Happy Sunday!
This week had me flying home from wine country, working a couple of days, and then back on a plane, this time Philly-bound! My usual workout routine has been taking a hit, but I’ve been fitting in what I can where I can. Here’s a quick peek at how the week played out.
Week 46 – On the Road Again
Monday — 2.5-mile walk, yoga, Planksgiving day 14. It was nice to get a little workout in before the long flight home from California.
Tuesday — Planking, overwise rest. After arriving late Monday night, I was up and out early to commute to the office and followed a busy workday with a “goodbye” drinks staff gathering.
Wednesday — Flash 15 Strength, Planking, and Stretch. It’s rare that I have back-to-back days of commuting, but I was back in the office again. I love these Flash 15 classes on the Peloton app – Jess Sims really packs a lot into those 15 minutes – perfect for when I’m short on time!
Thursday — 3-mile run, Core (with planking), and Stretch. While I didn’t have to commute, my day started with an early board meeting Zoom call so I had planned a lunchtime run. Schedules collided and by the time I was free to run it was dark out. I had no motivation to run in the dark so it was a treadmill run.
Friday — 3.25-mile walk, Planking & Stretch. My husband J and I did a short walk after we arrived in Philly, then hit the expo and called it a day.
Saturday — Philly 8K! Had so much fun out there – recap to come.
Sunday — The marathon route goes right past our hotel so we’re planning to get out early to spectate before heading to the airport.
It was a chaotic but fun week! And, now I’m looking forward to the Thanksgiving week and things settling down a little.
How was your week?
In case you missed it:
Western Mass 10 Mile Race Recap
I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down.
How awesome you had a great race in Philly! Congrats! I bet you’re glad the race isn’t today. It’s brutal here today!
Sounds like the vacay did a lot of good.
Thank you Judy! It was windy yesterday, but today was really rough. I felt for those marathoners!
Glad your race was good and I’ll look forward to the recap. I had a weird week, back from holiday, the cats were unwell, sorted out a cat-sitter for next time we’re away, had a load of work and LOADS of washing to do and totally missed my flu jab appointment (I’ve rescheduled). Oh, and a bit of running … Hope this week is quieter for you!

Sounds like you had a hectic week! I hope this week is quieter for you too 🙂
The Philly course is great hope you both had a fun time out there! Looking forward to the recap
We did have fun out there!
I’m glad the 8K went well — looking forward to the full recap.
Those Flash 15 classes are a full workout — great when you are crunched for time or just want to get it done.
I was doing FLash 15s fairly consistently for a bit and then somehow fell off. Definitely a full workout!
Your California vacation sounded amazing and I know it had to be hard to get back to reality! Congrats to you and your hubby on the Philly 8K!
Happy Thanksgiving!

The California trip was perfection – returning back to work was hard for sure.
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving 🙂
Happy to hear that you are racing again and that it was fun.
My race was not. Thanks the weather.
And I quit planking after 12 days.
Ugh sorry the race was less than ideal. It was cold and windy for part of the 8K but today’s conditions were worse!
What a fun week you’ve had! Wasn’t it hard to come home from Cali? I sure love it out there. Great job on your 8k!
Thanks Wendy!
It was so hard to come home from Cali – Sonoma was just beautiful and such a great vibe. I can’t wait to go back!
Congratulations! Sounds like a pretty crazy week. I’m looking forward to the race recap. Oh, and also congrats on being consistent with Planksgiving!
Thank you Jenny. It was definitely a little all over the place for a race week but I wouldn’t have changed a thing. That being said, I’m really looking forward to things quieting down a bit.
I need to do more of the Flash 15 classes…somehow, they never seem to catch my attention when I’m setting up my stacks (usually as I’m about to turn-in for the night, LOL). Soudns like you and the hubby had a great time on both your trips! I’m excited to hear more about Philly!
We really did have two great trips…and now I’m exhausted lol 😉
Those Flash 15s are especially good when you’re short on time! I love how much Jess can pack into those classes.
Sounds like a whirlwind week Michelle! Glad to hear you enjoyed Philly! Can’t wait to hear more!
Thanks Marcia – I’m looking forward to being home for a while!
Such a busy, but fun week for you! I love running races in Philly but I have never done any of the races on Philly Marathon weekend. Glad to hear that you and your husband had a great race!
Thank you Kim. It’s been a few years since I’ve run a race in Philly – it was fun to get back there!
So much fun! I had a crazy week, but it came crashing to a halt with some physiological issues. No fun for me.
Love that you got to go from wine to a big race like that. So fun!
Sorry about the challenges – hope you’re feeling better!
Congrats on the 8k! What a whirlwind you’ve had lately, but all fun stuff 🙂
Thanks Jessie – it’s been fun!
