Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. Who would have thought completing all these virtual races would be so motivating? Yet, here I am virtually running into May. Here’s how my week went down.
Running Into May
Monday- HIIT cycle class + Strength training + 1.5 m afternoon walk
HIITing it hard this Monday. Checking out some new cycle classes and workouts. Getting in an afternoon walk after the stress of visiting the grocery store was just what I needed.
Tuesday-3.5 mile run + 1.5 mile walk + yoga/stretch class
Uncanceled 5K run check √ A slightly drizzly run felt good on this warmish day. Ran by the elementary school and noticed this mural for the first time.
Wednesday- Peloton cycle + arms/shoulder + core + 2 mile afternoon walk
I am enjoying the cycle classes followed by the strength training. The rain cleared and I had a nice 2 mile afternoon walk.
Thursday-Boot Camp + low impact cycle class
Torrential rain and flooding kept me in. Can’t believe I waited so long to try a bootcamp class. As someone who dreads the treadmill, it was a great way to break up the miles. I loved it and hated it at the same time. Of course, I cannot wait to do it again!
Friday-HIIt cycle + core + chest/back ST + 2.5 mile walk
My legs were a little sore from the bootcamp class but I did not want to miss a new live cycle class. Another afternoon walk.
Saturday- 5 mile run + yoga/stretch
My legs were so heavy today after so much strength this week. Took a few walk breaks and then “ran” into my friend. Literally the highlight of my week. Completed the uncanceled project 8K.
Looks like I will be continuing virtually running into May! I feel like I alternate between exercising and eating all day long. But it’s keeping me busy! Thanks for linking up!
Well done on all the classes and virtual runs! I love that picture with you in front of the mural. Matching colours!
Thanks it was a happy accident!
You’ve been hitting it hard lately! I’m sure it’s paying off, though. I am so sorry I missed the zoom chat yesterday–my oldest came over. It had been a month since we last saw him and it was nice to catch up. I’ll be there next time! Thanks for arranging these.
We missed you! Next time for sure.
Aren’t the un-canceled races great? Not that I’m racing them but still some extra mojo between the eating and sitting.
I am really missing my runs with friends. Doesn’t look like it will end soon. My friends are still running solo. Many have even stopped running. I do have one friend that will walk with me twice a week.
Great to see you yesterday. Highlight of my day!
Highlight of my week as well! I am loving our Zoom chats. I do like the uncanceled runs too just to motivate me. Definitely not racing them but fun to do!
Intense week!! Hurts so good, right? Keep up the consistently. Maybe we can walk & talk this week:-)
Intense indeed but keeps me busy! Yes would love a walk chat this week
So happy that you liked the bootcamp class! I agree that it’s a great way to break up the running on the treadmill.
I know I really find them challenging and fun
Love the “run for your life” shirt. Your weather looks gorgeous. I got to run in shorts a few times this week and it was a welcome change. In theory my state is open now but the reality is social distancing/shelter in place is still in effect while a few areas of the economy roll out two weeks at a time.
We did have lots of rain but also lots of nice days. Have to take advantage of them when they pop up
You are definitely keeping busy! I signed up for the Peloton app but since it was mostly a rest week for me, I haven’t tried it yet. Good thing I signed up ;while it was still 3 months free! I’ll have to try to keep the bootcamps in mind.Luckily haven’t been on the mill in a long time.
Thanks again for the Zoom call! Your pool looked amazing.
I am trying to keep busy! Have to do something in between meals 🙂
Lovely to see you yesterday and I had a lovely run today with lots of polite self-distancing from everyone and many smiles. Phew! Good work from you this week and I continue to love your range of workout tops!
So nice to see you face and see you smile!
I’ve done one virtual race and on May 5th I’m running a Cinco DeMayo “QuaranTeam 5K” virtual 5K.
I’m not a fan but at least I can get in a few official running miles.
Andy
Yes the virtual runs definitely keep us motivated!
