopefully you felt good about it all!
Sorry to hear about your hip. I’ll be interested to hear about that therapy. So strange that it only bothers you when you run, but at least you can do all your other activities!
Traveling is not what it used to be! Our United flight was completely full. Ironically I felt ok on the plane. The hotel has made me much more nervous and I am not liking it at all.
Looking forward to hearing more about those protherapy injections! Sounds interesting. Hope you trip to Chicago went well and your daughter settles in well!
Thanks! Move is going well it’s a lot of work. Travel is not what it used to be that’s for sure
Awesome job on week 3 of Pelothon! I have take a few cycle classes from a few months ago and it’s so weird to see the studio full of people! I’m so used to them teaching in an empty room.
I hope that the weekend in Chicago goes well!
I know it is strange to see actual people in the older classes. I can’t believe I did that in January seems so long ago.
January and the peloton studio was another world ago!
So glad you have answers and hopefully they help.
I haven’t flown, but that’s mostly because everywhere was cancelled. I’m not sure whether I’m ready or not. I didn’t want to take public transit to mom’s, but that was more a fear of exposing them after.
I was not ready at all! But we do what we have to. I get to do it all again in 2 weeks with my son. Traveling is not the luxury it used to be at all
Prolotherapy was mentioned to me when I had that never ending plantar fasciitis. It kind of reminds me of what we do to treat warts-the medicine or freezing procedure stimulates and immune response in the body, which aids with the treatment. I’m anxious to hear more about it and hope you have good results! In the meantime, you’re just killing it with all your other workouts!
Thanks Wendy! I am very thankful that I can still cycle and lift and walk. I hope the prolotherapy works too and that I can get back to running by September
Sorry about the hips and hope the therapist helps. I’m sure I’m horribly out of alignment with so much running and no yoga – I’ve got to sort that out.
No update from me this week on my blog as I feel a bit twitchy about the issue with my running group – I did manage to join the long run this week in our little group as there were just three of us, and got back onto the canals too which was amazing (the warning signs have come down now so we feel it’s OK).
I know it’s hard to feel normal and going out with others for runs still does feel weird. I am trying to do normal things even though things are not normal. Hang in there and have a good week my friend
I haven’t flown yet. But from what they’ve said, as long as you wear your mask and wash your hands, you should be good, right? I hope everything goes well for you! Love the Old Navy tank. I have a couple of ON tank tops that I wear all the time! I got them a few years ago. I wish they would put them out again because at those prices, I could use a few more 🙂
Well I will let you know if it’s all good in a few weeks ha ha. It sure is not what it used to be and it’s kind of stressful but we have to do what we have to do.
As always, I am so impressed with the variety of your workouts! That is awesome. Hubby and I bought pool passes for our town’s outdoor pool this summer because I had visions of swimming laps. We have mostly just used it to play with our grandsons or hang out poolside, though. You have inspired me to give lap swimming outside another try.
It’s so relaxing to swim. I bet you will really like it if you give it a chance. Perfect after a hot run or walk
I hope the move goes smoothly! I haven’t been on a plane in almost two years and right now I would bee so nervous to travel with a baby. I think I’ve heard of people getting Protherapy injections that result significant improvements – I hope they work well for you!
I hope the prolotherapy goes well too thanks. I was also nervous about traveling-it’s not what it used to be!
As someone who’s been dealing with hip issues off and on, I’m curious to hear more about these injections. I hope they help!
I hope everything went smoothly with the move-in for you daughter. The thought of air travel makes me so nervous – I hope your trip was uneventful!
I know you have had similar hip issues. I will keep you posted! Travel is not what it used to be. I am nervous but excited for my daughter. Thanks!
I hope Chicago goes well. Honestly, an airplane is probably the last place I want to be. Correction: the airport is the last place. I am absolutely not a germophobe but airports ick me right out.
I also can’t believe that it was so long since you were in the Peloton studio! It’s like a lifetime!
I admit I was very nervous on the plane-which was full. I am more nervous in the hotel right now. I will be doing it all over again in 2 weeks w my son. Yes it does feel like forever ago that I was in NYC for that Peloton class.
I usually do my cardio first and then strength training, but there are usually a few clients thrown in between the two. In the summer, I especially like doing it in that order to beat the heat.
We have not flown since the pandemic. I hope all goes well for your trip and that your daughter loves living in Chicago!
thanks so far so good although flying is not what it used to be!
I am glad that you have an answer to your hip pain. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
I hope you had a great weekend in Chicago. I also hope she likes it here.
The last time I was in an airplane was in March. I had plans to travel to Mexico for Spring Break but had to cancel that trip. Who knows when I will travel again.
Thanks I hope so too!
I haven’t flown but my parents have and they said the flights are pretty empty. It sounds like the hardest part is getting through the airport without touching things, getting to close to anyone, etc. Hope it goes well!
Thanks! Our flight was full I was really surprised. I was actually more nervous in the hotel
Fingers crossed the injections help! I generally do cardio before strength training too if I combine them.
Thanks! I do too but may try to mix it up this week
I think it will be a long time before I fly anywhere. And if I do I want to fly on one of those airlines that are not stuffing the passengers in!
I’m sorry your hip is bugging you again, but it looks like you’ve had a great fitness week in spite of that.
Thanks trying to be active despite the lack of running 🙂 Plane was pretty crowded outbound
You’re making me wish I still had my peloton subscription! I got rid of it when OTF reopened in my area because I didn’t see a need for at home workouts when I could go back to the gym. But if we ever got back into a quarantine and gyms shut down I’d absolutely sign up again, I loved it!
I haven’t flown since the shut downs, and i think I’d be a little nervous too. That’s why for our getaway we preferred somewhere we could drive to. Good luck with moving your daughter! Hope it all goes smoothly!
The move went well thanks. The flying and hotels were stressful for sure.
