Is it really December already!? November always seems to fly by for me. Between my birthday, my husband’s birthday and Thanksgiving it’s a busy one. Add in travel to Napa, Philadelphia and New York and it is quite a blur. Joining Hoho and Wendy for the Weekly Wrap Wrapping Up November.
Wrapping Up November
Sunday- rest day
Spent the day helping the kids pack to head back to school. Sniff Sniff. I know the next 2 weeks will fly by and they will be home again.
Monday-30 min elliptical + 60 min strength training
Lots of triceps and abs today.
Tuesday- 4 mile run
We had crazy windy days this week. Almost lost my hat few times!
Wednesday- 90 min strength training and kickboxing + 2 mile treadmill walk
A sweat fest over here today. Love to do compound moves that require both balance and strength. I was supposed to meet a friend for a walk but it was way too windy. I hit the treadmill for a walk and caught up on some tv shows.
Thursday- 3.75 mile run
Today’s run felt hard and the strong wind was really a challenge. Had originally planned to go a little longer but nope didn’t happen.
Friday- 60 min Vinyasa yoga
Did it really happen if I went to yoga and forgot to take a photo? ha ha. I did have a chance to take my new Aftershokz air out for a quick test run. I love the idea of being able to listen to music and also hear what is going on around me. Full review coming soon. Thanks to Bib Rave for the chance to check them out.
Saturday- Hot Yoga 60 min
Loving my hot yoga on cold winter mornings. The hamstrings have been super tight lately and I love the warm stretching.
Sunday- Girls On The Run 5K
Stay tuned for details!
Darlene says
Nice week. Our GOTR 5k got cancelled due to snow.
Isn’t great to have friends to run with.
I’m looking forward to some holiday parties and getting to see friends that I don’t see often.
Deborah Brooks says
oh no that is so unfortunate! What a bummer for the girls who worked all season for it. Have fun at your holiday parties I have a busy week ahead as well
Wendy says
Yeah, I didn’t get any pictures of my actual yoga either. Is it cheating to take one during my run? LOL
Nice week for you!
Deborah Brooks says
nope I don’t think so! 🙂
angela @ happy fit mama says
A solid week of workouts! Our girls on the run 5k was Saturday too. Originally it was supposed to be 2 weeks ago but we had too much snow the day before. Yesterday was a great day for it!
Deborah Brooks says
Oh good I am glad you were able to reschedule it. We had a great time today. Always warms my heart to see them cross the finish line with big smiles on their faces
Coco says
Congrats on another great GOTR season! Yesterday was perfect for hot yoga, but I spent it wrestling with our tree and on unsuccessful errands. Those Aftershokz look cool!
Deborah Brooks says
It was a great morning with the girls! I have tons of errands on my list for tomorrow too. Aftershokz coming your way this week 🙂
Kimberly Hatting says
I just love reading about all your work with the GOTR! It is so inspiring seeing other runners giving back and paying it forward 😉
Deborah Brooks says
thanks I truly love coaching them!
Becca | Rabbit Food Runner says
I’m in shock it’s December already too! I hope the wind died down for the GOTR 5k
Deborah Brooks says
Yes it did and the drizzle stopped as well. Turned out to be a great day all around
Laurie says
You have a busy month of November. Lots going on. I admire all the training you get done in a week. Can’t wait to read about your GOTR!
Deborah Brooks says
I have the craziest week coming up! My workouts keep me sane for sure
Kim G says
Awesome job on your workouts this week! I enjoyed seeing all the photos from the GOTR 5K today as well 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! They make me so happy
Cari says
Those star tights & your coffee/cardio tank. Love
Hope the Girls on the Run event went well – such a great cause. I may have said that last week. It’s blurring as I play catch up
Deborah Brooks says
yes it was fantastic today thanks so much
Lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
Hopefully you will have good weather for your Race on Sunday. Cute tights!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes hope so thanks
Lesley says
This coming Saturday my family is seeing the Colorado Ballet do the Nutcracker. I haven’t seen the ballet since I was in middle school.
Deborah Brooks says
OH that’s fun! both of my niece’s are performing in a Nutcracker performance next week everyone loves it
Marcia says
Wow you traveled a ton in November! I’m envious of your hot yoga. I need to get my rear in gear and get to a studio. Your GOTR race is so late in the year. Here they’re in May and September. This weekend would’ve been horrendous for racing as it never stopped pouring.
Deborah Brooks says
I really enjoy the hot yoga in the winter time. I find it’s perfect after a cold run and a I get a great stretch. Yes our GOTR season starts in Sept and goes through this week. WE really lucked out with the weather it was pouring all night before.
Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
The wind was crazy this week! I think thats my least favorite part of winter. Hope your GOTR 5k went well!
Deborah Brooks says
It really was a crazy weather week this week looks much better. Yes it was a great day for the girls
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
Yes, it happened if you don’t take a photo. I have to admit that’s another one that rubs me the wrong way — where did that idea come from anyway? And I know you are coming from a good place. 🙂
I’ve been catching up on tv shows walking on the treadmill too! Much easier than donning all the layers and freezing my butt off. 🙂
You DID have a busy November — I’m sure December isn’t much better.
Deborah Brooks says
This week is super crazy for us and I think next week I can relax a bit. Hope you have a great week
HoHo Runs says
I had a hard time just seeing the Aftershokz in your photo. I’m interesting in hearing what you thought about them. I’m very serious about how my music sounds while running. Would you believe I’ve seen our youngest son MORE since he went off to college? Before he left, he was always with the girlfriend. Now he comes home and stays here for visits. It’s been great! Thanks for linking!
Deborah Brooks says
I need to test out the Aftershokz a few more times and then I will tell all! That’s nice that you get to see your son more. I do face time with my daughter almost everyday so that’s nice
chaitali says
Sounds like a great week! I look forward to hearing what you think of the aftershokz. I’ve been loving mine for the most part but I have a hard time wearing them with an ear band for Winter! I hadn’t even thought of that before.
Deborah Brooks says
I have to try them with an earband or hat and see how that goes!
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
I can’t wait to hear how your girls did at their race. Congrats on another great season!
Deborah Brooks says
Turned out to be a great day!
Nicole @ Foodie Loves Fitness says
Hope you’re having a great Hanukkah!
I like catching up on shows while getting cardio in too. Lately I’ve been cycling while Netflixing it up with Orange is the New Black.. makes my workout speed by!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks and yes watching fun tv shows is a great way to get your cardio to fly by!
