Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. This week I’m celebrating being around family, friends and having a full heart. I am happiest when my kids are back home and so appreciate the time together.

Family, Friends & a Full Heart Weekly Run Down

Sunday-3 mile power walk

I was in recovery mode after last night’s birthday bash. After cleaning up, I met a friend for a nice weighted vest walk in the hood. Family and friends mode this week.

Weekly run down

Monday-full body strength + core + afternoon walk

I was shuttling my son to and from a doctor appointment all morning. Don’t worry I got my workout done and even had a short outdoor walk before it got dark. 

Tuesday-3+ mile run + core + barre

I was happy to be back out with my squad today after a busy few days. It was nice and mild too!

Wednesday-3 mile power walk + full body strength

It was unusually warm this morning and I took my walk outside with my weighted vest before returning home to do my strength training. I shared one of my favorite full body moves on IG. Do you do these weighted marches as part of your workouts? Later met my mom for a coffee date.

Thursday-power walk +full body strength 

Oops why yes, I did sleep through my morning run group. That did not stop me from getting in a great workout. First up a brisk weighted vest walk followed by a bonus full body strength day.

Weekly run down

Later, I met up with a friend who was in town for the day. I love the kind of friendships where you can just pick up right where you left off! We were so busy chatting, we forgot a photo.

Friday- core + plates and barre 

An active recovery sort of day. I visited a friend who just had surgery and the micro burst of snow kept us from a walk outside. All good tomorrow is another day.

Saturday-power walk + upper body strength

I had a great hilly power walk with my weighted vest followed by a quick upper body strength session. My daughter is flying in this afternoon and I can’t wait for lots of family time this week!

Wishing you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving week!

    Family time is the best!!! I also have everyone home this week- so happy.
    Those weighted marches are in some of my core workouts. I haven’t been able to do the full workouts because of my ribs, but I’m thinking I could at least do the weighted marches now. Thanks for reminding me- they really are great.
    I hope you have a wonderful week with your family and friends!!!!
