Oh hey, remember me? I just moved in to my new blog site and am still getting settled, but I missed blogging! I figured I would stick with my same routine and share last week’s workouts. I spent way too much time on computers last week, so any time I exercised it felt really good to move. I had to incorporate some upper body mobility work into my routine because my shoulders and neck were so tight!
Workouts for the Week of 10/24-10/30
Monday: I had run 7 miles on Sunday, so took Monday off from running. I did my usual PT stuff, some strength training, and finished up with a short ride on the bike for about 10 minutes.
Tuesday: 3 miles plus PT exercises. I have two PT routines that I follow, one that I do before a run and the other I do on days that I am not running. This helps me to make sure I do all the exercises throughout the week but I save the longer routine for days when I have more time.
Wednesday: I’ve stuck with my goal to do Pilates once a week! I think this is the 4th week I have incorporated it into my routine. I am liking the added challenge of using the magic circle.
Thursday: 3 miles, but a little faster than usual. It was colder than I expected so I felt underdressed when I started. After a few minutes of easy running I added in some fartleks. This kept things interesting and helped me to warm up faster!
Friday: 30 minutes on the spin bike and the usual PT routine
Saturday: 7 miles on a hilly route- I finally made it back to a nearby trail. It was a gorgeous route but definitely a struggle coming back home up a hill!
Sunday: Just a few minutes of core work/pt stuff

Overall, a good week, and no complaints about the weather lately! I’m hoping fall sticks around a bit longer.
How were your workouts last week?
Are you having nice fall weather?
Does your upper body get sore from working too long on a computer?
Linking up with Holly and Tricia for hosting the Weekly Wrap!
it looks so nice! congrats! I will click around to make sure I follow you! so what happens? do you lose your old posts from running out of wine or does it look like they are now tied into this site ( I see old posts in your related posts I think here). must have been a ton of work, be proud for getting it done! I hate the tech stuff lol
Thanks! Everything was moved over, but for some reason alot of the posts are still being password protected even though I changed the settings. Im hoping it just takes some time to reset, because Im not sure what to do otherwise! Im also not sure whats going on with Bloglovin- I havent been able to “claim” the new site yet and its still listing the title as Running Out of Wine.
I think you actually just uncovered something for me–I might be sore in my upper body from the computer! But then again… getting nothing accomplished, so maybe not… lol
Love the new site. Do you feel like you got married and had to change your name? LOL
It does sort of feel like that! Its going to take awhile to adjust to typing the new name.
Congrats on launching the new blog!
The leaves in your last pic look so crunchy. I loooooove the sound of crunching leaves, but of course I hardly ever get to hear it since our leaves generally don’t fall off!
We are finally just getting some crunchy leaves! We have had some warm warm fall weather this year.
Congrats on the new site! The design is beautiful! That’s awesome how you’ve been able to make Pilates a part of your routine. The magic circle adds lots of upper body work to it. Great week of workouts and hooray for some faster running!
Thanks! Its amazing the different that a simple tools like the magic circle can make to a routine!
I don’t know if I’m sore from computer work, but my neck and shoulders have been tense lately. My chiro’s had to work out kinks the last couple visits. I have one in my neck right now that I’m trying to stretch out.
I think I need to get a massage or go to the chiro! I just cant get these knots out on my own.
It has not felt like fall here with the temps in the 80s this weekend but this week it is suppose to be much cooler. Fall weather is nice, but I am not looking forward to what comes after fall. Congrats on launching the new blog, looks great!
I am not looking forward to what comes after fall either! And thanks!
Love the new site. NICE WORK, yo! Great job on the week’s workouts, too! I love your profile pic. You look gorg. 🙂
Thank you! was so tired of my old site and pic, so it was definitely time for a change.
Congrats on your new blog! Very chic. 🙂
Thanks!
Yes, I always get sore in my upper body from sitting at the computer too long. Fortunately, I manage a gym, so when this happens I just get up, walk out onto the floor and do a few uppper body weights! It’s a pretty good gig! 🙂 Love the new site!
That is a great plan! I have been trying to stretch out my arms, neck and shoulders throughout the work day but Im not sure if its really helping at all.
The site looks great! I don’t know how people work at computers all days… I definitely get sore when I’m not able to move around throughout the day. Great job on your variety of workouts!
Thanks! I try to move around as much as possible during the work day. I think its all the blog work that sucks me in and I forget to take breaks!
Your new site looks great! Did you design it yourself? I’ve been wanting to overhaul my blog theme but it seems so time-consuming 🙂
For workouts, I just started the Kayla Itsines BBG workout program. This is my second week and so far I really like it. I am working out all areas of my body and building lots of strength back into my legs after taking about a month off of working out.
I bought a theme on etsy but customized it alot. But it came with some widgets and instructions so that helped! It was still really time consuming because if one thing went wrong it would take me hours to fix.
Ive heard good things about the BBG workouts! Hope you continue to like it!
Your new site looks great! Looks like you had a strong week of workouts. I loathe spending too much time on the computer. Ugh
Thanks! I know, I said that next weekend I need someone to hide my laptop for at least a few hours.
Love the new site! I can imagine the work it was, just changing my theme was a huge project in July. I haven’t run a hilly route in a while, it’s so dark out I’ve been sticking to the same old route but I need a change!
When I run in the dark mornings I stick to the same route, so its nice to change it up a bit on the weekends!
I’m liking the new look of the site!
You had a great week of workouts! Even though I’m not injured, I do need to step up my PT exercises and spend more time with the foam roller…my knees have been suffering due to neglect!
I like the fall weather but it’s been so inconsistent lately!
It really has been inconsistent! As much as I enjoy the warm weather I think Im done with this back and forth. I already put away all my summer clothes!
Your new blog looks great! I’m getting back into my PT routine now. I had stopped it during the last few weeks before Chicago. But, I know I can’t let it slip! What a pretty trail. I know you enjoyed that 7 mile run! Thanks for linking, Lisa!
Thanks! It was a great run.
I always back off PT towards the end of marathon training. But as long as you get back to it you will be fine!
Well hello Lisa! I almost marked you as a new linker lol. I love the site and the name is just perfect! You have done an amazing job on it! I can’t imagine how long you’ve worked on it!
I too work at a desk all day and it sucks because I don’t get up near enough. Heck my bathroom is about 20 steps, copier, 8 and even kitchen about 25. I work for every step during the day I get!
Thanks so much!!
It’s so hard to stay active when at a desk all day. I try to move as much as possible but its never enough.
