Christmas Week Run Down

This week was a blur and just like Christmas 2021 is in the books! Christmas Eve and Day were filled with food, family, and laughter and I am so ready to enjoy having the week ahead off from work.

As always, I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down – here’s a quick peek at the week that was.

Weekly Run Down – Week 51

Monday — Upper Body Strength, Core, Day 8 of the #12DaysofFitmas, & Stretch.

Tuesday — 3-mile run & Fitmas Day 9. The plan had been to enjoy the milder temps during an afternoon run. But, as they say, ish happens and this run didn’t happen until after dark. Thankful for having a treadmill as an option…though I still think ‘mill miles should count for double!

Wednesday — Fitmas Day 10, Peloton Bike, Core & Stretch.

Thursday –– 4-mile run, Fitmas Day 11 & Stretch.

Friday — Yoga & the final day of Fitmas.

Saturday — 4-mile run & Stretch. Icy rain had me back on the mill, but always so happy to move virtually with this wonderful group of women!

A huge thank you to Kim for this fun collage!

Sunday — 3-mile walk & TBD. My husband J and I got out for our usual Sunday walk and right now I’m all about lingering over my coffee. Some football and board games are definitely in the plans…whether there will be additional movement remains to be seen.

Tell me something about your week.

Week 49 – Tis The Season of Busyness

The “busyness” of the season hit full stride this week! No complaints – all good stuff happening! Suffice it to say the days have been full, but the workouts did happen.

Here’s a quick look at my week in workouts.

Weekly Run Down – Week 49

Monday — Peloton Bike, Lower Body Strength, Core, & Foam Rolling. Started the week with a focus on the legs. I hadn’t taken one of Emma’s cycle classes in a while, and this was a great warm-up before the strength classes. This ride was part of Peloton’s new series of “Stacking Stuffer” classes – short classes for the busy holiday season.

Tuesday – 1.5-mile walk & Yoga

Wednesday – 4-mile run, Core, & Stretch. I had an extra early start to the workday but was able to slip in a midday run ahead of the forecasted snow.

Thursday – 3.2-mile run & Stretch. Busyness dominated the day, but I was determined to carve out some time for a run. I finally hit the mill just before dinner. I took advantage of 2 more of Peloton’s Stacking Stuffer classes combining a progressive run and HIIT run – this really helped to make the mill miles pass quickly

Friday – 3-mile walk

Saturday – 2-mile walk, Upper-Body & Lower-Body Strength, Core, Peloton Bike, & Stretch. A poor night of sleep left me feeling a little off so I moved my run to Sunday. Still managed to get a solid workout done along with a lot of Christmas prep and shopping.

Sunday – 4.25-mile run done. Yoga is planned for later.
