Well, we made it to the first day of Spring and I couldn’t be happier! I celebrated the start of the new season with my longest run in quite a while and I’m pleased to say it was a strong effort! Here’s a quick look at how this week in fitness played out.
Week 11 – Running into Spring
Monday — 3.14 miles & Stretch. Joined Kim in wrapping up the #WeekofPi challenge with one more Pi run to celebrate her birthday! It was a bit frosty, but I finished in the glow of the sunrise.
Tuesday — 2-mile walk & Yoga. I discovered this Hips-focused class on the Peloton app that will definitely be in constant rotation for me.
Wednesday — Peloton Ride, Core & Stretch.
Thursday — 4 miles & Stretch. So much fog – it was like running in a cloud.
A little green glow for St. Paddy’s Day!
Friday — 3 miles, Core & Stretch. 70 degrees and a runch was a perfect way to head into the weekend!
Saturday — Upper Body Strength, 2.5-mile walk & Stretch.
Sunday — 6.25 miles & Yoga for hips. I was not feeling this run at all when I started but I settled in quickly, enjoyed Rebecca’s 90’s Hip Hop playlist, and had a surprisingly strong run – I love when that happens!
In case you missed it:
I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down.
How was your week? What have you got planned for the spring?
70 degrees! Happy spring!
Foggy runs are so cool. You had a variety of weather this week! I need to check out that hip focused class, it sounds amazing!
Let me know if you try the class!
Yay on your strong long run! Maybe the spring weather helped — it sure couldn’t hurt.
Definitely didn’t hurt 🙂
Glad your long run went well! I need to bookmark that hip class, I don’t do a lot of their stretch classes, so I miss a lot of them as they drop. Thanks, again, for Pi’ing with me (numerous times). Much appreciated!!
I’m trying to be more consistent with the stretch classes – I have a bunch bookmarked. Happy to have Pi’ed!
Great news on that long run.
You had a great week.
I’m happy about spring. If only it would stay warm and not go back n forth. So hard to dress.
Dressing right now is a complete guessing game.
Ah, I can just imagine how awesome that run felt. Runs like that are the best!
As you may know, i’m a big Denis Morton fan but I think I’ll check out that yoga hip focus this week. I definitely need it!
There are a couple of hip focus flow classes I’ve bookmarked to check out.
It’s so nice to see you hitting more miles! I know last year was rough for you. The foggy run looks fun–I always love those. As long as it isn’t freezing fog, that is…
Thanks Wendy! Hopefully, I can keep building the mileage again.
Look at all your gorgeous runs! The weather looks just perfect!
This was a week for sure. I didn’t have the Spring break I wanted, but that’s ok. Maybe next year.
The weather definitely got better as the week went on. I’m sorry spring break didn’t pan out so well.
I love it when that happens on a run too! Congrats in getting your longer runs back. The weather this past week was so much nicer, Thanks for the reminder to keep up the hips classes this week
Thanks, Deborah – I’m looking forward to increasing my distances.
I need to look at that hip class, too! You’ll have us all doing it! Glad you had some good weather, if a bit variable at times. I had some nice runs last week, had to use them to keep me balanced as a good and very vulnerable friend has Covid at the moment and there’s a lot of worry and support going on.
Oh I’m so sorry to hear about your friend!
Great kickoff to spring for you! I have to go find that hip class as well. I think a better range of temperatures helps my runs! Happy Spring!
I agree I think the warmer temps have helped! Go to hear your runs felt good.
Great week of running, Michelle! So happy you had a strong long run — it is definitely a mood booster.
Yoga for hips is always good. 🙂
Yes definitely a mood booster – thanks Judy 🙂
Another great week for you and glad that the weather cooperated for the most part this week.
I did a hips focused class on Saturday night and I was shocked at how tight I was. I really need to do more hips focused classes.
Ha I know what you mean about being shocked! I have a LOT of work to do lol!
Those surprising runs are the best. Congratulations on a long one. Fun to Pi with you and so grateful you found that hips class. So good.
