Weekly Run Down Running Out Of April

Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down today. And just like that, we are running out of April. It was a quiet but busy one. Here’s a peek into my week.

weekly run down

Running Out Of April

Monday- core, upper body and Peloton ride #600 + afternoon walk

Celebrated my 600th Peloton cycle ride! It is always motivating to hit the milestones and see my badge pop up.

Tuesday- 6 mile run and stretch

Nothing too exciting about this run but felt good to get it in!

Wednesday- 3 mile walk + upper body and core + hip mobility

It was really nice out so I decided on a walk rather than cycling today. Came home to do some upper body and core.

Thursday- 8 mile run and stretch

We did our longer run mid-week. Turned out it was great practice for summer with super high humidity and temps in the 80’s. Gave me a chance to test out my new larger size hydration pack. I loved it! Now to remember to drink more.

Friday- lower body strength, core and hip/glute mobility

New hair color and real clothes. It is time to start getting back to normal (some days anyway!)

Saturday- rest day

I seriously felt like I did nothing of consequence today but got a lot done at home. A productive rest day!

Sunday 6-8 miles on the plan

Since I ran longer on Thursday, I will see how I feel out there. We are hitting a different route into Georgetown from Virginia so thinking of trying out my trail shoes. Just thankful to be feeling good and running happy. Running out April!

May is National Runners Month and National Salad Month. A great combo don’t you think? Stop by tomorrow for my easy Cauliflower Rice Tabouleh Salad. See you Friday for the Ultimate Coffee Date link up.

    National Runners Month and National Salad Month – celebrating two of my favorite things! Congrats on your 600th Peloton ride and enjoy your run into Georgetown this week!

    Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      Yes lots to celebrate this month! Georgetown was fun

    Running out of April is kind of a fun phrase to think about. Ooops, no more April left, have to switch to May.
    Feeling good and running happy is the best combination! I love those runs where there isn’t anything special. Just so lucky to be able to do it.
    Love the hair color. Noticed the style on Insta but didn’t pick up on the color. Much easier on a computer screen. Hope your run today was great

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 11:56 am

      Yes, I do love the highlights thanks so much! Yes running happy and carefree is the best

    National Runners Month and Arthritis Awareness Month is the perfect combo for me. I’ll have a little salad on the side…lol. I hope your long run went well this morning. I’m so happy to see you hitting some higher miles this year!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 11:58 am

      well May is a really busy month it seems!

  4. Kimberly Hatting says

    05/02/2021 at 10:13 am

    Great week…lots of colorful pics (with all the flowers) and your new hair color looks fab! So great to #SeeYouOutThere 😉

    Your hair looks great! I got mine cut this week — it was so overdue.

    I haven’t broken out my hydration pack yet, but it sure is getting warm.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 12:02 pm

      I get so hot and sweaty I love the hydration pack. What do you drink? I am a big fan of SIS hydration tabs

  6. Marcia says

    05/02/2021 at 11:49 am

    Love the new do! So nice to see you in “civilian” clothes! Cheers to runners and nice big salads!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 12:07 pm

      Thanks I am slowly trying to adapt to real life again

    Great week! It was weird having a hot day mixed in there with some cooler weather. I am not yet ready to get back to real clothes!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 12:10 pm

      I am trying to adapt slowly!

    Congratulations on hitting 600 Peloton rides – that’s awesome! Love that you were able to be so productive at home on your rest day yesterday. To me, those are the best type of “rest” days!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 3:32 pm

      yes they sure are!

  9. Jenny says

    05/02/2021 at 12:17 pm

    How in the world do you match your running outfits to the flowers? Your house must be decorated really nicely.
    Love the hair! It’s fresh and summer-y!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 3:38 pm

      I was in a mood to do flower matching last week! They are not all at my house but it’s fun to go on a hunt for my colors

  10. Melissa says

    05/02/2021 at 12:17 pm

    Congrats on 600!! That’s amazing! And I love the hair- you look great. Happy May!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 3:40 pm

      Well thanks so much!

  11. Liz Dexter says

    05/02/2021 at 12:31 pm

    Love the hair and real clothes too, well done! Also a good week in general and congrats on the 600th Peleton ride. I am enjoying some of their stretch classes but need to get more engaged.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 3:43 pm

      thanks! The stretch classes are fun and great

  12. Michelle D. says

    05/02/2021 at 1:25 pm

    Congrats on your 600th ride – quite the milestone!

    I love all of the color you brought to your runs this week! And, speaking of color, your new highlights look great 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 3:46 pm

      Thanks so much! I was having fun with the colors this week

  13. Chocolaterunsjudy says

    05/02/2021 at 1:43 pm

    Love the new hair color! When I colored, it was reddish auburn. I did like that color (obviously not my real color).

    I can’t believe how many rides you get in on Peloton!

    It was still mostly cool up here. And I’m mostly ok with that. 🙂

    I did make a big salad for lunch though and it hit the spot!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 3:49 pm

      The big salads are always good! I will be sharing a few of my favorites this month. Thanks on the hair it is fun to update seasonally!

  14. Renée @runlaugheatpie says

    05/02/2021 at 2:17 pm

    Congrats again on your 600 rides Deborah! I loved seeing your photos this week with all your colorful outfits! I often try to get dressed in normal clothes and hair but I find it kind of difficult! So used to wearing sports clothes at this stage!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 3:52 pm

      I had fun with all the flowers this week for sure. Trying to wear normal clothes at least once a week!

  15. Jessie says

    05/02/2021 at 3:50 pm

    Love the hair! And all the colorful running pics. 600 rides- holy cow! You are amazing. That’s so many!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/02/2021 at 3:55 pm

      It does sound like a lot! Thanks I had fun with the flowers everywhere this week

  16. Zenaida Arroyo says

    05/03/2021 at 6:02 am

    Congrats on hitting 600 Peloton rides! That is awesome. You new hair color looks great and you look beautiful.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/03/2021 at 6:37 am

      Thanks so much for all of the above! Have a great week

  17. Jenn says

    05/03/2021 at 11:12 am

    National Salad Month? YES!

    I also treated myself to some new clothes and makeup, too! Time to start paying more attention to those things!

    Congratulations on 600!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/03/2021 at 1:09 pm

      Yes it is time!
