Seriously how is it Sunday again? This week went by in a blur – I was crazy busy workwise but got a lot accomplished so I’m not complaining. Things are going to be pretty crazy until I get through a couple of big events in October so I’m just rolling with it.
Of course, working out provides some much-needed stress release. Here’s how this week played out.
Week 37 – Just Rolling With It
Monday — Flash 15 and 1.5-mile walk. These Peloton’s Flash 15 workouts are a great full-body strength workout, especially when you’re tight on time. I followed it up with a 1.5-mile power walk to keep my #OptOutside streak going. After work, I went for my 3rd acupuncture treatment for my TFL/quad.
Tuesday — 1.5-mile walk, otherwise rest.
Wednesday — 3.1-mile run, Core, & Stretch. Caught this beautiful start to the morning as I wrapped up my run.
Thursday — 2.4-mile walk & Yoga.
Friday — 3.2-mile run with strides & Stretch. Temps were in the upper 40s and this fall-loving runner was happy to break out the long sleeves!
Saturday — Upper Body Strength, Core & 2-mile walk
Sunday — 6 mile run & Stretch. I woke up feeling less than stellar so I was pleasantly surprised when everything just clicked on this run.
The acupuncturist was pleased with my reported progress of pain-free runs, so we’re going to hold off from another session this upcoming week and see how things feel. After a week off from lower body strength work, I’m going to try to re-introduce some short sessions this week.
League of Garmin
In other news, I’m happy to announce that I have been selected as a member of the League of Garmin. Always fun to rep a brand I’ve been running with since day 1!
In case you missed it
How was your week? Any signs of fall where you are?
As always, I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down.
I broke out the long sleeves today! A weird rather tight and thin cycling top I like for transition season days like today. Weird bum pockets I never use, though! Well done on your Garmin thing and love that sunset pic.

I love long sleeves and shorts weather – it was short-lived though as the warmer temps returned today.
Congrats on your deal with Garmin! I have considered a Coros, but am still a Garmin gal…
That fall morning sounds lovely!
Thanks Jessie 🙂
I am so jealous of that long sleeved running weather! Can you send it my way, please? Those runs where everything just clicks are such a gift!
Sadly the long sleeves weather has retreated…at least for the moment. Hoping it returns this week.
Glad to hear the acupuncture is working! A six mile pain free run is a great thing. Glad you’re getting some nice fall weather- it’s still hot AF here.
So far so good with the acupuncture! Keeping my fingers crossed that it lasts.
I’m so glad to see you have had some nice runs since starting the acupuncture!! It’s about time!
Congrats on the League of Garmin! I’m a loyal Garmin user. I’m getting a new Apple Watch but I’ll still use my Garmin for running.
Thanks Wendy – it feels really good to be in this space and hopefully acupuncture can keep me going 🙂
I use Garmin too so congrats, I just ever remember to apply for things like that.
It seems like your running is going well. Happy to hear that. Hooray for accupuncture!
Hooray indeed! Thanks Darlene!
This week definitely feel like it went by quickly, and then of course the weekend was gone in the blink of an eye – sigh.
Congrats on joining League of Garmin – that’s amazing!
Thanks Kim!
And, yes, this weekend went by way too fast!
We had some cool weather, but not long-sleeves yet.
So glad you are feeling good and had such a great run!
Thanks so much Coco 🙂
Congrats on the Garmin gig!! I wore long sleeves for my early walk this morning, but it quickly warmed up by the time I headed back out for a second walk ( while chatting with a college friend). By the time I went for a late afternoon bike ride, it was a good 25-degrees warmer and MUCH more humid.
Thank you Kim! The long-sleeve weather didn’t stick around long enough, but it looks like it’s heading back this way later this week. You know that makes me so happy 😉
I am so jealous of your fall. There are zero signs of it here. We are in the midst of hurricane season, so lots of rain and low pressure. Yuck. Yay for painfree runs! And congrats on League of Garmin!
Ugh to all the rain 🙁
Pain-free running is everything!
After a few warmer days, we seem to be settling back into more Fall like temps just in time for Fall. I love it!
That’s awesome that your runs have been going so well.
Congrats on repping Garmin! I’ve been using them since I had a GPS watch (which wasn’t from day 1, but I’ve stuck with them from day 1 of having a GPS watch).
Thank you Judy 🙂
Yay on Garmin!! I’m a big fan of their products too, especially now that I have an Edge bike computer too! I haven’t had any runs in the 40s yet, but 55 felt pretty great this morning for sure.
Thanks Lisa – being a part of the Garmin team should be fun!
