Welcome to the new Weekly Run Down with your hosts Deborah and Kim. A place to chat about your week in running, gym time or anything that keeps your heart pumping. Join us each Sunday to share your highs and lows of the week.
Welcome to the Weekly Run Down
Sunday- 3 mile run
I was Bloomington, IN visiting my kids last weekend. Literally, as soon as I stepped out the door there was a mini snow squall with ridiculous winds.I had originally hoped for a longer run but those winds were just wicked. A run is a run though!
Monday- 30 min Peloton bike + 60 m strength training
Rough wake up after delayed flights. Always feels good to sweat it out on a Monday. If you missed my Meatless Monday last week, you can find it here. Mu Shu Vegetables and Tofu are an easy weeknight meal.
Tuesday- 4.25 mile run + hot yoga 60 m
Nice to get back out there with my crew for our regular run. Sometimes you just need a mid run high five!
Wednesday- 90 min strength training and kickboxing + 30 m walk
Wednesdays are my hardest workout day and I always look forward to them. Love balancing moves combined with strength training moves.
In all honesty, I was not in the mood for the 30 min walk today but I am in the RunBet challenge and needed that walk to count for the week. I love how the challenge gets me out there on days when I most certainly would not get outside. I set up my own March Challenge starting tomorrow if anyone wants to join me, the more the merrier.
Thursday- 4.5 mile run
Felt a lot better on my today and took less walk breaks. Ironically, I started feeling some shin/tendon soreness after my run. I have been icing and stretching and will take the weekend off and let it rest.
Friday- 45 m Peloton class
Saturday- 30 min walk + hot yoga 60 m class
Thought it was a good idea to give that shin? ankle? tenderness another rest day. Did my 30 minute walk and headed into hot yoga which always feels amazing.
Kim G says
Great week of workouts, as always! That snow squall sounds brutal. You made the right decision to cut that run short!
Thanks so much for co-hosting the Weekly Run Down!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes not too many miles this week but that’s ok! See you at the link up in a few hours thanks!
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
You had a great workout week! I hope your shin/ankle tenderness is nothing concerning and goes away quickly.
Thanks for the linkup!
Deborah Brooks says
Oh I do too. May take an extra day off of running this week to make sure.
Cari says
Yes yes yes on mid-run high five. Sometimes they’re all we need. Also, fun pose.
You hit the nail on the head re: challenges and how they push us. That’s how I am with my Fitbit ones. Want to do your RunBet but not sure my achilles is there yet for four runs. Will you do it in April again?
Deborah Brooks says
I hope to do it again next month as well. I only run 3 days a week myself and do a walk for the 4th. Will keep you posted! Those achilles are tough to rehab mine took months
Cari says
I ‘d be game for the walk one, but I’ve never managed to track them since I don’t have data on my phone. Will see if I can figure it out before April. I remember you mentioning that — I’m determined not to further injure it
Deborah Brooks says
That would certainly be the goal!!
Kimberly Hatting says
Another busy week for you! I love all the variety you bring to your fitness!!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! I wish I could run more days but my body just can’t do it. I do love all of my fitness endeavors but nothing like a run!
Coco says
Ugh. I hope your foot gets better more quickly than mine. Did yoga seem to irritate it at all? Fun that you got to see your kids last weekend. Glad you got home eventually. ‘-)
Deborah Brooks says
Yoga did not seem to both it at all. It is feeling better already with just a few days off. I may take an extra one this week just to be sure.
Liz Dexter says
Look at you all wrapped up! What a lovely strong active week. And thank you so much for keeping the weekly get-togethers going, I’d be lost without them. Hooray!
Deborah Brooks says
We really enjoyed them as well and just did not want to let them go. Thanks so much for helping us keep them going.
Wendy says
Rest days are rest days for me too! You worked hard this week and you earned it!!
Thanks for the linkup.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks rest days are hard but I know I need them!
Michelle C says
Thank you for hosting the link up! Hoping your ouchiness is nothing and it goes away quickly!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so do I! It’s feeling much better with just a few days off of running so I am hopeful
Renée says
still a good week Deborah despite a few blips here and there. I have some shin soreness as well – I didn’t know icing could help, but I’m going to try that!!
so happy you and Kim are doing the linkup – thank you so much for that!
Deborah Brooks says
Hey I always assume icing can’t hurt and it does seem to reduce the inflammation as well. I don’t like to take advil unless I really have to. Yes a good week over all. Thanks for joining the weekly run down
Judy @ Cho says
Sounds like a very solid week to me — traveling is so tiring (just ask Mr. Judy!). Poor Marcia!
Anyway, I hope that the shin simmers down.
Deborah Brooks says
Traveling is super tiring. Don’t know how my hubs does it all the time. The shin is feeling better already with a few days rest.
Michelle @ Running with Attitude says
Another great week for you!
Thanks to you and Kim for hosting this new link-up!
Deborah Brooks says
We are happy to host and glad to have the crew join us!
Becca | Rabbit Food Runner says
I’m so glad the Sunday community is continuing on 🙂 I agree that having a challenge helps on the days you don’t want to get out. SMart to let the ankle rest a bit more though – I hope it’s better next week!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much it’s already feeling better with a few days of rest
Akaleistar says
Hot yoga sounds so good on a cold day like today 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Hot yoga is the best in the winter time! Have you ever tried it?
Hannah says
Wind is the worst! I hope your shin is feeling back to normal soon.
Deborah Brooks says
It is feeling a lot better already so fingers crossed
Deborah Brooks says
I am having trouble commenting on your blog I will try again later!
angela @ happy fit mama says
Thanks for keeping the weekly wrap/run down alive with Kim! I was feeling quite sad that I was going to be able to keep up the ladies anymore. Nice week of workouts! I love your star tights from Thursday’s run. 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks for joining us we were also hoping to keep up the fantastic relationships we have made with everyone
Laura Norris says
Thank you for keeping the Weekly Wrap/Run Down going! I hope your shin/ankle feels better this week. Your Wednesday workout sounds so tough and so fun!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks it’s already feeling a lot better. Just needed a few days off. Thanks for joining us for the weekly run down
Zenaida Arroyo says
You look so cute in that picture in your Peloton bike.
Love that you incorporate so many different activities during the week. Me? Just running and walking (during class).
Deborah Brooks says
I wish I could run more days in the week but my body says no. So, alas, I have learned to love other types of fitness as well
Chaitali says
Thanks for hosting this new link up! And I love all the variety of work outs you fit into your week. I’m looking forward to the runbet this month 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
It is going to be lots of fun! Glad to have you
