This was a crazy busy week with lots of Holiday Hustle! Fun but exhausting. I did my best to keep up my workouts and stay on track with exercise and eating well. Not always easy this time of the year is it? Joining in with Holly and Wendy to share my week.
Holiday Hustle
Monday- 30 min elliptical + 60 min strength training + 3 mile hilly afternoon walk
I knew this week was going to be the start of my holiday hustle and I wanted to start my Monday off strong. Took advantage of a warm and sunny day and had a great afternoon walk with a friend.
Tuesday- 4 mile run + end of season girls on the run party
Was hoping for a longer run but it didn’t happen. Tuesday afternoon was our end of the year celebration for Girls On The Run. Giving 70 girls pizza and cupcakes turns them into a crazy, wild bunch. Sad to see our season come to an end.
Wednesday- 90 min strength training/kickboxing + 20 min elliptical
Lots of lunges and today!
Thursday- 3 mile run and coffee birthday breakfast for a friend
The best runs end with coffee and breakfast. Off to 2 parties in the evening for the hubs work stuff. Holiday hustle in full swing!
Friday- 60 min Ashtanga yoga + MRTT Holiday party
I usually do more of a vinyasa flow and this ashtanga yoga was much more challenging and reminded me how tight my hamstrings are!
In case you did not see my photos posted everywhere, I hosted our 5th annual Moms Run This Town Holiday Party. We had over 40 ladies there and it was the best ever. My heart is full. It’s always fun to see your running friends in real clothes!
Saturday- 60 min hot yoga
Slept in until 9:15 which felt amazing. Hit up a noon hot yoga class. Last party of the week at the Indian Embassy. I was really looking forward to this one. We had the amazing opportunity to celebrate Hanukkah at the Embassy of India. First time wearing a Sari.
Oh. I want more details on the Hanukkah party.
Running friends are the best. I went to a party with mine last night
I could do a 15k today but decided to downgrade to the 3m. Good luck with yours.
It was a really cool experience to go to the Indian embassy. I really was not aware of the Indian/Jewish connection until quite recently. I’d love to learn more
You still got in a lot of workouts even though your week was busy! I don’t really have any holiday parties (other than ones during the work day) which is good because I don’t think I could handle doing anything else at this point! It’s definitely a busy time of year.
Thankfully this was my busiest week! Hope to take it a little more easy this week. You are getting super close to labor day 🙂
You look amazing in your sari!! How fun to experience another culture. Looks like you had a really fun week!
Thanks busy and fun. Ready to take a little break this week
You look gorgeous in the sari. Those colors so suit you
Thanks so much it was fun to do something out of my comfort zone
What a holiday filled week! I love the Sari! SO very cool
It was a very hectic but fun week
You did have a crazy, busy week!! I love the pic of you and the hubby!! Looking so festive and beautiful 😉 I agree…I love seeing my runner/fitness pals in non-fitness gear, which is why I do the Friday Fashion Flair post each week. 😉
Yes it is fun to step away from the workout wear sometimes-only sometimes 🙂
You’ve been a busy party girl! Yes things are crazy here and I don’t know if I’m coming or going. Ugh.
That was me all week but I think I am over the hump!
So much holiday! So much hustle! How cool to go to the embassy – you look great in that sari! Your MRTT holiday party looks like it was so much fun. You are a gem for hosting that too. And doing the GOTR party. Girl, you were busy this week! Sorry I missed you at the Jingle. 😉
It looks like you had a wonderfully busy week. I’m amazed at how many you had at your MRTT party. It sounds so fun!
You should come out and meet us all next time!
OMG you look gorgeous in that sari! What an incredible event to be able to attend. And I love how many parties you have around running and with your running friends and community. Very, very cool!!
Thanks! It was a really busy and fun filled week around here. Looking forward to a quieter week this year
What a beautiful group of girls…the young ones and the adults! Working with GOTR must feel so rewarding. You look so lovely in the sari. Love the colors. What a fun and festive week with all of the events to attend! Thanks for linking.
It was a busy and super fun week. I am exhausted though and looking forward to a more boring week this week
Wow you were super busy this week but it looks like it was all fun stuff. Celebrating Hanukkah at the Embassy of India must have been such an amazing experience and I love the color Sari that you’re wearing.
This week starts my holiday parties. My office party is Wednesday afternoon, after a big finance town hall. I don’t think any work will get done that afternoon.
I bet no work will be done! Have a great time
No, we’re not party animals. And hosting 40? I can’t even imagine! But it’s nice to have so many celebrations, even if it is exhausting.
Looking forward to hearing how the 15k went!
It was nice to have everyone over and all the celebrations were fantastic. I am exhausted today!
What a fun week! I love that you got to celebrate Hanukkah at the Indian Embassy. You look great in the sari!
It was a super cool experience glad we got to attend
5 (?) parties in one week, wow! The Embassy party sounds really interesting.
Yes it was a crazy week!
