I think I say this most weeks but this week just flew by! I know I wrote about January not being that bad, but I am not sad to say bye by January. The last 2 weeks have been challenging and I have had to get creative to get all of my workouts in. Joining in on the Weekly Wrap with Wendy and Hoho.

Bye Bye January

Sunday- Rest Day

The hubs came home from an overseas business trip and brought a nasty bacterial infection with him. He was so sick all weekend. We even had to spend most of Saturday night in the ER getting IV fluids and blood tests. All good now but I was completely exhausted by Sunday and just needed a rest.

Monday-20 minute Peloton + 60 m strength training + 3 mile afternoon walk

bye bye January

My Mondays have become heavy workout days with the addition of the afternoon walks. We knew our weather was about to get crazy cold and wanted to get it done.

Tuesday- 5 mile run + Peloton stretch class

Knowing this would be the best running day of the week before the temps plummeted, we wanted to get in a good run.

bye bye January

Wednesday- 90 min boxing/strength training + 3 mile treadmill walk

Always hitting it hard on Workout Wednesday. Had to take the afternoon walk onto the treadmill due to the weather.

Thursday- 45 minute Peloton bike + 60 min hot yoga

We were also hit by the crazy temps and Thursday was not an outdoor day at all. Replaced my usual run with a bike class. Jumped into an afternoon yoga class with a friend and had some post stretch fun.

bye bye January

Friday- planned rest day

Woke up to a surprise little snow storm which cancelled the coffee date I had planned with a few running friends. Made the most of my solo coffee date.

bye bye January

Saturday- For The Love 10K

It was a chilly first race of the year and we did not need the groundhog to tell us it was still winter. Had to do a little more walking on the hills than I expected but always fun to get out there with the crew.

bye bye January

 

Bye Bye January! Looking forward to a warmer February. The hubs and I are off for a little vacation together this week. Stay tuned for photos of course. That’s a Wrap! Don’t miss Meatless Monday tomorrow. I am sharing my Sweet Potato & Black Bean Skillet Enchiladas.

    This last week of January was l.o.n.g. It was a challenge for me to get creative with my workouts as well, but I kind of thrive on those kinds of things LOL I LOVE all the bright colors you and your gag pals are always decked out in for you runs! Glad the hubby is doing better, that does sound scary.

    • Deborah Brooks says

    Oh man, I’m so sorry to hear how sick your husband was! I’m glad they got him all taken care of. I can only imagine the toll that must have taken.

    This week was definitely crazy, weather wise. Most of my stuff was inside, too. I’m glad you were able to take advantage of the nice days and get out.

    I love a good 10k. I don’t do enough of those.

    • Deborah Brooks says

    I’m also not sad to see January go. For some reason most of last month was just blah. I’m not happy about the groundhog either, but hopefully its not as crazy low temps as it was last month!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/03/2019 at 11:54 pm

      I am hoping for a better January myself!

  14. Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says

    02/04/2019 at 7:05 am

    Enjoy your vacation! It’s always nice to get away in winter, especially after the hubs being sick (hope everyone is ok now).

    I’m sure you’ll stay active!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/04/2019 at 10:05 am

      He is totally recovered now thanks and we are looking forward to a few days away together

  15. Hannah says

    02/04/2019 at 9:12 am

    Oh no, I hope your husband is better now! Enjoy your vacation, sounds like you are both ready for one.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/04/2019 at 10:19 am

      He is totally fine now thanks! Looking forward to getting away together

  16. Amy @ She Runs By Faith says

    02/04/2019 at 3:45 pm

    Coffee with friends is always great but sometimes a coffee date ALONE is something I crave! A little peace, to sip a tasty drink and just calm the mind a bit 🙂 You fit in some major workouts this week and such variety, too. Way to go Deborah, and I hope your hubs is feeling better! There is so much sick going around in these cold months 🙁

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/04/2019 at 5:53 pm

      I also savor my alone time coffee dates! He is much better thanks for asking

  17. Jessie says

    02/04/2019 at 10:25 pm

    Ugh, January was sooo long. I hope February flies by!

    The “For the Love” 10k sounds like a lot of fun, good for you!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/05/2019 at 5:52 pm

      Yes I hope so too!

  18. Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says

    02/05/2019 at 11:01 am

    I’m so sorry your husband got sick, but it sounds like he’s feeling better. I hope you two have a great getaway together!

    The cold weather really makes it tough to get out for a workout, you definitely made it work and still kept active!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/05/2019 at 5:56 pm

      You have to get creative sometimes! He is feeling totally better now thanks

  19. Debbie @ Deb Runs says

    02/06/2019 at 10:46 pm

    January flew by for me, too! Work is so busy that the days all seem to jumble together!

    I hope your husband was back to feeling 100% by the time you left for your little getaway and that you’re having a great time!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      02/07/2019 at 12:34 am

      Yes he is totally better now thanks!
