Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down. We love having this space each week to share our accomplishments, our struggles and our friendships. Thanks for joining in to share you week in workouts. In case you missed all of my social posts this week, I spent a few days away with the hubs on a mini vacation. This Weekly Run Down is NYC Style.
Weekly Run Down NYC Style
Monday- 4 mile run and 60 min strength training
I am pretty set in my schedule but I knew that I would be traveling Tuesday and did not want to miss my run. Got out there early and got my run in and then did my usual strength training.
Tuesday- Peloton Yoga class live 30 m Vinyasa + 10 min yoga for quads
In case you missed my super fan experience with Denis at Peloton, I had the fantastic opportunity to take a live yoga class in the studio. My daughter said, I was like a giddy preteen at a Justin Beiber concert back in the day. It was worth it though and a super fun experience. We did some pistol squats at the end that almost did me in!
Wednesday- 45 min Peloton bike class
My hotel also had Peloton bikes in the gym as many NYC hotels now do. I did a quick workout and Workout Wednesday became pizza Wednesday. I had to thank my hubs for indulging me with the Denis obsession, so off to pizza it was. So good! Nothing like NYC pizza. Don’t worry I ate the plain side 🙂
We attended our first opera ever at Lincoln Center. A friend took us to see La Traviata with Placido Domingo. Go big or go home right?! It really was spectacular and way better than I had imagined.
Thursday- 3 mile run in Central Park
No trip to NYC would be complete without a run in Central Park. It was perfect weather for a quick run and I happy to run by this Alice in Wonderland statue that I had not seen before. Did a little shopping and then we jumped on the train to head back to DC.
Friday- 30 minute Peloton class
Back in my own home gym but inspired with my newly signed cycle shoes.
Saturday- 5 mile run
We lost power Friday night in some huge storms. It was so hot and humid in the house that I did not sleep much. Getting up to run was the last thing I wanted to do that morning. I sucked it up and got my butt out there to meet my squad. So glad that I did because I ended up having a pretty great run. You just never know what to expect on a run do you?
Happy Passover and Happy Easter to everyone! Thanks for joining us today.
Yes. I always have pizza in NYC. Yes the best.
Placido Dimingo just wow.
I love that statue. Central Park is my favorite place to run.
Sounds like a great week.
I felt like you did yesterday. I had a great run too.
Happy Holidays
I wish I knew my way around CP better so I will definitely let you know next time I am there. The pizza is so good!
That pizza looks amazing! But why would you eat the plain side? I guess I am confused.
I’ve been to NYC a few times but have never run in Central Park. I keep hearing about how cool it is and know that I am missing out. Or am I?
I am a vegetarian so no pepperoni for me! Running in Central Park is fabulous but I always feel like I get lost and run in circles
Well that makes sense now. 🙂
Looks like a super fun week in NYC! How cool most hotels there have Peloton bikes. Glad you enjoyed your opera experience. Verdi is one of my favorite composers and you can’t go wrong with Placido Domingo.
It was a great first opera experience for sure! Enjoyed it way more than I expected to
“Run all the miles, eat all the carbs” – I need to get myself that top, LOL! That sums me up in one phrase 🙂 Awesome week Deb and those autographed shoes look fantastic!
I really think carbs are my soul mate 🙂
Your trip to NYC looked like so much fun! I haven’t been there in years. But I have to disagree with Darlene, Chicago has the best pizza! ;p
ha ha sadly I did not have any pizza in Chicago so I am going to have to come back for that!
Some great running and I have that fan post saved so will comment on that properly. Love your crew and hope the power came back on quickly!
The power finally came back on after about 18 annoying answers!
that was hours 🙂
wow, what a week Deborah!! so much fun in NYC! I totally imagined you giddy teenager style meeting Denis haha! very cool about the opera too – I’ve never been but definitely on my bucket list! hope you had a nice Easter, or do you celebrate Passover (or both?)?
I was giddy meeting Denis but it was worth it! We celebrate Passover and had our seder on Friday night. Thanks!
