On the Road Again

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?

  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. The Philly course is great hope you both had a fun time out there! Looking forward to the recap

  4. 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.

  5. 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!

  6. 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.

  7. 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!

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Sounds like a whirlwind week Michelle! Glad to hear you enjoyed Philly! Can’t wait to hear more!

  11. 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!

  12. 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!

  13. Congrats on the 8k! What a whirlwind you’ve had lately, but all fun stuff 🙂
