Weekend Workouts - Jan. 30

[sadlebred]

What did everyone do this weekend?

BQ: What was the best thing you ate/drank this weekend?

[sadlebred]

Friday: Off
Saturday: 75 minute trainer ride-windchills were in the single digits. Too cold for me to ride outside!
Sunday: 2 hour freezing cold road ride

BQ: "Church cake" - Yellow Cake with chocolate butter cream icing. The best cake I've had in so long and freshest every from a bakery. It was baked only a few hours before I bought it. (Also, don't get me started on how good the sweet potato pie tastes.) A Black woman owned bakery opened with a specialty of cakes using her Granny's recipes. I got to meet her mom (daugher of Granny) and talk to her a bit about the new bakery. Church cake has a special meaning within many Black communities from what I was told. If you are anywhere near Atlanta, My Grannys Cakes on Cumberland Parkway is a must.

Fri - swam 118 laps, went ax throwing (not a workout but something different anyway)
Sat - went skiing
Sun - did yoga, 45 minutes on the gym bike

I guess the tastiest thing I had this weekend was some kind of non-alcoholic fruity drink at the ax throwing.

Fri: off
Sat: 6 miles
Sun: 4 miles

I got to run all my miles outside in beautiful mid-60 degree weather. It was awesome.

BQ: we had bacon wrapped scallops last night that were delicious. We are having omelets tonight and I’m equally excited for those, haha.

BQ: prosciutto and burrata drizzled with EVOO

F: 3 mile run
S: 7 mile run
S: shoveled 2 feet of snow, 2 hours of sledding (aka hill repeats )

F- I wanted to do 6 miles but I was a dumbass and opened my work email as soon as I woke up... and the 6 miles never happened.
S- Stayed inside all day! There was a blizzard
S- Took a 1 mile snowy walk!

BQ- I made a baked mac n cheese yesterday.

Saturday- blizzard, lost wifi so didn't peloton as planned. Did a strength workout instead.
Today- 12 mile run in the post blizzard world.

I'm currently eating it Oatmilk ice cream and some heart shaped mini fudge covered cookies from TJs. They are so addicting.

Impressive! Things are still a hot mess in Somerville/Cambridge. Our 1 mile walk to daycare this morning was a nightmare - even the bike path wasn't passable with a stroller.

I ran in the streets, mostly 😬. Slow and steady and maneuvering unplowed sidewalks and lumpy snow terrain. My knees definitely felt the workout. But glad I was able to do it since I missed last weeks run due to covid recovery.

I actually like running in the snow. It’s so pretty and hardly anyone is out. If the wind wasn’t so crazy, I would have gone out on Saturday. Running along the Charles in the snow is gorgeous. My fav winter runs.

[Wines Not Whines]

Friday: easy 5 mile run
Saturday: 10 mile run on a snowy trail, upper body and core
Sunday: Peloton class

BQ: I had really good sushi on Saturday night, and homemade shrimp panang curry on Sunday.

H and I just got back from a trip to Sedona, so my workouts were hikes!

Fri: Hiked Cathedral Rock and another trail in town
Sat: Devils Bridge, Fay Canyon and Soldiers pass. I had almost 30k steps.
Sun: Grand Canyon South Rim. 6 mile hike to Skeleton Point. If anyone is familiar, wow. This was straight cardio climbing for 3 miles.

BQ: We didn't do any fancy dinners, but had some really good wood fired pizza and burgers at a cute brewery in Flagstaff.

breezy8407 It sounds like a fun trip!
