Where Am I This Week?

Monday-45 min Peloton bike

Arrived back home late last night and serious jet lag set in. I was up all night but so tired. After rolling around for hours, I decided to get up and sweat it out. Felt so much better after getting back on my Peloton for a sweat session.

where am I this week

Tuesday- 3 mile run + Pure Barre Class

Woke up to thunderstorms this morning but really wanted to get a run in. What’s a mother runner to do? We analyzed the radar and dodged the storms to get in a quick run. When you are in perfect sync with your running buddy!

where am I this week

One of our MRTT besties is moving out of the area so we set up a Pure Barre class and lunch for her. Pure Barre is one of her fave cross training exercises. Not so much mine! Truth be told, Barre class is just not my thing but anything for a friend. Great to be back with my crew.

Wednesday- Travel to Toronto

Yes, I am back on a plane again! At least I will be on the same time zone when we land in Toronto. Our Moms Do It All Night Long team is headed to take on Ragnar Niagara Falls.

Thursday-Touring Toronto 3 m walk

We checked out the 114 story high CN Tower. Wow it’s high up there!

Friday-Ragnar starts- 1st leg 6  miles

I have 3 run legs of about 6 miles each. Heading out to take on 18 miles after traveling for 2 weeks sounds like a super smart idea huh?

Off to a great start!

Saturday- Ragnar legs 2 & 3- 12 miles

Full recap coming this week .

Sunday-Niagara Falls Tour

We are scheduled to take a 4 hour tour of Niagara Falls today. Stay tuned for lots of photos and fun. Heading back home tonight. My plan is to stay in my own time zone for the for seeable future. Where am I right now? Your guess is as good as mine!

Thanks for linking up!

    Great shots.
    I feel you on Pure Barre. Did it during a conference and that’s one and done. But yes, the things we do for friends. Pardon me as I blow up your replies. I can’t wait to see your photos

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 4:21 pm

      Thanks for following along and I can’t wait to share all about Ragnar

    It’s been so fun traveling (virtually) with you! SO many fun adventures and sights…and let’s not forget Jerry!!!!!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 4:26 pm

      Yes so much fun travel and yes more about Jerry this week 😊

  3. Liz Dexter says

    06/02/2019 at 12:11 pm

    Wow, a serious week! Look forward to the Ragnar write-up and well done on battling the jet lag.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 4:29 pm

      Thanks! Ragnar was amazing race recap coming Wednesday thanks for joining us today

  4. Coco says

    06/02/2019 at 1:33 pm

    You must be so tired! I do think jet lag can help with Ragnar, though. Who’s bothered by running odd hours when you don’t know what time it is anyway? This looks like a fantastic Ragnar — I hope you do it again and I can plan for it this time.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 4:33 pm

      I am exhausted and a little sore but we had an amazing time! You must join next time

  5. Chocolaterunsjudy says

    06/02/2019 at 1:33 pm

    Love Niagara Falls so much & haven’t been since I graduated from college! Looks like you had a great time there. It always looks like you have a great time!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 4:35 pm

      We had so much fun and it was fabulous to tour the falls today. Hope to get a full recap up Wednesday. Thanks for linking up

  6. Renée says

    06/02/2019 at 1:35 pm

    are you exhausted yet, Deborah??! what a week! glad you were able to get a normal run in before Ragnar and that you got together with your gang to do barre (even if not your fave – it’s so nice to do stuff with your fitness friends!)

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 4:40 pm

      Yes I am now officially exhausted!

  7. Melissa says

    06/02/2019 at 2:51 pm

    What a fun week! We are heading up that way shortly for some time in Toronto and Niagara Falls. Would love any kid friendly recommendations. Can’t wait to hear how the Ragnar went.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 4:44 pm

      I would definitely do the falls boat tour and the behind the falls tour. Lots of fun!

  8. Kim G says

    06/02/2019 at 2:53 pm

    I can’t keep up with all of your travels! Sounds like you had a great time in Toronto and I can’t wait to hear all about it!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 4:46 pm

      We did have a great time. Ready for some rest !

  9. Jessie says

    06/02/2019 at 3:12 pm

    You ran so well at Ragnar! Amazing work!

    I’ve heard that CNN tower is intense. I kind of have a fear of heights so probably couldn’t do it.

    Your pics on insta of Niagara Falls were so cool!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 4:50 pm

      I have a fear of heights too I was so nervous. Thanks I felt so much more confident about my running after your help. I ran 18 miles!!

