Snowed In

Hi everyone! Last week was very cold and very snowy/icy..not my fave. I definitely kept things a little more low-key- I didn't have a ton of energy or motivation to work out super hard so I kept things much more chill. Still got in some fun classes though! Here's a look at my week-


Monday

45 min BHM Icons Bootcamp with Jess Sims

Monday Mayhem is back! Today's class was in honor of Kobe Bryant and his daughter who passed away last year. This was such an emotional class- you could really tell how much Kobe inspired Jess and also brought her closer to her own dad. She put all that emotion into making a HARD class that left me breathless! Really pushed it on this and it hurt so good. I took a cool down ride after which was much needed.



Tuesday

40 min Total Strength with Andy

Kicked off week two of the program with upper body. All of the exercises were the same as last week, but we added more weight and moved faster to get more reps in. It was definitely harder but I love feeling like I'm making progress.


3 mile Run

We got a bunch of snow, so I decided it would be a perfect chance to go for a snowy trail run. This is something I used to do all the time when I could walk to parks and trails, but haven't done it as much now that I have to drive to the park! I got to make fresh tracks on a couple of the trails and took it super easy since it was a bit icy. But wow- it was gorgeous and a great workout.



Wednesday

10 min Focus Flow- Hamstrings with Aditi

My legs were super tight after my snow run, so this was a much needed stretch for them. I love these short and sweet classes!


30 min Carnival Celebration Ride with Hannah


This ride had SO MUCH energy and was a blast! I love taking classes with Hannah and need to do more. It's so tough to balance out all of the classes I want to take since every instructor is incredible!


Thursday

30 min Total Strength with Andy

Leg day! Once again this was similar to last week's class but with more weight. I was feeling a lot stronger during this- especially during the squats.


30 min Lunar New Year Ride with Emma

I always love any of the cultural- themed classes at Peloton, to learn about other holidays and cultures. This one was really nice and especially timely with all of the horrible acts of violence and racism against Asian Americans lately. Emma had a great message at the end, reminding us that she, and other Asian Americans, are our neighbors and our teachers and our friends- they're not different from any of us. We should ALL remember that.


30 min Lil Wayne Run with Robin

Had some extra energy and some sunlight so I did this run quickly. Loved the playlist- I'm a huge Lil Wayne fan and have been excited to take this class for a while now!



Friday

20 min Soul Ride with Cliff

I have Monday off for President's Day, which made today super busy. I also had a dentist appointment in the morning, so I was super busy until late at night. I just had time to squeeze in this ride really quickly but it was really nice- loved the music.



Saturday

45 min Queen Pop Ride with Robin

This was such a fun ride!! I absolutely love Queen, so I can't wait to take the rock ride as well. I was having a great time, singing along and pushing hard.



Sunday

45 min 80s Ride with Jenn

I joined this ride in the morning- it wasn't my favorite genre of music but I used it as a nice and easy recovery ride.


30 min Total Strength with Andy

Last workout for week 2 is a total body workout. This one absolutely flew by- by now I know the moves so I'm hoping that in week 3 we can switch it up a little more.

Relationship Rules I Broke (and WEDDING PHOTOS!)

Image
Happy Thursday everyone! Today I have a different type of post to share today.  I don't talk about relationships or my dating life much on the blog, but I'm switching it up today!  I got married last Friday, and I thought it would be fun to share some relationship rules that I broke while Dan and I dated. I'll also be sharing some wedding pictures!  We got married at the Butterfly Falls at the Hidden Valley Inn in Belize (more on the Inn in upcoming posts!), and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing.  Since we had a "just the two of us" ceremony, there's not much to talk about the actual wedding.  In lieu of a full post on that, I'll be sharing some background information on our relationship, along with wedding photos and some #ThrowbackThursday pictures.  I hope you enjoy (and I promise- back to running stuff next week!) Guys are immature, so date someone older I've always read in magazines (which, by the way, have the worst datin

Towpath Half Marathon Recap

Image
Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday!  Today I'll be recapping my race this weekend, the Towpath Half Marathon.  Overall, I had a great experience at the race and would definitely recommend it!  Before I dive into the mile-by-mile recap, I just wanted to give some overall thoughts and reviews of the race as a whole. The Towpath Marathon features three races- a full marathon, half marathon and 10k.  All three races are in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, but all run different courses.  The half and 10k start at the Brandywine Ski Resort, while the full starts at the Boston Mills Ski Resort (where the expo is held). The course is mostly on a narrow crushed limestone trail that is relatively flat.  There are a few sections that were paved and a few small walking bridges that provided the only real inclines.  It's really hard to pass people (particularly near the turn where it's two-way traffic) since the trail is so narrow. There are a lot of water stations, and each o

Review- Group Power

Image
Happy Weekend everyone!  Today, I'll be doing a review of another group exercise I do at my gym called Group Power !  Let's get right into it. First off, the description in our program guide is "This 60-minute barbell program strengthens all your major muscles in an inspiring, motivating group environment with simple, athletic movements such as squats, lunges, presses and curls." I don't exactly look like this when I'm curling..but you get the idea! Let me tell you, this is one intense workout!  For the entire 60 minutes, we're constantly moving and lifting and by the end I'm a pool of sweat!  We work out all the major muscle groups - Legs, Chest, Triceps, Biceps, Glutes, Shoulders, and Core with light to moderate weights.  We also use a step to do exercises like chest presses and split squats. For each song, we focus on one muscle group, and do a variety of exercises with lots of repetitions, set to the beat of the music.  The tempo of the
