Thanks for joining Kim and Me for the weekly run down today. It’s getting busy around here with my birthday and my husband’s birthday in the same week followed by Thanksgiving. Let the hectic holiday season begin. November seems like a whirlwind of a month and oh, did I mention that Hanukkah starts Thanksgiving weekend this year?! And if that was not enough, we had another unexpected event pop up. Here is a peek into my hectic week!
Let the Hectic Holiday Season Begin
Monday- core + upper body + Peloton cycle
Starting my Monday strong just the way I like it. I did a short but intense HIIT Cycle class with Denis. Then, met my parents for lunch at a new taco place.
Tuesday- 6 mile run through DC
It was such a gorgeous fall day and we decided to take a field trip run around the Washington DC monuments. Picture perfect day! We had the best morning running through all of the monuments. I take these for granted and don’t run down here enough.
Today was my husband’s birthday so another night out! We actually went to a book signing party in DC that was kind of fun. Dr. Fauci himself was there and we chatted for a few minutes. Another hectic day!
Wednesday- core + lower body + arms + Peloton Cycle
I do love a good lower body strength session that leaves me feeling it. Another hectic day over here trying to get a bunch of stuff done. I said yes to a few too many projects that all seem to be coming due at the same time!
Thursday- 6 mile run + stretch
Another beautiful fall day! We took advantage of this unusually warm day before the cold front comes barreling in.
My son flew home today (a few days earlier than planned) to get his wisdom teeth pulled out tomorrow. It was hectic to get this scheduled right before Thanksgiving but I did it! Lots of mothering and prepping today.
Friday- 3 mile walk + core class
We woke up to a really chilly morning. My son wanted to go for a walk before his surgery so we bundled up and headed out. He had 3 wisdom teeth pulled and is recovering nicely. I hovered over him all afternoon trying to anticipate his every need. Another hectic day over here!
Saturday- planned rest day
My usual rest day and packet pick up for Sunday’s Turkey Trot 10K.
Sunday- 10K Turkey Trot
So happy to have the local turkey trot race back this year. There are so many reasons to love them. A perfect end to a hectic week. My daughter is flying in later today. I will be one happy momma to have both of my kids home all week.
Thanks for linking up! Hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving and a great week ahead.
This is the busy time of year for sure! I’ve had that perpetual ‘overwhelmed’ feeling all year and even more so now. My youngest doesn’t get home until Weds–he has classes up until then. I’m looking forward to seeing both of my boys as always! Enjoy your family and Happy Hannukah!
thanks! There sure is a lot going on this week!
That was a busy week for you!The wisdom teeth ordeal is quite familiar to me, having had mine removed (I only three, also), and all three kids as well. Good luck trotting today, and enjoy your full house!!!
Yes it’s a busy one over here! The trot was fun and hilly
Oh I can relate to the dental surgery. I’ll bet you’re both glad to have that over. Gorgeous fall pics! Maddie won’t be home until Tuesday afternoon and I can’t wait!
Yes, it went better than expected and he is doing fine now. Enjoy have your daughter home this week too
It’s a great morning for a turkey trot! I love the “feast mode” shirt!
I hope your son is doing well. I had a horrible time when I made mine out, but my son barely needed a rest.
Sorry I missed your DC run by about 3 hours. 😉
it was a great morning for the turkey trot-forgot how hilly it was over there. My son is doing so much better than expected!thanks
Happy birthday to your husband! At some point you two need a reason to be in the city in November so we can toast each other. 😀 Glad you had a good week. How awesome to meet Dr. Fauci.
Glad your son is recovering well. Hope the race was fun.
Yes we will find another reason to be in NYC soon! My son is doing better than expected and anxiously awaiting my daughter’s arrival in a few hours
I hope your son feels good.
Washington DC is a beautiful place for a run. I was there more than 20 years ago but I didn’t have the time for a workout.
Good luck on the race!
sounds like you need to come back for a visit soon!
Oh, your poor son! But good he’s getting that over with while he’s young.
I love your Turkey Trot outfit! I hope the race was fun.
And yay for having both your kids home- it’s the best.
My son is doing so much better than I expected thanks. The race was low key and fun a perfect start to a hectic week!
Yay happy birthday to your husband! I love all your photos as always. That blue sky makes those runs look even beter. And I love the festive getup – every year I say I need some festive running clothes but never end up getting any!
I don’t mind the cold when the sun is shining and the skies are blue. I do love my holiday activewear
Despite being hectic, sounds like a fun week (sort of) for you, Deborah. I hope your son continues to heal up well. Lucky him to have mom taking care of him!
The monuments are amazing and looks like such a good day for it. Nice!

Yes, I do not take advantage often enough of the scenery we have here.
Congrats on your turkey trot and I hope your son is feeling well! I hated having my wisdom teeth out. Looks like you had some gorgeous runs and productive workouts!
