Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. These weeks just keep flying by! Now I do sound like my mom again. This week concludes the Pelothon 2020 week 4 challenge. While I am always motivated to use my Peloton, I really did enjoy the challenge aspect the last 4 weeks. I also enjoyed participating and connecting with my team mates on Instagram and facebook. Here’s a peek into my week.
Weekly Run Down Pelothon 2020 week 4 challenge
Monday- travel back from Chicago
Finished moving in our daughter to her new apartment and headed back home. Traveling is not what it used to be! I will get to do it again next weekend when we take our son to back to Indiana University. In case you missed my Meatless Monday, these Squash, spinach and feta fritters were delish and easy.
Tuesday- 60 min Peloton cycle + 20 min arms/shoulders +10 min core
After not working out for 3 days, (unless you count moving boxes and braving Bed bath and beyond and Target) I was so ready to get home and tackle the Pelothon 2020 week 4 challenge. Happy to say I completed it!
Wednesday-10 min core + 20 min glutes/legs strength + 3 mile walk
I have kept up with my hip and glute activation exercises everyday this week. I am feeling a lot better! In case you missed my “Magic 100″s routine” for runners check it out here.
Thursday-50 minute Peloton cycle + 20 min arms/shoulders
Tough cycle class today!
Friday- 21 mile bike ride outside
Play date with Coco again! She was so speedy I had to really work to keep up with her. Can’t say enough about how much I love my new Coeur bike kit. If you are looking for new gear, check them out and use “DeborahLovesCoeur15” for 15% off. So comfortable and light.
Saturday- 45 minute elliptical + 10 min core + 4 mile walk
An easier workout day today. Legs were a little tired after 2 hard cycle days in a row. Last minute afternoon walk with a friend was a nice treat.Oops no photo!
Sunday- Peloton cycle and swim?
Not sure what today will bring yet. I did not get any of my swims in this week. We had so much rain and unsettled weather that it just did not happen.
Pelothon 2020 challenge week 4 is complete! I enjoyed the last 4 weeks and will certainly miss it. I am hoping to set some higher mileage bike goals this month. I am also going to give running a try this week and see how my hip feels. Any challenges this month for you? Thanks for linking up!
Congrats on completing another challenge. You sure are disciplined.
Good luck this week. Hope the hip cooperates.
Thanks it’s feeling better so fingers crossed I can do a short run
We seriously are turning into our parents with the phrasing. It’s almost comical. “Mirror, mirror on the wall – I am my mother after all”
Glad to hear you’re finding improvemement, even after boxes and the confines of flying. Hope it continues.
Bed & Bath. I might be buying a convertible chair and doing all I can not to buy it there because our local is so confusingly laid out
Enjoy your swim if the weather holds
I know ha ha! It happens despite our best efforts. I am feeling better thanks going to try a short run this week
Well done on completing the challenge! Your new kit is super cute! I am getting my head around college move in as well. That should be enough of a workout for this coming weekend. Thanks for the linkup!
The move in days are always stressful but this one is more so. Good luck to both of us!
I can’t think of anything more physically taxing than moving. So congrats on surviving that PLUS getting your workouts in.
Thanks doing it all over again this weekend!
I am so glad for our bike rides — so much fun to catch up IRL. And I had the advantage of fresh legs! I’m glad your Chicago trip is done. Moving definitely counts as a workout — rest up for the next one. 😉
Yes I am loving our biking dates as well. See you soon
I am so glad to hear the hip is feeling better! I need to remember to do those clam shells nightly…I did them a couple days, and then forgot (oops). Good luck with the running 😉
Keeping up w the exercises really does help me I just need to do them. I have no excuses
Great week of workouts! I would definitely count braving the crowds at Bed Bath and Beyond and Target as workouts – that takes skills these days!
I’m so sad that Pelothon 2020 is over 🙁 It was a really fun way to connect with others in the Peloton community.
OH it sure does take lots of skill! 🙂 I am sad that it is over too. Hope they do another one soon
I hope to see you the next time you’re here visiting your daughter. Altho I understand how you might want to spend all your time with her!
I love that red cycling kit! It’s definitely your color.
I really hope I do get to see all of you next time I am in Chicago! It’s been too long
First off, moving is most definitely a work out! And you got plenty busy once you got home. I ended up with a walk with a friend I haven’t seen since last year (literally) today, maybe I’ll squeeze in a little bit of ST before I feed the dogs.
The pool will feel really good today. Hope you enjoy it! Good luck moving your son in next week. Have a great week, Deborah!
Thanks! Moving the kids is quite the workout. I will also be doing an 11 hour drive with him to Indiana 🙂
That’s great your hip feels better! I hope that you can start running again soon! Congrats on the Pelothon also!
Thanks me too fingers crossed!
I am definitely gonna try those squash, spinach and feta fritters. They look YUMMY!!!
Glad to read that your hip is feeling better. Hope you can run pain-free soon!
Thanks let me know what you think of them. I am crossing my fingers I can get back to running soon too
Congrats on the Peloton challenge! Glad you enjoyed it. I’m sure moving and traveling are not what they used to be. Great work!
That meatless monday recipe looks so good!
Thanks so much hope you give it a try sometime
We took my daughter for an informal tour of our local university. My husband and I are both alumni, so it was fun to see the place again. We were shocked at some of the changes (in a good way). You and Coco both look really great in your cycling outfits. Now that I’ve been riding so much, I feel like I need all the clothes 🙂
Oh yes having fun cycling clothes just makes you feel more like a cyclist and a lot more comfy
Yes, the weather was so crazy this past week! Western Loudoun got pummeled with rain on Thursday night (over 5 inches in less than 3 hours), but fortunately we didn’t get that much.
It sounds like you had so much fun with your Peloton Challenge. I haven’t done any challenges in ages.
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
I did love the Peloton challenge. I am really enjoying biking right now. I know you are too!
Hey Deborah! I’m starting to really want a peloton with all the posts I’m seeing from you and other friends! Maybe one day! So much fun and what cool workouts. Way to go on the challenge!
Happy to chat about it with you anytime! Best investment ever 🙂
Great job with the Peloton challenge! Glad the move went well and the hip is feeling better. I hope you can get in a few pain-free miles this week!
Thanks I am going to try!
Let me know next time you come to Chicago. I would love to meet up with you!!
I also liked the Pelothon Challenge. I will admit that some weeks it wasn’t very clear what was expected and I had to ask Kim to explain it to me. I felt like a little kid not understanding it. But I hope there is another one to keep us motivated.
Yes this was a very short 48 hour trip to move my daughter in. I will definitely be back! I also hope there is another challenge soon I love the motivation
I’m so glad your trip was uneventful. I hope your daughter is doing well and that your son’s return to school goes smoothly.
I am working on an August Wellness Challenge, which is really quite insane for me. It’s a lot more self-care than I usually manage. Not a bad thing. Just different.
I may have to pull out my resistance bands.
Different is sometimes good 🙂 The resistance bands really help me a lot
Love this great article and great reading. Thank you for sharing your experience.
