I’m squeezing all the goodness I can into this last weekend together as a family. We’re in the crunch of prepping to move my son into school while packing in as much family fun as possible. The work week continues to be busy and so the goal was just to fit workouts in where I could.
Here’s a quick peak into my week in fitness. As always, I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down.
Week 33 – Keeping it Simple
Monday — Flash 15, Core, & 2-mile walk. I was inspired by Kim to return to a Flash 15 (Peloton) workout – these are great (and intense) 15-minute full-body workouts with instructor Jess Sims. Jess programs quite a bit in a short period of time – stacked with a core workout and power walk – perfect for a busy Monday!
Tuesday — Rest day. I had an uber-early start to the work day with a long commute on both ends so a rest day was a good thing.
Wednesday — 3 miles & Stretch. Everything clicked on this run and it turned into a much speedier run than I had planned. My only complaint was not having enough time to run further.
Thursday — 2.5-mile walk, Lower Body Strength, and Hip Mobility work. My legs were jelly after this workout and the sports massage I had scheduled after work was a nice reward.
Friday — 3 miles, Core & Stretch. The massage did the trick – my legs felt fresh and this was another solid run.
Saturday — Peloton Bike, Upper Body, Core & Stretch. Peloton dropped 160 new classes for their All for One music festival which started on Friday. I stacked a bunch for today’s workout and look forward to taking more and checking out some new-to-me artists over the coming weeks.
Sunday — On the plan this morning 5 miles then some family fun!
Running continues to be pain-free so that’s a big win! After some mild temps earlier in the week, summer’s heat and humidity came back in full swing by the weekend and looks to be sticking around for much of the upcoming week. I never want to wish the days away so I’m trying not to complain – emphasis on trying LOL!
How was your week? Are you ready for fall?
Well, I am not ready for Fall because I know what happens next, LOL. This past week felt more like Fall than Summer, at least with the cool mornings. I’m looking forward to trying some of the AFO classes…I’m craving some variety (I just finished Tunde’s 4-week Arm class and Matty’s 5-week core challenge).
Nice work getting those two programs done! I still want to take Tunde’s Arms classes at some point.
Well, I am not looking forward to the return of heat and humidity either this week. Can’t wait to try all the new classes this week too. Good luck w college move in!
I’ve had my fill of the heat and humidity this summer! Not happy that this weather has returned but fall is comng!
Good luck with the college move in! I’m not ready for fall yet…summer was much too short.
Glad your runs are feeling good!
Thanks Jessie!
Oh, that college move-in is an event!!! Good luck with everything. Glad running is continuing pain free. Enjoy your family time before your son leaves!
It is an event! 🙂 Going to soak up every moment before he leaves.
I definitely hear you on the current heat & humidity but so far it’s not quite as bad as earlier in August. Thank goodness for small things!
Pain free running is absolutely the best!
It IS the best! Hoping it stays this way.
I’m with you on squeezing the most out of what we have left of summer! It’s been a good one, for sure!

Enjoy these final weeks!
Yay for pain-free running and soaking up family time! And a massage! I need to find a new massage place. The place I used to go hasn’t reopened since covid.
I was so happy when my massage therapist re-opened her place.
Pain free running is always a good thing!
I’m sure you probably want to curse me out when you are doing the Flash 15 classes, lol.
LOL – I haven’t done one of the Flash classes in a while and must have blocked out just how challenging they can be 😉
Our weather is supposed to take a turn toward the heat as well. The cooler temps were nice while they lasted. Enjoy your final week together as a family before it’s back to the grind of the school year!
Thanks Marcia trying to make the most of these last couple of days!
I wish I had Peloton, I’ve heard so many great things about their workouts. Way to get it all squeezed in during a hectic week. And yeah, on the pain-free running.

Thanks Michele. I really do enjoy the Peloton app – so many great workout options.
I am so ready for fall.
I hope the college move-in went smoothly.
