Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. This week, I took advantage of the fabulous fall weather and got my Virtual Wine Glass Half done my way. My return to running is going well but I know I am not in half marathon shape. I opted to take advantage of getting my half done in segments. Here’s a peek into my week.
Virtual Wine Glass Half Done My Way
Monday- 30 min strength + 30 min cycle + yoga for hips
New week new goals. Feeling motivated to get my virtual half done this week.
Tuesday- 4.75 mile run + 1 mile afternoon walk + yoga for hips
Run 1 of 3 of Virtual Wine Glass half done my way. Beautiful weather helped to push me to run a little farther today. The 4:1 intervals are going well and I was feeling good.
Wednesday-45 min full body bike boot camp + 2 mile walk + yoga for hips
Finished my current 2 week yoga challenge. I have noticed what a huge difference just 15 min a day can make for me.

Thursday- 4.75 mile run + stretch
Run 2 of 3 Virtual Wine Glass Half done my way. Another fall gift of a day was the perfect backdrop for a productive run. Feeling good and pain free.
Friday-20 min core + 10 hip strength + 40 min cycle
A hard core day and mellow cycle class. Rainy day so no outdoor walk.
Saturday- 2.75 mile power walk + stretch
Kind of a low key rest day here.
Sunday- 4.75 run + core
Sunday runday! Run 3 of 3 to complete my virtual wine glass half done my way.
I am so glad that I had the option to do my half in parts. The perfect fall weather and great company of a running friend helped to get me through. Pain free runs helped me log more weekly miles than I have in a long time. I sure hope I am able to have that girls’ weekend next year in Corning and crush this half in person. And, yes I will now sport my run swag proudly when it arrives!
I also feel like I have my nutrition better under control after a month of making some changes. Eating more protein and tracking my macros has been a game changer for me. In case you missed it, I wrote about my experience using my fitness pal the last month.
Thanks for linking up!
I am so happy to see you running pain free, It makes all the difference. We both missed spring running (or were you between in juries then?) and am glad we have the chance to enjoy fall.
I love MyFitnessPal and agree, it really helps to see what you’re eating in the macro sense. I’m a slightly obsessive food tracker, which isn’t great for other reasons, but love MFP’s simplicity.
Yes it’s so great to be back running pain free! I feel like I am always in between injuries the past few years. MFP has helped me a lot to change some of my macros. I am trying to just focus on protein right now and not get caught up
Congrats on finishing your virtual half! I love that you split it up. Right now it’s all about moving forward, right?
I was so happy that I had the option of splitting it up. I really felt a sense of accomplishment completing it after being injured for so long
Nice job on completing the Wine Glass Half “your way.” In 2020 anything goes and as runners coming back from injuries we have to do whatever works!
Thanks for the linkup and I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful day!
I was happy that I had the option to finish it my way and I am really happy to be rallying back
Congrats on your half! And for being smart enough to do it in a way that keeps you on the path to healing from your injury. My favorite medal of all time is from a wine run and it has a built in wine stopper. My running goal is to someday earn a medal with a bottle opener, so that my running medals will support all of my beverage needs.
ha ha love it and great goal! Yes I was glad that there was an option to split it up. I felt successful and not pressured to push myself when I was not ready
Congrats on your race – so smart to split up your half marathon into segments, and we had such beautiful weather this weekend too!
I was so happy that there was an option to do this. I felt really accomplished after having been out for so long. This weather sure did help too
Great job on the virtual Wine Glass! It’s a buzzkill all of our races are going virtual (when they haven’t actually been cancelled, that it), but at least that gives us free license to do them our way. No regrets and lots of great accomplishments as a result!
That is true! Trying to look on the bright side. I would have had a pretty tough time doing the half untrained so I am glad that I had the option to split it up
I love how you tailored that half to suit! It’s all about having fun, right? Glad to hear things are falling into place nutrition-wise for you! Thanks for the linkup!
Thanks yes I am feeling better all around and this fab weather sure helps
Good plan with the half- I was NOT half-ready when I did mine the other week and had to have a two-hour sleep afterwards!
I did a tiny running update on my blog today but the rest of it was about books so I don’t think I should link. Still loving everyone else’s posts, however.
I am glad to hear it! Will go check it out now. Be well friend 🙂
We did have some amazing weather this week! Hopefully the trend will continue a bit longer. Congrats on completing the half — so glad your return to running continues to progress!
Thanks me too! I felt really good this week
Congrats on completing the half marathon! It must be great to be running pain free again. And congrats on getting your eating under control. I need to work on that … I may have to try My fitness pal.
Thanks I am feeling good with the running the past 2 weeks. MFP has been a big help with tracking macros for me
Glad you could split up the half and had some company! I like your tights from your Friday’s workout with the stripes. Cute!
Yes I was so glad to have had that option. Took a bunch of stress off
You should wear your swag proudly! I think you were really wise to do it your way. I always say, live to run another day! Glad you got some nice Fall weather –nothing like Fall to put pep in our step, eh?
Nice job, Deborah! Have a great week.
Live to run another day! I like that
great job on the half…so smart to do it your way.
Hope it happens in 2021. What a year this has been.
Thanks I feel accomplished! I sure hope it happens next year as well
Congrats on completing your half! Its nice that you could do it in segments. It was a great week for running!
Yes I was very happy to be able to do it in segments. Great week for it too!
A great collection of printed capris/tights this week! Love all of your outfits. Isn’t camo print awesome? I wore a pair of my camo tights to the gym and 2 other people had camo pattern on too!
Thanks and yes I do love my patterned tights 🙂
Great job getting your virtual half done! And, yay for pain-free running!
I am very thankful 🙂
That is a great idea of breaking up the half marathon! I mean, why not, as long as the mileage gets done. Great job! I’ve heard great things about that race.
Thanks and really hope I get to run it in person next October
Congratulations on Wine Glass! I have a virtual half in a few weeks, and I WISH I could run it in parts. I am up to 7 miles, and I know I can walk what I don’t run, but the pressure is heavy!
Loved your pictures this week. I could really feel the cool fall days coming through!
WEll you can run it however you think is best for you at this time 🙂
