It was a hectic week with several changes to my usual morning schedule, but I was happy to get out for a few Scooby miles before we spring forward to dark mornings again.
Friday’s fiery sunrise!
A Hectic Week
My hectic week started Monday with an 8:30 am shockwave treatment. Another sign of my hamstring healing is that it didn’t hurt so much as feel like a really intense Theragun session. Wednesday I had an absolutely crazy morning with an 8 am hair appointment I squeezed in before a 9 am conference call. I had another conference call at 10, and then had to take an 11 am conference call in an Uber to an actual conference that started at 11:30 in D.C.
I signed up for the Peloton app at the start of the pandemic, so this week I got my 4 year badge.
I used the occasion to download my workout history from the website. I wanted to see how many times I’ve taken my favorite stretch, and counted 234 times—I’ve added a few more since. I’m tempted to figure out ChatGPT enough to ask it to tell me other interesting things about my workout history.
Weekly Run Down
I did three runs with Scooby this week, and my hamstring was okay with them, but with the time change I will go back to using the tread—or bike—this week.
Sunday: I did a long lower body warm-up before hopping on the tread for Jon’s run, which I did with my 2/1 intervals. I also took a long time afterward to stretch on my own.
Monday: I runfess that I decided to take Scooby out for a run figuring the shockwave treatment would undo any harm. I stuck to my ~2.5 mile loop and enjoyed the mild weather and daylight when I finished.
Tuesday: I did a short strength workout at home, and then headed to the office gym to use the Peloton bike. I had it to myself for a few minutes, but by the time I finished it was pretty busy. A guy hopped on the other bike for a few minutes, but didn’t log in—maybe he just wanted to move his legs a bit before his own strength workout?
Wednesday: This was my most hectic morning, so I maximized my workout time by taking Scooby for a short run—that same 2.5 mile loop.
Thursday: I had to leave the house @ 7 am, so I used my tight schedule to convince myself to give my legs a break from cardio. I did do my PT exercises at the end of Matty’s walk.
Friday: I expected it to be warmer than it was when I took Scooby out for a short run again, but the damp air made the mid-40s feel brisk. Garmin awarded me a badge for doing something on International Women’s Day.
Saturday: It was supposed to rain—and it was drizzly when I took Scooby out—so I had planned an indoor workout. I don’t usually take non-English stretches because I don’t like to have to look at my screen, but I took Irene’s class as part of the Breakthrough Crew challenge and it was a good one.
A huge thank you to Deborah and Kim for hosting the Weekly Run Down link up.
Do you have clocks in your house you have to change?

Looks like you do have a busy week! I have not ever looked at the history tab hmm. Congrats on 4 years. We have to change our oven and microwave:) today with an early flight not loving the time change!
I think those kitchen appliances are the most common. We also have a wall clock in the kitchen that needs to be changed!
I’m tired just reading about your week! Hopefully this week will be a little less arduous for you. We have a clock on the oven that needs changing, I think that’s about it. Scooby’s ears! lol!
I’m still in California, so the hubs will handle any of the time change duties–I think just the stove and the microwave need changing. Glad you’re enjoying running again!
Looking good, Coco! Great news on the runs feeling good, and I’m sure Scooby is glad to have his favorite companion back in action 😉 I didn’t notice the International Women’s Day badge (I much have been really zoned out, LOL), but it’s on my Garmin. What a busy week for you!
You did have a busy week! It sounds like your hamstring is coming along though, and that is great news.
Congrats on your 4 year Peloton badge! We have 4 clocks we have to change, and one we always forget for a few weeks but your blog reminded me, so thank you!
Hope you have a less hectic week ahead!
Glad to hear you’re feeling well enough to run with Scooby again. He must be so happy!
Oh my gosh your Wednesday morning sounds so stressful! I hate scheduling myself so tight, but sometimes you’ve just gotta do it to fit everything in.
Oh, that Wednesday morning schedule! I must admit I would hesitate to have a hairdresser appointment at the start of the day in case they made a mess of things. But it looks like you can trust your hairdresser!
So glad that hamstring is still on an upward trend!
Hah, no, my issue was the other way — my hair would not look as good on the other days of the conference!
That’s funny- I’m reading everyone’s comments- sounds like we’re all changing the clocks on our stoves and microwaves!
Your week sounds really good! Sometimes you just have to run and see what it feels like. Your hamstring is just reminding you to proceed with caution- but it’s not really “injured” anymore. Here’s to continued improvement!
Hooray on those Scooby runs!!!!!
Most of my clocks change even my car but there is the stove, microwave and one clock.
I can relate… I’m always squeezing it all in.
Love the monday cherry blossom shirt!
Glad the shock isn’t feeling as painful. Literal baby steps.
Way to multitask Wednesday, although I got tired reading it!
Yay for your hamstring! It sounds like a good week for you and it’s great that you now can add running to the mix. Congrats on 4 years with Peloton!
Here we have another few weeks before we change our clocks so we can enjoy light mornings for a bit!
Yes, I think we’re only 4 hours off from London right now — that’s so weird to me!
Glad to hear your hamstring seems to be getting there. I am back running too, and feeling a lot better – but still not 100%. Trying to stretch and also switch up between running and indoor cycling. Your Wednesday was crazy – great job getting it all in!
Such a busy week! I’m happy to hear that your hamstring is improving and the shockwave treatments are helping!
Congrats on your 4 year badge! It’s never occured to me that I could download my class history – now I’m wondering what my most taken class would be.
You should find out! It’s very easy to download. Then I sorted by class name I think.
What a pretty sunrise! That’s impressive that you took the conference call in the Uber, on the way to an actual conference! I’m pretty sure I saw that one in a movie 🙂
LOL. I apologized to the driver in advance, but don’t think he cared. I’m sure a lot of people are on calls during their rides.
Nice job!
Most of our clocks are now automatic. I did have to change the microwave one, though.
Scooby is the cutest! I’m glad he gets to go with you!
4 years! Wow, time flies…
Glad the shockwave therapy seems to have helped!
Love that fiery pic with Scoopy!
