Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. This week we headed or New York City for a wedding and some adventure. So, I will be eating and running my way through the big apple. Here’s a peek into my week.
Eating and running my way through the big apple
Monday- Full body strength + core + Peloton cycle
Starting the last week of the summer core challenge with Matty from Peloton. Got in a great full body strength workout and Peloton rides.
Tuesday- Run + core + stretch
Got in a quick run with my squad before heading out to the train station. It’s about a 3 hour ride from DC to NYC. Arrived in time for dinner with some friends.
Wednesday- Hotel workout Cycle + core + stretch
Happy day when you discover a Peloton in your hotel gym. I got in a quick cycle class and core class. Disappointed that the Peloton studio is not open for classes again yet.
Had a nice lunch with our friend Cari. It was great to see her after so long! Spent the next couple of hours strolling up and down 5th Avenue and doing some window shopping.
Thursday- NYC Running tour 10+ miles + tour 9-11 Memorial
I had a blast doing another run tour with City Running Tours over the Brooklyn Bridge and back through Washington Square Park. They have both group and individual tours available. I did a solo run today with a fantastic guide who kept me moving!
I next enjoyed some fabulous NY Pizza and John’s in the village. Definitely eating and running my way through the big apple today! Tomorrow I need to get my hands on a good bagel.
Next, we walked over to the 9-11 memorial to do the tour. Seemed very fitting with the 20th anniversary coming next week. It was a really well done exhibit and very emotional. I did not take any photos. If you are visiting, I highly recommend doing the tour.
Friday- 10 m yoga + 10 min stretch + walking
Giving myself a little recovery from yesterday’s 10+ miles. No real exercise except for short yoga and stretch. We did again log lots of walking miles in between eating again. Ha! We also moved to the hotel in Brooklyn where the wedding is. It’s a new to me area to explore. Looking forward to running in the morning along the water.
Saturday- 4 mile run
A slow and way recovery run with lots of photo stops.
Another afternoon of walking around and eating pizza. We attended a wedding which was the reason we came up to NYC. A really nice time. My feet are not happy in heels anymore!
Sunday-morning walk and stretch
Heading home today after an amazing week IG of eating and running my way through NYC
A wonderful way to explore the city. The photos are very beautiful and pizza looks delicious.
During my trips abroad I have never joined a running tour but I am sure that it’s very interesting. I have always run solo or with some local friend who “illustrated” to me the cities.
Have a safe trip.
It is always fun to do a running tour if you ever have the chance!
Looks like a great time! Its been so long since I’ve gone to NYC. I miss the NY pizza and bagels! So glad you and Cari got to meet up for lunch!
I am definitely getting in my fill of pizza-it is so worth it though
Looks like you had a great time in the big city! Beautiful pics, and I’m jealous of all the pizza 😉 I’d love a running tour like that!
You would love the running tour! Hope you have a chance to do one in one of the cities you visit
Looks like you had beautiful weather for your trip! I’ve been to NYC but wasn’t a runner back then. Believe it or not, I have a photo of my sister and me on top of the WTC. I’d love to visit again, but you know that Chicago has my heart, lol.
Glad you had so much fun!
wow that photo must elicit lots of emotion! yes, it is fun to visit but I would not want to live here. So many people!
Looks like a fun change of scenery for you this week! Gosh I can’t even remember the last time I wore heels. Back in the day they were a daily thing. Yikes! How fun to spend time with Cari!
yes, heels are not my friend anymore at all. it was a great few days of fitting it all in. Ready to head home exhausted
Hah did not even think about On Wednesdays… which is hysterical because a former colleague and I used to end up in that conversation about pinks at least once a month.
So great to see you and glad you enjoyed my city. Oddly, I had a dream about pizza. I guess my body is wanting some? Safe home and hope to see you soon. Overdue for a DC trip!
Yes I did have a great few days. Lovely to see you! Ready to head home exhausted and full of pizza
I’m glad you had a great time in NYC. Love you met up with Cari. That pizza photo is PERFECT! Love your dress for the wedding too!
I’m so glad that Matty core challenge is over. I’m ready for some more variety.
Yes, we did have a great few days of pizza and friends and lots of walking. Ready to head home exhausted and full of pizza
Well you know running and eating in NYC is my favorite thing in the world.
I need to go back soon.
Maybe April for that half.
Yes it sure is fun! Hope to see you there that would be super fun
Not long after we moved here, my husband had a conference in NYC — I got to spend a whole week there, too! I’ve been many times (although not as much since we moved here) but a whole week was amazing!
Sounds like it was a great time.
It really is a fun city to visit and explore and eat in. Ready to go home exhausted and very full!
It sounds like you had a wonderful time in NYC! I love the dress that you wore to the wedding! We visited the outdoor 911 memorial a few years ago when we were visiting our son and d-i-l and planned to visit the indoor museum on another visit, but they moved back to Virginia before we had a chance. You and Cari look great in your pick!
Thanks we did have a fun few days. I highly recommend the indoor museum next time you are here. It’s very moving and very well done
Oh, it looks so fun! And the weather looks amazing- all that blue sky. A ten mile run tour through NYC sounds like a dream run. Enjoy all the food! One weekend wouldn’t be enough for me to eat everything I wanted, ha ha.
It was a really fun few days of eating, running and seeing friends
I haven’t been to NYC in ages – boy do I miss it! Looks like you had a great trip, and seeing Cari was a wonderful bonus. The 9-11 memorial is quite something, isn’t it? I couldn’t bring myself to visit the museum – we were living in NYC on 9/11 and I just wasn’t ready to re-live it, but I do want to see it at some point.
I did not know that you lived there then. It’s pretty intense and emotional to visit but I am glad that we did this time.
I love the dress you wore for the wedding! Both you and your husband look great!
Looks like you had an amazing time in NYC and glad that you were able to do a running tour and eat yummy food! I still haven’t gone to the 9/11 Memorial but I’ve heard it’s very powerful and emotional. Hopefully one day I will be able to go but I’m just not mentally ready to go yet.
Thanks we did have a great time. It was for sure emotional and very intense to tour the monument and museum but I am glad that we did. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years
Looks like such a fun trip! You covered a lot of ground and ate so much yummy food! The running tour sounds so great. Way to make the most of a weekend wedding trip!
We definitely packed a lot in!
I <3 NY 🙂 I was born there and most of my family still lives there. Give me some NY bagels (from Brooklyn), Italian pastries (From SI) and NYC pizza any day 🙂
Yes definitely an amazing place to eat and play!
Deborah, looks like you had such a great time, and the photos are gorgeous! Looks like it was such a fun time. Also, hello gorgeous at the wedding– you guys look amazing!
Thanks so much it was a fun few days
I haven’t worn heels in two years! Yikes! But you both look amazing!
Love that you are just a train ride away from the city. I would give anything for some Brooklyn pizza right now.
The pizza might have been the best part!
