Thanks for joining Kim and me for the weekly run down today. It is another busy week of fitness, fun, and travel. Yes, more travel! As you recall, this is my summer of yes, I will be there. So, this week I am the plus one for some fun travel.
I will be your plus one
Monday- Peloton cycle + core + barre + upper body strength
Back home and back at it to start off my Monday strong. I took the Peloton Lizzo cycle class that broke the internet last week. It was a really fun and super high energy class. She participated in the class and her backup dancers were in the back. Very cool for those in the studio!
Tuesday- 4.5 mile tempo run + core + stretch + barre
It was a really toasty morning but I was determined to get my run in. I kind of tricked my friend into joining me and she had no idea what she was in for. I had to walk during my recovery minutes but I am ok with that in this heat.
Then, we were off again on a train to NYC! My husband had to be here for work so yes, I will be your plus one. We went to a work event and then a late dinner.
Wednesday-Peloton core + barre+ upper & lower body strength
A nice hotel gym workout. My hotel also had a Peloton win! I pretty much spent the day eating all the NYC foods from bagels to pizza. Then, an afternoon meetup with Cari for a glass of wine.
Thursday- Central Park run with Cari 5.5 miles + stretch
I had the best run tour guide of Central Park today~ Cari was a fab running partner and guide on a super hot and steamy morning. We could have chatted for hours! She took me on a loop around the reservoir and we of course stopped at all the fun photo spots. See my full IG reel for all the photos.
Friday-Flying to France
About that plus one-I also opted in for the last minute trip to the South of France and Italy for a week. We left from NYC late Thursday night to get into Nice, France Friday morning.
Saturday- Peloton core + upper body strength
A quick hotel workout before heading out to explore Cannes. It is super hot here as it is almost everywhere but still a fun city to explore. I am also enjoying putting my high school French to good use-ha.
I had trouble getting my photos to upload hopefully that will work next week but I do have them on IG if you are interested.
Sunday- on the plan some sort of run
I am not sure what kind of run will happen today but I will do my best.
It has been another crazy, whirlwind week around here!
Kimberly Hatting says
You are quite the traveling queen!! Glad you had a nice stop in NYC (and fun with Cari), and arrived safely in France. Have a great time!!
Deborah Brooks says
It has been a whirlwind summer of travel. I am thankful to have lots of great opportunities
Darlene says
Well that is an exciting week. Cari is a great tour guide.
And the south of France? I spent a year of college in Nice and visited Cannes. Too bad I could tag along to help you with your French. lol.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes my high school French is not getting me too far!
Melissa says
New York and Nice!!!! How! Have such an amazing time. Can’t wait to follow along and see photos, etc.
Coco says
As if running with Cari wasn’t enough to make me jealous! Your last minute trip to France and Italy looks amazing already! Let me know you ever need an extra plus one!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes, running with Cari would have been enough for sure! We had a great time together. I sure will let you know 🙂
Wendy says
You weren’t kidding when you said you were traveling a lot! Enjoy your French getaway— I know you will!
Deborah Brooks says
yes, we really are this year! Next up is my vacation with you 🙂
Marcia says
How fun to enjoy a run with Cari! I’m sure the tour was amazing as is your travel to France and Italy. Have so much fun!
Deborah Brooks says
It was great to run with her on our way out she is a fab NYC hostess!
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
What a fun summer of adventure you’re having! My husband used to travel a lot for work (Italy, England, France, Austin, Cali) and I always passed on the trips because the kids were young, saying I’d travel with him when they got older. Once they were out of the nest, his work travel ended. Boo!
Deborah Brooks says
yes, we had the same issue when our kids were younger. I am taking full advantage now though!
Chocolaterunsjudy says
Wow, you are getting around! So much fun this week! Can’t wait to read about the rest of your adventures.
Deborah Brooks says
yes, we are certainly getting around this summer. I used to be leery about jetting off on a whim but now I am all in
Michele Heller says
You get to go on such great adventures. I love that you found people to run/tour with. Sounds like an amazing week.
Deborah Brooks says
yes I am lucky to have friends in everywhere to run with! Let me know if you come DC
Jenny says
Wow, that’s an exciting week! I love that you got a personalized tour of Central Park from Cari. I can’t wait to hear more about the south of France and Italy- too bad Europe is having a huge heat wave! But as you said, it’s hot everywhere. Have fun!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes, running with Cari was very special-highly recommend it! It is hot here and everywhere. More on my trip next week and on IG 🙂
Cari says
Those skies <3 Have an amazing trip
So glad to have spent time with you, and yes we could have talked our way through a lor more miles if it were cooler
So grateful to know you
Deborah Brooks says
yes we sure could have! Running with you was a definite highlight of my NYC trip thanks again
Liz Dexter says
So cool you got to run with Cari! Lovely pics. I didn’t run Mon/Tue as it was so hot – at least the predictions were true and I didn’t plan to do nothing for nothing, if you see what i mean. Through it now and back to normal.
Deborah Brooks says
I don’t blame you at all! It is unusually hot in Europe! sounds like you made a smart choice
Kim G says
What a busy but fun week for you! So glad that you were able to meet up with Cari while in NYC. You bth are rockstars for running in Central Park doing this heatwave! Hope you have the best time in France – the photos look beautiful!
Deborah Brooks says
It was super hot but I could not pass up the chance to run with her. You must join us next time!
Jenn says
I love the summer of yes! This is just a great way to get things done! What a fun week for you! I miss NYC so much and it must be so awesome to get to pop over like that.
Deborah Brooks says
yes, it has been pretty great
Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
Oh wow! I will have to go stalk you on IG 🙂 Hope you are having an amazing time (and maybe enjoying just a little bit of heat??)! Enjoy!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes definitely check my IG for more photos! It has been super hot but we are still having a great time
Jessie says
Looks like a blast Deb! We are looking at the south of france with a few friends next summer who already were planning to go. I think its going to be Bandol. Have you been there?
Nice work on the tempo run in the heat, and nothing wrong with walking recoveries. That’s what they’re there for!
Deborah Brooks says
I have not been there! The whole area is great but have to say I am more a fan of the Italian side of things.
