Another week in the books and things are just rolling along. Here’s a look at my week in workouts.
Picture-perfect weather for Sunday’s run
Weekly Run Down – Week 19
Monday — 30 min Ride, 15 min Upper Body Strength, 5 min Core, and hip stretch
Tuesday — 3-mile run and 10 min Core
Wednesday — Rest day
Thursday — 20 min Ride plus 5 min Cool Down, 20 min Strength for Runners, and full-body stretch
100 Rides!
Friday — 3-mile run and 10 min Core. A rare awakening without the aid of my alarm and I was actually out the door and running by daybreak. I thought my legs would struggle after Thursday’s push on the bike and lower body strength work, but I felt really good!
Saturday — 2.5-mile walk and hours of yard work. DOMS finally caught up with me, but an early powerwalk with my husband helped to loosen things up a bit, then it was off to spectate at my son’s lacrosse game, before spending a couple of hours in the yard weeding and reconfiguring one of my flower beds.
Sunday — 5.2-mile run and 10 min Strength for Runners. The weather was picture-perfect – 50 degrees and a light breeze, my sweet spot. Of late I’ve been loving how much quieter the roads are on a Sunday morning (vs. Saturdays) and will probably keep this as my weekend run day.
The workout highlight of the week was hitting my Century Ride on Thursday. I took my very first bike class with Tunde so it seemed appropriate to take her 20 min 90s Ride for my 100th. Added bonus, I scored a PR and got a shoutout from Tunde herself on my Instagram post! I totally heart her so this really put a smile on my face!
Tell me what was your workout highlight this week?

I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down. Join us!
Congrats on 100 rides! Getting the shoutout from the instructor is pretty exciting.
Sounds like a busy week. I’d love to see your garden!
Thanks! I’ll have to post some photos of the garden once things start to bloom.
Way to go on yourr 100 and getting a shout out is a bonus for sure. Well rounded week for you. I enjoyed our cooler temps this week as well but looks like summer is arriving this week
I just love Tunde so getting her reply was so fun 🙂
We were (virtually) gardening together yesterday. I’ve let the stray grass/weeds go too long, and it was a major jungle in our mail box plot. Unfortunately, I have another raised bed, almost 3x the size, that desperately needs attention as well. Huge congrats on the Century Ride and shoutout!!!
Doesn’t it feel like the weeding is never-ending?! At least it’s a good upper body workout LOL
Nice job on all the gardening. I’ve had a couple of weeding sessions but there’s so much more to go. Congrats on 100 rides!
I really do feel like the weeding sessions are constant!
Yeah for your 100th with Tunde! I’ve taken a few of her classes but have to feel like I’m on top of my game to choose her because I know her classes are tough!
We’ve been watching college lacrosse on TV. I think my husband and son are going to go to one of the finals games in June.
I know what you mean about Tunde – I love her vibe but always know she’s going to kick my butt LOL
College lax has been on the TV non-stop. That’s great that your husband and son are going to one of the finals. We had a blast at the final four games when they were held here!
Awesome job on your workout this week! This weekend was perfect for outdoor running.
Congrats on your century ride and I love that Tunde left a comment on your post! She just radiates positive energy to me – love her 🙂
She does have such a positive vibe – definitely one of my favorites!!
Ha, so many clients are coming in lately (for massage) who are sore from weeding- it’s obviously that time of year!
Congrats on your 100th ride! Sounds like you had some beautiful runs this week as well.
Jenny recently posted…Weekly Rundown- Never Give Up
It still amazes me how sore I can be after a weeding session!
Hmmm. Highlight of last week. Getting to walk by the ocean I guess, it’s been years!
Nice that you got a shout out; congrats!
I’ve been loving this weather for running lately!
Honestly if I could run in this type of weather all year round I would be one happy woman 🙂
Whoo hoo for your 100 and your shoutout! I love that for you! What a boost!
Thanks so much Jenn!!
congrats on your 100 rides! well done!
way to keep things rolling along in general as well.
My favorite workout last week was probably the bike ride the hubs and I did, getting up close and personal with the wild horses <3
Seeing the wild horses up close must have been amazing!
Congrats on your 100th ride! impressive. All the gardening- your plants must look amazing!
50 degrees really is such lovely running weather. Enjoy!
Thanks Jessie! Hopefully, all of this work in the garden will pay off – still a couple of weeks to go before everything’s in bloom.
Well done on your century ride! I had a lovely canal run on Sunday which went longer than anticipated, always fun.
Always nice when a run goes longer than you planned – sign of a good run!
Exciting about the 100th ride and the shoutout! Did you order your shirt yet? I love the material and like it a lot .
I got my Century shirt when I hit my 100 strength class and I agree it has a nice feel!