  10. Laurie says

    06/02/2019 at 3:16 pm

    I have never been to a barre class, os I don’t know anything about it. They are not offered by my local rec center, so they are not on my radar. Deborah, you get around! Have fun on your Niagra Falls tour and congrats on the successful Ragnar!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 5:07 pm

      I do get around lately! I’m ready to be home in my own bed

  11. Michelle @ Running with Attitude says

    06/02/2019 at 3:58 pm

    I bet in some ways the jet lag may not be so bad with Ragnar since you’re running at odd times. I hope you had a blast!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 5:10 pm

      We did have a blast but I am exhausted and ready to be back in my own bed

  12. Akaleistar says

    06/02/2019 at 4:10 pm

    Sounds like a busy week!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 5:14 pm

      Indeed it was!!

  13. Becca | Rabbit Food Runner says

    06/02/2019 at 4:21 pm

    Wow, lots of travel for you! I am impressed you found time to blog too, haha. The Ragnar sounds so fun, your team name is great.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 5:17 pm

      Trying to keep up! Happy to be heading home

  14. Darlene says

    06/02/2019 at 4:24 pm

    Another busy week for you. Aren’t they all?

    I would never run a Ragnar but I would love to run near Niagara Falls. I’bve only been once and years ago.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 5:21 pm

      It was a really fun race. Ragnar races are a blast

  15. Debbie @ Deb Runs says

    06/02/2019 at 4:46 pm

    I can’t wait to read your Ragnar recap. Ragnars are always so much fun and I’m glad you keep doing them so I can live vicariously through your recaps!

    We saw Niagara Falls right after we were married and on our way to Utah for grad school. We took the northerly route as we drove out west and Niagara Falls was one of the places we stopped (as well as viewing NYC from the top of one of the World Trade Center towers).

    Thanks for the linkup!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/02/2019 at 5:23 pm

      I do love the Ragnar races! There is nothing like them.

  16. angela @ happy fit mama says

    06/02/2019 at 6:32 pm

    I love that you have a tank that accurately displays your jet lag. Lol! Another week of solid workouts. I hope your Ragnar was fun! It’s been so long since I did a relay like that. Maybe I need to do that this fall?

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/03/2019 at 9:03 am

      So much fun! yes you need to do another one

  17. Wendy says

    06/02/2019 at 7:15 pm

    I’m really looking forward to your recap. This Ragnar looks like so much fun! I was at Niagara Falls when I was young–I’d love to go back.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/03/2019 at 9:07 am

      We really had a blast will share this week!

  18. Jenn says

    06/02/2019 at 8:42 pm

    Oh, how fun!

    I have neither been to Canada nor Niagara Falls – that may have to be our summer vacation next year.

    Love that you are getting a fabulous racecation!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/03/2019 at 9:11 am

      We did have a fabulous racecation and it’s back to reality today! Definitely a fun place to visit

  19. Marcia says

    06/02/2019 at 8:56 pm

    You’ve been a total jet setter. I’ll bet it’ll feel great to get home and settle in for awhile! I haven’t been to Niagara Falls since before we were married.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/03/2019 at 9:15 am

      Yes I have been jet setting around and I am so ready to be home with nothing on my schedule this week!

  20. Allie says

    06/03/2019 at 4:52 am

    So much greatness! I give you ALL the credit for traveling to a Ragnar right after your trip halfway around the world. Seems like you’re doing just fine and having all the fun your supposed to in Canada and relay racing. Have the best time checking out the falls today – they are stunning!!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/03/2019 at 9:20 am

      Yes I do feel like I have been on a whirlwind of sorts we had the best time. Looking forward to a nice boring week this week

  21. Laura Norris says

    06/03/2019 at 6:08 am

    Sounds like a busy and fun week! I bet Niagara Falls is beautiful this time of year!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/03/2019 at 3:57 pm

      So busy! It was gorgeous this time of the year before all the tourists

  22. Chaitali says

    06/03/2019 at 8:01 am

    I am so impressed that you turned right around to travel again after your big trip! I hope you had a great time in Toronto 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/03/2019 at 4:07 pm

      Well it was not easy! I had a fantastic time all around. Full recap coming soon

  23. Hannah says

    06/03/2019 at 10:15 am

    Wow, that is a busy week to end with a Ragnar! It all looks like fun.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/03/2019 at 4:18 pm

      busy week indeed but lots of fun! Happy to be home now

  24. Denise @ runheartfit says

    06/04/2019 at 12:54 pm

    I’ve never done a Ragnar race but Niagara Falls would be a great place to start. Sounds like you had a great time.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/04/2019 at 7:25 pm

      We sure did! Hope you have the chance to try one sometime they are a blast
