Weekly Wrap Hello May

Monday 30 min elliptical + 60 min strength training + 10 mile bike

After my rest day Sunday, I was ready to hit it hard on Monday. Feeling pretty good on the bike this week even after my strength training workout.

Tuesday- 4 ish mile run

The April showers really do bring May Flowers. Hello May!

 

April showers really do bring May flowers 🌸 What a gorgeous day! #WelcomeMay #blueskies #warmtemps #sunshine #motherrunner #runnergirl #love2run #runitout #MRTT #momsrunthistown #seenonmyrun #fitgoals #fitbloggroup #alwaysrunning #livewellbewell #livingthefitlife #tuesdaymorningrun

A post shared by Confessions Of A Mother Runner (@deborahbrooks14) on May 1, 2018 at 8:16am PDT

Wednesday- 90m kickboxing and strength training

Always my most intense workout of the week. Told my trainer we needed to do some intense core work and these jack knives on the Bosu were quite the challenge. I should have posted the outtakes where I fell off and backwards. LOL

Weekly Wrap Hello May

Thursday- 3 mile run

My 4 mile run turned into a 3 mile run. Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. We hit summer temps this week of 90+ and I just was not ready for them. The pollen is out in force and I literally had to walk the last mile of my run.

Weekly Wrap Hello May

Friday- rest day

Had to bail on my workouts today to wait for a service repairman.

Saturday- rest day

Packet pick up for tomorrow’s Sprint Tri race. Weather is looking a little better may not be a total wash out after all. First meeting for our Ragnar Napa Team.

Sunday- Race Day! Westfields Sprint Triathlon Here I come!

I have a really delicious, Israeli inspired Meatless Monday recipe for you tomorrow starring Allwhitesâ„¢ , veggies, tomatoes and crusty bread. Can’t wait to share it with you. If you can’t wait, check out some recipes here.

And that’s a wrap! How did this week go by so quickly?! Happy to say Hello May but please slow it down a bit thanks!

    It’s amazing how quickly we jumped into summer weather. So far I’ve been enjoying it but I find that running early in the morning its not too hot yet. Good luck in your race!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/06/2018 at 3:27 pm

      Yes I imagine it’s much cooler when you run! It got pretty toasty last week

  2. Kim G says

    05/06/2018 at 2:51 pm

    Awesome job this week and glad that your Tri went well today!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/06/2018 at 3:28 pm

      I am a little rusty!

  3. Jennifer @ Fit Nana says

    05/06/2018 at 3:54 pm

    Those bosu jack knives look killer!! I’m sure I would have fallen off, too! lol

    I’m sorry you had to take an impromptu rest day to wait for a service repairman. Hopefully, everything is fixed and up and running!

    Can’t wait to hear all about the tri! So glad the rain held out for you!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/06/2018 at 4:19 pm

      It never hurts to take an extra rest day!

  4. Wendy says

    05/06/2018 at 3:57 pm

    I’m really anxious to hear all about your tri! Looks like you had a great week of training leading up to it!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/06/2018 at 4:20 pm

      It was lots of fun I am def a little rusty!

  5. Marcia says

    05/06/2018 at 3:59 pm

    May is intense! I’m glad we’re not freezing anymore though. Can’t wait to hear about your tri!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/06/2018 at 4:21 pm

      It was fun but I am a little rusty. Stay tuned for more details

  6. Lesley says

    05/06/2018 at 4:04 pm

    It’s never easy with the Bosu. I did some exercises on it during PT, and I would always need help.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/06/2018 at 4:21 pm

      I love the Bosu always a great challenge!

  7. [email protected] says

    05/06/2018 at 5:03 pm

    I totally agree that this week flew by and I can’t catch up!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/06/2018 at 5:37 pm

      Right there with you!

    Those Bosu jack knives sound like a great core workout but super challenging! I would fall off too haha. I’m so happy to see the May flowers!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/06/2018 at 5:38 pm

      It takes a little practice!

  9. Kimberly Hatting says

    05/06/2018 at 5:24 pm

    I don’t have a Bosu (yet), but want to get one ASAP. I tried planking on one when we were in Florida (spring break), and I was swaying and rocking like crazy. I’d def be falling over if I tried jackknifing on one LOL

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/06/2018 at 5:38 pm

      Well there is definitely a learning curve! I am pretty sure you could do it though

  10. Catherine says

    05/06/2018 at 6:17 pm

    Ragnar Napa looks like I much fun! I’ve done the northwest passage one and was so impressed by how well run it was. But no wineries so Napa probably wins

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/06/2018 at 8:23 pm

      I’d love to do that one too!

  11. Lacey@fairytalesandfitness says

    05/06/2018 at 6:44 pm

    I hope this next week goes just a fast as the first week did. Of course when you are looking forward to something(like I am) it just drags!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/06/2018 at 8:27 pm

      ha and I am hoping things slow down a bit. My May is just crazy!

  12. HoHo Runs says

    05/07/2018 at 12:56 pm

    It’s crazy you’ve hit 90 degrees already! That’s too much too soon! But, you do have pretty spring flowers. I hope you enjoyed your Tri. I can’t wait to hear the details. Thanks for linking!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/07/2018 at 1:09 pm

      I had a great time but a little rusty!

  13. Debbie @ Deb Runs says

    05/07/2018 at 4:01 pm

    That heat came in a bit too quickly so I bet a later run on Wednesday was difficult! You had great weather yesterday morning!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      05/07/2018 at 7:52 pm

      We did after all!

  14. Jessie says

    05/07/2018 at 7:54 pm

    Glad that your Tri went well today! I’ve been doing so much swimming and spin during my recovery that people keep asking if I’ll do a tri, but I don’t think so…I don’t actually like cycling that much 🙂 Maybe a duathlon with just swimming and running, hehe 🙂

    Great week for you! Thanks for sharing.

      Biking outside is so different and maybe you would like it more? Maybe when you are healed you can try riding outside
