I’m linking up again today with the Fabulous DC Trifecta Courtney, Mar & Cynthia.
This week’s theme 5 workouts from this week
Sunday I went out for a nice 6 mile run with my MRTT group. I truly look forward to and love my runs with them! Even if I am tired or not in the mood, I always find energy once I get chatting with them.
Monday-I warm up for 30 min on the elliptical and then saw my trainer for an hour of weights & abs. Always a hard workout. He really motivates me to push past my comfort zone. Didn’t get a good pic but we used this:
Wednesday is one of my favorite workout days! I do an hour and half of kick boxing and weights with my trainer. It’s such a hard workout and I love the feeling of dripping with sweat afterwards. I have a hard time pushing myself to the point that he can push me. This week we hit some rope exercises afterwards. I seriously thought my arms were going to fall off.
Thursday– I ran with my MRTT group again today. Love these ladies! It got pretty hot out there but they keep me going. We have lots of fun trying to take selfies before each run-goofy I know
Thursday night once a month our group joins in with the Road Runner Sports Run Like A Girl series. Despite the rainy weather, we had a great turnout last night. Recovery drinks Mad Fox brewery- Fun!
A Mizuno Rep was on hand tonight to let us test out the Sayonara 2 on our run-what a fun treat!
Friday– Today is a workout at home day with 45 min on the elliptical followed by a “6 minute 6 pack” quick abs routine and a stretch. This Mother Runner is off to the Nordstrom sale today. A girl’s gotta look cute for all of these photo shoots!
What was your favorite workout this week?
I really miss working out with a trainer. I just love the motivation of it and the performance-aspect of having some one sit there tell you what to do, and pushing you. And watching you like a hawk, lol.
I’m HOPING my favorite workout of the week will be happening tomorrow with my long run, but we shall see!
Yes he is a great motivator and doesn’t care if you’re not in the mood! Good luck with the long run. Happy Friday
I really love working out with my trainer too – holds me accountable and pushes me in a healthy way (otherwise I would prob go at it 80%). Ooooh Nordstroms Anniversary Sale… must.go.online 🙂
Yes same for me with the trainer. Yes online Nordstrom shopping works too!
my fave workout this week was my 5km lunchtime run. its the first time I put my running shoes on at work and ran around the neighbourhood here. It was a nice way to clear my head and made me work harder for the last part of the day! X
That’s great that you can get out and sweat it out during lunch. Thanks for stopping by have a great weekend!
Looks like you had a full and fun week.
I did! It was fun. Happy Friday
OMG. I NEED that tank top. Look Human, I’m guessing? Need. NEED.
I’m finding my favorite thing about running with a group is having people to recover with – I always get the runger and it’s way more satisfying to chow down post-run with other people who just went through the same hell- I mean, enjoyable sporting activity as I did. I hadn’t heard of Road Runner Sports’ running groups – learn something new about this area every day.
Yes I just ordered it! LOL Yes always fun to hang with the group post run too! Glad you have a group of friends to run and hang with too. Makes all the difference
Deborah, I DEFINITELY believe that sweating while you shop counts as exercise; love that you including that picture! Your group looks super-fun and it’s so nice to see that you all hang out together after your run; running folks are my family. 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend!
It absolutely counts-I had some seriously heavy bags to carry today!! I love my group!
i love your pics — what a fun week. running with buddies is the absolute best! my husband is about to start training for a marathon and i want to find a run group for him!
He might have to start one of his own! I love my girls
OMG! I need that selfie shirt! Hysterical 🙂
haha I just ordered it! Don’t know if I will ever wear it
kickboxing! fun! I did a chest, shoulder, and bi workout today that was killer. I’ve also been loving HIIT runs on the treadmill!
Great photos! Looks like a lot of great runs with fun people. I especially love the recovery drinks at Mad Fox Brewery – – that’s my kind of recovery 😉
Ha we don’t do it that often but it was fun! Happy Friday
That selfies tank is pure gold! Love it! Hahaha!
Everyone loves it! I just ordered it-look out for more selfies. Have a great weekend
I love that tank!
It seems to be popular! I will have to get some selfies while I’m wearing it!
Oh, I’m so jealous of the Sayonara 2 try-outs! What did you think?
They are very different than my Asics Kayanos and prob not enough stability for me. It was fun to try them out though
WE have a run group that meets here on Wednesday evenings at one of my favorite wine bars- I look forward to it every week! The rain has been brutal here so if I have to miss it I am really bummed. WE did get in a quick couple miles this week then a nice glass of wine! You had a very busy week!
I did have a busy week! It’s always fun when you can combine running and socializing right?!
I just started running with a group on my Sunday morning runs and it is such a nice change from having to run by myself. Knowing someone else is waiting for me and counting on me to show up than I know I have no excuses and have to get up and going on sunday mornings!!
Absolutely that’s the best part!! Have a great run with them tomorrow morning 🙂
Looks like a great week! Is all of that gym equipment in your house or do you go to a gym with your trainer?
I have a gym in my basement that I’ve built up over the years. It’s really great and convenient so I don’t have any excuses
Lol… I love the shirt with the saying about selfies! And I agree with the pushing yourself thing, I can never push myself as hard as other people do.
I love it too!
This week it was my unexpected mud run!
Ha I just had one of those too!
My favorite workout from last week was my SOLO trail run. 🙂
Every once in a while it is nice to go out on your own isn’t it?
I am on vacation this week and the resort where I am has lots of LesMills classes. Can’t wait to try them. also did a step class… which I had avoided for years as my coordination has worsened with age, but I made it through and did just fine !
Les Mills classes are always fun have a great vacay!