Great workouts this week! I must get a bootcamp class on my schedule this week! I need to try it. My treadmill has been neglected now that the weather is nice and I have an elliptical. My trips to the grocery store with my husband have been a bit stressful because he says he can’t understand me when I talk while wearing a mask. So yeah, it’s been challenging trying to just get it done.
Very challenging indeed! I am working on making my own bootcamp for Wednesday I really like them
I really love that mural! I braved a bootcamp class this week too. Reminded my of my favorite OTF format, so I definitely will be doing another one. Thanks for hosting our Zoom coffee chat again!
I loved the bootcamp and I am working on my own version as well. Great to see everyone on zoom
Nice job getting in so many great workouts! I love all your tanks adn capri outfits. I wear nearly the same thing every day but you clearly have a great workout wardrobe!
Thanks! I have been pulling everything out these past few weeks. Keeps me motivated
You always have a solid week of workouts. I wish I had a treadmill for those rainy days. I’m still not sure what the Uncanceled project is – I should probably look that up. haha
They offered a bunch of virtual races for free the last few weeks. It’s been fun for motivation
Oh that’s right, there’s an uncanceled 8K now. I can go grab that from today’s walk. Thanks for the reminder.
So good to see you yesterday. I’m so glad you & Coco had that idea last coffee weekend. It’s so something we all need right now.
I love our zoom meet ups! The uncanceled events are great motivation.Hope you had a good walk
You have the best collection of bright and cheery tights! Impressed with how dedicated you are to all the fitness 🙂
Thanks for hosting the link-up!
I’ve been pulling out all of the clothes. Just makes me feel motivated
Great week Deborah!
Thanks again for setting up yesterday’s Zoom – always good to see you 🙂
always great to see your face too!
Haha I feel you on the alternating between exercise and eating stuff! I feel like that’s all I’m doing too! I think we will be virtual for a majority of May too at this point.
And I totally get the love/hate with the bootcamps thing. I think they are so tough but they are definitely a good workout! Especially the 60 minute ones!
Yes I am loving the boot camps and I am working on creating one
Great week on all those workouts! You are making the most of being at home. That Bootcamp class sounds fun!
I sure am trying to!
I love the variety of your workouts! You’re killing it!
I’m so sorry I missed yesterday’s Zoom coffee. Our kids came over for a social distancing barbecue and didn’t leave until 5:30. I checked and you guys had wrapped it up by then. Looking forward to next time!
I sure am trying to mix it up to keep myself entertained! Yes definitely catch you next time on zoom
I was stupid hungry today, which is rare. I usually don’t want anything, but today was all the snacks. Oh, well.
That mural makes me happy every time I see it. It’s just so sweet.
Great job this week! May is going to be great for you, I know it!
I am not sure I have even been hungry I just keep eating crappy stuff. I sure hope that May is a lot better for all of us
One of my coaching clients just started doing the Peleton bootcamps and LOVES it! I still need to check one out but I’m loving their strength and yoga classes right now. Great week of workouts for you!
I am loving all of the classes so much to do so little time!
Great job with all the workouts this week! Thats exciting that you saw your friend on your run. Its the little things these days, right?
It sure is!
Looks like you had a great week!
Thanks I did!
You’ve been able to stay so consistent with your workouts! I’ve been really struggling with at home classes so I’ve been sticking with running but you’re such a great motivation!
Oh you are sweet! I really do enjoy strength training and I am motivated to try all the new Peloton classes
That mural you found by the school is so cool! It was a nice find 🙂 I love stumbling across fun finds like that while running.
So do I!
Awesome week as usual!! I love your workout updates! And I’m loving these high five run pics! They’re too cute!!
Thanks glad to have you joining us weekly now too
Lots of fun workouts! HIIT workouts have grown on me, though I still worry about hitting it too hard lol! Love that mural! I’m glad walking helped with the grocery stress!
I have come to really enjoy the HIIT workouts lately!
Great week again! Love your energy and motivation. Love your sunny weather too. I’ve been eating way too much at home and I can feel it in my pants. Time to change that.
I agree it’s hard not snack more these days
