Checking in on this very very steamy Sunday. How is everyone holding up? There’s no doubt that we are in the thick of summer weather now, am I right? I still don’t think I’ve cooled down from this morning’s run!
This week was the wrap up of the Great Run Across Massachusetts and the first week of Pelothon 2020, which definitely helped to keep me on track. Here’s how the week went down…
Monday — Strength Training. I took care of three of the six instructors on Day 1 with 10 min Strength for Runners with Matt, 10 min Arm Toning with Jenn, and 10 min Core and 5 min Full Body Stretch with Emma. Emma also leads the Crush Your Core Program I started last week, so it’s nice that I can double-dip here.
Tuesday — Stretch & Core. This was a crazy long day at work as I was trying to wrap up a bunch of things before taking a few days off. Normally I would have opted for yoga, but there isn’t a yoga instructor on the #BreakthroughCrew so I stacked a couple of stretch classes along with my core workout.
Wednesday — 3-mile run & Core. I tried one of Chase’s outdoor runs which I really enjoyed. And, later I found out Peloton featured me on their website.
Thursday — Strength Training. 15 min Bodyweight Strength with Adrian, 10 Arm Toning with Kendall, and more core work with Emma. This was my favorite combo of the week and I snagged my last instructor so Week 1 was done!
Friday — 3-mile run & Core. Pouring rain sent me to the treadmill, but Chase’s Hip Hop Fun Run helped to quickly pass the time. Emma’s 10 min core workout was challenging!
Saturday — Rest day.
Sunday — 3-mile run & Core. Can we just all agree that 81% humidity is just wrong?!
I really enjoyed the mix of Peloton workouts this week! Additionally, my family wrapped up our out and back run across Massachusetts and all received our t-shirts and medals
This shirt is so soft and a great cut!
It was so so nice to have some days off this week! It gave me a chance to meet up with friends for some outdoor dining, to read & relax, and generally just enjoy some time away from my computer. Another bonus for this week was getting back to my massage therapist! Her daycare is open again so she’s back to seeing clients – boy did I miss her!
For the week ahead, I’m looking forward to trying some of Peloton’s live classes as part of Week 2’s challenge.
How was your week? Tell me something you’re looking forward to.
I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down.
Fantastic job crushing week one of the challenge! It’s been a fun one. Stay cool out there this week. Thanks for linking up
It has been fun – looking forward to the next 3 weeks of the challenge!
I’m jealous of the outdoor dining and massage! How great! Our weather was rough last week and looks like it will be steamy this week too. I think I’ll be walking Scooby and running on the treadmill. Congrats on finishing the relay!
Forgot to comment on being featured on the Peloton page — that’s fantastic!
Thanks Coco – it was a fun surprise 🙂
It was a nice treat to be out with friends again – thankfully the weather cooperated, though it’s a steamy mess now.
Congrats on completing the Great Run Across Massachusetts! Both the shirt and medal look super cute.
You rocked week 1 of the Pelothon 2020 challenge too!
Thanks Kim!
I’m enjoying my state’s challenge right now. It’s the perimeter of the state, and it lasts for an entire year. But I’m already 30% of the way there and I think I’ll be done by Christmas, and it’s just a fun goal to chip away at. I am so ready for the summer heat to move on out of here!

Oh I’m with you on that – I’m so over this summer heat!
Great job, all of you, on the run across Massachusetts! My shirt (from the Iowa run) came really early, and my medal arrived a week ago or so. I have passed my “required” distance, but am hoping to crank out some more running miles by the official deadline of August 10th. Your shirt looks very similar to mine LOL Also, great job on all your Peloton work, and congrats on being featured!!

Oh that’s funny about the shirt!
The Peloton challenge has been fun and I got a kick out of the shoutout 🙂
Congrats on your run across Massachusetts! I ran ‘across’ Illnois and got a nice shirt too. No medal, tho, that was extra. I’m ok with it.
The Pelothon looks fun and I’m having the FOMO! How cool that they featured you!
I’m loving all of the different challenges – in the absence of races, it’s helping to keep things interesting.
Way to go on the Run Across MA as well as the kickoff of Pelothon! How fun to be featured on their site!
Thanks Marcia – all of these challenges have been fun 🙂
Nice to have some time off, isn’t it?
We have been dining outside as well whenever we meet people.
Enjoy the massage!
Brilliant work and love your Mass. medal! It’s so not summer here, 48 when I went out this morning and I wore long tights!! I’m looking forward to … hm … some good sleep!
Great job on Pelothon 2020 and how awesome you were featured on their website. I am also liking the challenge. I took one live class this morning and am looking forward to my next one. Of course I plan to do other ones too. I have been missing out!
Congrats on completing your state challenge. I upped mine to 1000k..still trucking along
And that is cool being featured on the Peleton website. I did not renew my subscription. Maybe if the gyms ever open so I could use the wifi and do it on the bike and mill.
I am looking forward to a day off. I have THREE Mondays scheduled.
Hmm. This week & next are actually kinda of busy for me. But I did watch a bit of Hamilton on my ipad today (again!) when I took a break.
Nice job snagging all those instructors so quickly!
I’ll bet that massage felt awesome. Can’t remember the last time I had a real massage.
I need a massage!! My cousin is thinking of having her 40th celebration at a spa – and if she does, I’m booking a message! Well done on a solid week of workouts. Glad you enjoyed all the variety!
Ha, I totally agree, you run, shower and still can’t cool down in this weather! It’s insane…Great work getting it so much fitness this week!
Good job on the workouts this week. How exciting that you were on the Peloton page! I like that race shirt. I’m a sucker for anything heather grey!

Thanks Lisa 🙂
What a great week for you! Lots of variety and fun!
I am looking forward to overhauling our office (as soon as I finish my work) and possibly to a mountain cabin trip in a few months. That’s about it.
Oh that cabin trip sounds nice!