Your NYC trip sounds amazing! Wow on the opera. I’m not a huge fan, but I think I would enjoy and appreciate Placido Domingo. I love that you got your shoes signed. I know you will ride extra hard in them now. 😉
Happy Passover to you and your family.
You bet I will be pedaling extra hard now!
You really never know what a run will hand you — that’s true!
Sounds like a great trip to NYC. It’s so close to us, and yet so far. And expensive! NYC pizza — yum!
You really do never know how a run will go maybe that’s what makes it so exciting! NYC pizza is the best 🙂 I would have a serious problem if I had it more often
What a fun getaway to NYC! The pizza looks delicious 🙂
Glad you could squeeze in a Central Park run too.
I have never been to an opera but I bet it was a fun experience! You guys look so nice!
Thanks for hosting the link-up!
It was my first opera and we enjoyed it so much more than we expected. Yes running in Central Park is always an adventure.
Your NYC trip looked so fun!! You guys look great all glammed up for the opera 😉 I don’t know, I’d be afraid to wear those shoes for fear of smudging the signature 😉
ha thankfully I found a great permanent marker! I think I am safe 🙂
This looks like an exceptionally good week you had with some great highlights! Hope you had the best Easter Deborah!
We did have a fun week thanks!
I love that you were able to take a live class with Denis in person – so cool!
Great job getting out for your run on Saturday despite not having the best night on Friday. I hope that your power wasn’t out for too long.
Ugh the power finally came back after about 18 hours! Things we take for granted 🙂
OMG I would be fangirling too! Lol! Sounds like a good week of fun.
total fan girl! It was really fun too
I love NY! Looks like a fun time. And i love your dress!! That pizza looks amazinggggg.
thanks we did have a really fun few days there. Nothing like NYC pizza
It sounds like you had a fabulous trip to NYC. Running through Central Park is on my bucket list on one of our visits to our see our son and dil. I’m so happy you got to meet Denis and got your shoes signed! Happy Passover!
Thanks for the linkup!
Thanks! It is fun to run and eat in NYC but always nice to come home right? I will treasure my shoes for sure 🙂
How cool that you got to meet Denis! I love NYC style pizza – more so than deep dish although that is very anti-Chicagoan of me to say.
No worries I won’t tell anyone!!
Happy Easter and Passover. 🙂
I love the opera, but it’s a little harder to come by down here. I would be thrilled to see a show at the Met – it must have been incredible.
Great job with your workouts this week. I love how well rounded you are in all your training!
We did really enjoy the opera much more so than we expected. And thanks I do like to mix up my workouts
Sounds like a great trip to NYC! You can’t beat a run in Central Park. I bet seeing Placido Domingo was amazing!
It was amazing to see and hear him perform and we enjoyed more than we thought we would
Glad you had such fun in my town. I only went to my first opera last year – and never Placido. Love your dress!
Thanks we did have a fun few days! The opera was more fun that we thought it would be as well
I have never been to NYC, but when I do make it there, I will definitely run in Central Park! The whole time I will be thinking about Gossip Girl, because I’ve seen the park so often in that show!
ha ha I don’t watch Gossip Girl but yes running in the park is a must for sure-and the pizza 🙂
What a week! I have no clue who that guy is but I know Peloton is huge right now so I can only imagine your excitement 🙂 And I LOVE that there are so many bikes in NYC hotels – a good friend stays at one in particular in NYC and Philly and looks forward to her rides!
And the opera? OMG you have to tell us more! Someday I would love to go to an Italian opera!!
It was a really fun few days up there. We enjoying the opera so much more than we expected to.
That statue is awesome! I haven’t been in Central Park in years.
It has not changed! Hope you have a chance to run there again sometime it’s special
Sounds like a great NYC trip! I’ve never seen that Alice in Wonderland statue before, I’ll have to look for that next time I’m up there.
I did not remember seeing it before either but it’s pretty neat to see!
Wow a real NYC opera! I’d love to go see one! Also think its cool they have an Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park. I’ve been to Central Park several times but before I was a runner. I’d like to go back and run the park sometime.
The opera was a super fun experience for sure
I love that you got to do a peloton class with your favorite instructor! So cool! I need to hop on the peloton train!
I do think you would love it especially in the winter time
