Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down. Took advantage of my empty nesting situation and joined my husband for a few days in California. We spent a few days eating and drinking ourselves happy in the Wine Country of Napa Valley with some friends.
Wine Country Getaway
Monday- 30 min interval Peloton class + 90 min kick boxing/strength training + 2 mile walk
Knowing I was going to have some long travel days this week, I was determined to hit it hard this Monday. See what I did there? ha!
Tuesday- 4 mile run/walk
Woke up feeling kind of sore and kind of allergish. Forced myself to get out there and log some miles. You don’t have to go fast or far, you just have to go.
Wednesday- travel to California
Super long travel day for us including our plane making an emergency landing in Denver for a medical situation on board. The woman was able to walk off the plane in Denver. For some reason the rest of us were stuck there for 3 hours. So it took us almost 12 hours to get to San Francisco and then drive to Napa. Whew exhausted!
Thursday- 3 ish mile run/walk intervals
Took advantage of my beautiful surroundings for a quick 5K. Spent the afternoon at some wine tastings.
Friday- 16 mile bike ride + 2 mile walk
Hubs and I rented bikes and rode on the Napa Valley Vine Trail together. I was all prepared to go alone but he got FOMO at the last minute and decided to join me. Not sure he will admit it, but I think he really enjoyed it. More wine tasting this afternoon.
Saturday- 20 mile bike ride and wine tasting
Hubs came along again with me and we really had a fantastic time. My legs are sore but nothing another wine tasting cannot help. Ha!
Sunday- Travel to Los Angeles
My husband has to be in LA for work next week so I am joining him for 2 days. Have not been there in a long time so should be fun!
Well that is my Weekly Run Down and a little summary of my weekend adventure in Wine Country. Hope everyone has a nice Labor Day Weekend. See you tomorrow for meatless Monday and Friday for the September Ultimate Coffee Date.
I am impressed that your hubs did all that biking with you! Mine probably would have driven to all the wineries and had wine while waiting with me. Glad to see you’re having so much fun. Enjoy LA!
That was the original plan! I guess I can be persuasive 😂
You don’t have to go fast or far, you just have to go: I must remind myself this quote!!!!
Glad you have fun in Ca.
If you like wine you have to come to Italy!
We love Italy! We were there last summer up in Lake Garda. Yes a good quote to remember on those rough days
Wow! That’s so scary about the medical emergency. Thank goodness the woman is okay, but not sure why the plan was stuck there for so long – that’s nuts!
I love that you have been so active while visiting Napa!
Some kind of paperwork situation apparently. Long travel day! Yes we are having lots of activity and lots of eating 😂
How love that your husband joined you for the bike rides! Sounds like a fun trip so far. I could definitely use some Napa wine tasting 🙂
It is very unlike him so a nice surprise
Love those strong pics, but what a shame about your flight. Looks like you made up for it, and lovely to see the photos.
We definitely made up for it and packed a lot into our few days.
I love that your hubby enjoyed the bike rides! Maybe you’ve converted him. Enjoy the rest of your getaway.
Well not sure his enthusiasm will continue once we get home ha ha.
I have to admit to some jealousy. It’s been a long, long LONG time since I’ve been on vacation.
Ah well, enjoy — I can see that you are! And I love the action shots of you boxing.
We are having a great time. I’m taking advantage of my hubs work travel and tagging along now that the kids are grown
So, it appears we BOTH have hubbies joining us on the bikes this week? Lucky us (or lucky them?) 😉 Your trip to Napa looks so fun! We visited some of the Napa wineries when we were in San Fran a few years ago…only it was in late December, so not as nice of weather for us. Enjoy your time in LA!
Oh definitely lucky them! Ha ha. We had fun together and it was a nice surprise that he joined me 2x. It is much hotter than I expected! Off to LA now for 2 days. Hoping to get him on a hike tomorrow
Napa Valley! My husband and I went there probably 20 years ago. I really want to get back there. Why are all of the cool places on the other side of the country from me? That’s frustrating about your travel to get there. Sounds like a great time once you arrived!
I know the grass is always greener right!?
How cool to spend time and get some bike rides in in Napa! Definitely a place on my list to travel to.
It was a fun filled few days. Hope you make it out there sometime soon
Love Napa and haven’t been in ages – what a fun place to spend a few days! So great that your hubby joined you for cycling. Enjoy LA!
It was a fun place to relax for a few days. Yes him joining me was an unexpected surprise!
How fun! I haven’t been to Napa in so long. Looks like you had a wonderful time. Enjoy LA!
We really did have a nice few days!
Oh Napa is so beautiful…sounds like a really great getaway! I love that you still fit in fitness along the way. And of course, plenty of good wine 🙂
I did get a lot of biking in. I am sure I did not burn off all that I ate and drank though. Fun weekend away
Looks like you are having a great trip! Its been way too long since Ive been to Napa. Sorry about that flight though! Hope you have fun in LA!
We are having a really fun trip and heading out for a hike in LA today
Allergish is such a perfect word. Hope they passed. Napa looks like a wonderful place to ride. Enjoy LA. I go most years – good fun
Yes it’s been a super fun trip so far!
Oh, this looks amazing! Wine country is so much fun!
And look at all the air you’re getting with your kickboxing! So cool!
Thanks we are having a really fun time
Great kickboxing action shots! I’m impressed with all the biking, not sure how long I would last while wine tasting!
We did the wine tasting afterwards!
Those kickboxing photos are INTENSE!! Enjoy the nice long weekend in LA!
Thanks I had fun doing them too. Weekend in California is great
That is weird that you guys still had to wait a few hours on the plane. I would have been annoyed. Glad you made it (even exhausted) to Napa! Enjoy the rest of the time in Los Angeles. Maybe you’ll see someone famous. 🙂
NO famous people yet but having a great time out here
That sounds like an amazing trip. Can’t wait to read about it.
What a fun trip! Except for the extra 3 hours in Denver:-(
Yes exactly!
It sounds like you had a great trip! It’s been several years since I’ve been to Napa Valley and I’ve never been to LA.
Thanks for the linkup!
We did have a fun few days out there!
