Last week’s workouts had all of my favorites – running, yoga, strength training and hiking. I call that a winning week!
Monday

Half kneeling cable lift
Single leg deadlift
Side lunge with KB shoulder press

Cable flys
Standing single arm low cable row
35 minutes Elliptical w/ 8 x 60 sec hard, 90 sec recovery
Tuesday
5 mile trail run, 13:32 avg/pace, 879 ft elev gain
It was too beautiful of a day to not hit the trails. The sky was a brilliant blue, sun shining and a crisp 50 degrees. We are almost at peak for leaf peeping and it was evident on the trails. Soooo many leaf peeping tourists. I must have looked like I knew where I was going because I was asked four times for directions. I do know the trails at Mount A but I don’t know the names which makes it even harder to explain where to go. I apologize to all the hikers that who got lost because of my wrong directions. Sorry!

TRX plank/side plank
TRX push up
Single leg squats
Barbel lunges

Thursday
Morning Flow Yoga @ Bending Bodhi
6 mile run, 8:42 avg pace, 250 ft elev gain
I’ve said this before but running a workout is really difficult in the dark with leaves on the ground. I’m so paranoid about watching my footing that I forget about the workout. The plan called for 2 min hard/2 min easy x 8. Kyle and I did the intervals but not nearly as hard as it should have been. Both of us were complaining about our breathing. I like to think it was the cold – 34 degrees – and the flakes of snow that I got a few times in the light of my headlamp. Gah! I don’t know if I’m ready for that!
Friday
5 mile run, 9:10 avg pace, 254 ft elev gain
Did I say 34 degrees felt cold? How ’bout 28? There was definitely frost on the pumpkin among other things that morning.
Saturday
Semi rest day except we did a short family hike in the late afternoon after Avery’s soccer game. We’ve had so many weekend activities that we’ve missed out on a lot of great hiking days.
Everyone was happy to be outside especially Cooper!
Sunday
10.5 mile run, 9:03 avg pace, 435 ft elev gain
I met up with Kyle and a new friend, Liz for a long run. The conversation flowed for the duration of the run with ease. I love how running can bring so many people together!
And I was a total dork for the whole run because I forgot to shut off my headlamp after the sun came up. #NerdAlert
