We made it! I swear these past 28 days felt l-o-n-g! As I recently runfessed, I am winter-weary and oh so ready to put this month and all of the snow and ice that came with it in the rearview mirror.

So before I declare February a wrap – I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down. Here’s how the last week of the month played out.

Weekly Run Down Week 8

Monday — 3 miles, 10 min core, and 10 min stretch. Mother Nature was not playing nice so that meant more time on the mill.
Tuesday — 20 min ride plus 5 min cooldown ride, 20 min core, and 10 min stretch. I’m not even sure why but this was one of those days where everything felt hard, as evidenced by my post-workout selfie from the floor!

Wednesday — 4 miles, 10 min core, and a stretch. What a difference a day makes! Mother Nature served up 50 degrees and sunshine, and my run felt effortless!

Thursday — 3 miles, 10 min core, and 10 min stretch. Everything that started to melt the day before froze overnight, so it was back to the mill again.

Friday — 3 miles, 20 min core, 30 min ride. Matty’s core class was just 20 minutes of evil, but the soundtrack of Cody’s BHM Celebration ride was oh so good!

Saturday — 2 miles, 20 min ride plus 5 min cooldown ride, 10 min core, and 10 min stretch.

Sunday — 4 miles, 10 min core, and 10 min stretch. I took advantage of a break between rainstorms to get outside for some miles this morning. I love how peaceful Sunday mornings can be.

This week was heavy on short runs, and light on strength training – not really planned, just went with how I was feeling.

Despite keeping my runs short throughout the month, I manage to hit my goal of 50 miles. And, with today’s workout, the enCore 28 daily core challenge is now complete. I’m still undecided on my goals for March so I’ll share them later.

How was your February?

Sharing Some February Runfessions

Another week of frigid temps, snow, and ice…it is February after all. While I was indoors far more than I would have liked, I am very grateful to have both a treadmill and Peloton bike at the ready. Here’s a quick look at my week in workouts…

View from my Sunday run

Monday — Peloton 20 min Ride, Arms & Shoulders, Core, and Stretch.

Tuesday — 20 min Core, Strength for Runners, Stretch…and there was shoveling. The Miley Cirus soundtrack made this core class extra challenging – if it weren’t for the fact that it was part of the enCore28 Challenge I would have taken a pass.
Wednesday — 10-min core class, otherwise a rest day.
Thursday — 3 miles on the mill and 10-min core.
Friday — 3 miles on the mill, 20-min core, and full-body stretch. To break up the monotony of another mill run, I split the run in two with the core session in between.

Saturday — Peloton 30-min Ride, 10-min core, and 10-min stretch. Added bonus of some extra time on the bike catching up with some blogger friends via Zoom.

Catching up with Coco, Deb, Kim, Renee, and Kim!

Sunday — 3 miles earlier, plus 10-min core class, and I’m still planning some time on my yoga mat post-coffee. I was happy to log some outdoor miles! Even though it was cold and gray, it was peaceful.

We were clearly spoiled by a mild January, but I’m doing my best to not complain and just take it all in stride. Based on the forecast for the week ahead it looks like I’ll need to continue to embrace the indoor workouts. On the plus side, I have Monday off for Presidents’ Day and a much, much-needed massage scheduled for Wednesday!

How’s the weather where you are? Are you still getting outdoors or taking your workouts inside?

Mother Nature gave us a run for our money this past week with a heavy dose of winter weather, so this week was all about working around the snow and ice. Here’s a quick peek at my week.

Monday — 3-mile run, day 1 of the enCore28 challenge (10 min core) and 10 min stretch class.
Tuesday — 20-min Peloton ride, 20-min core, and 10-min stretch. And, there was shoveling.
Wednesday — Day 3 of the core challenge with a 10-min core class, otherwise a rest day.
Thursday — 20-min Peloton ride, 10-min core, 10-min strength, and 10-min stretch. I had a run planned, but thanks to frigid temps the streets were just too icy. This stack of classes was a great alternative and my favorite workout of the week!

Friday — 3 miles on the mill and 15-min core. An episode of The Home Edit helped to pass the time. I’m so thankful we finally installed a small TV above the treadmill!
Saturday — 4 miles, 10-min core, and 10-min stretch. It was a bit warmer than it had been the past couple of days so I was determined to run outdoors. I definitely found some patches of black ice along the way but managed to stay upright. (Maybe the core work is paying off?)
Sunday — Right now coffee but I plan on a 30-min ride, core, either a short stretch or yoga class later.

Another snowstorm is heading this way today and there’s more snow and freezing rain in the forecast for later this week, so it looks like I’ll be spending some quality time on the mill…or riding a lot more.

So how was your week?
