I am linking up again for the Weekly Run Down with Kim and Deborah.

Uff. Saying goodbye is hard. The best thing to do is jump back into your routine and sweat out all the extra feelings, am I right? It’s just that I hadn’t had a routine for the last few weeks, but at least I could pick up where I left off with the Team Wilpers Fall Run Challenge. I also picked a few rides and a couple of random strength classes, and continued with daily meditation and yoga.

Monday

  • 10 Min Morning Meditation – Chelsea (9/11/25)
  • 10 Min Yoga Flow – Denis (4/15/25) — Personal Streak
  • 5 Min Warm Up Ride – Sam (9/22/21)
  • 30 Min Power Zone Endurance Ride – Sam (5/11/25) — Costume Party
  • 5 Min Cool Down Ride – Sam (4/24/25)

I was feeling emotionally hungover and slept in this morning. I was ready to call this day a rest day, but had a surge of energy in the afternoon and decided to jump on the bike and get a little sweat on. I did not regret it.  

Tuesday

  • 10 Min Daily Meditation – Denis (10/19/25)
  • 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt (5/14/25)
  • Team Wilpers Fall Run Challenge W3R2 | Threshold Repeats
    • 30 Min 90s Rock Run – Alex K (10/7/25)
  • 5 Min Full Body Stretch – Erik (9/30/25) — Spooktacular Self Care
  • 10 Min Focus Flow: For Runners – Denis (4/9/24) — Personal Streak

I am picking up where I left off with the Team Wilpers Fall Run Challenge after being out of commission for over a week. The 30-minute Threshold Repeats run was just the kind of workout I needed to get back into running. Short, but fun.  

Wednesday

  • 10 Min Gratitude Meditation – Nico (9/7/25)
  • 20 Min Arms & Shoulders Strength – Andy (10/16/25) — Costume Party
  • 15 Core Strength – Rebecca (10/9/25)
  • 10 Min Focus Flow: Quads – Kirra (7/1/25) — Personal Streak

I decided to get back to some strength training today and picked an upper-body and a core class. I think I am going to feel my abs tomorrow. 

Thursday

  • 10 Min Morning Mediation – Chelsea (10/23/25)
  • 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt ( 5/14/25)
  • Team Wilpers Fall Run Challenge W3R3 | Long Run

    • 30 Min Pop Run – Jon (10/13/25)
  • 10 Min Focus Flow: For Runners – Denis (10/31/23) — Personal Streak

I continue to catch up on the Team Wilpers Fall Run Challenge and did my long run (60 minutes) today. It was beautiful, sunny weather, and I enjoyed moving outside. I picked a Halloween Run with Jess King for the Costume Party tracker. Instead of a stretch, I chose one of my favorite focus flows for runners.

Friday

  • 10 Min Calming Meditation – Anna (2/6/24)
  • 10 Min Restorative Yoga – Nico (3/24/25) — Personal Streak 

I was busy running errands and made today a rest day.

Saturday

  • 10 Min Acceptance Meditation – Ross (5/25/24)
  • 5 Min Get to Know Me Warm Up Ride – Denis (9/21/25)
  • 30 Min Halloween Ride – Bradley (10/25/25) — Costume Party
  • Extra 10: Low Impact Ride – Bradley (10/19/25)
  • 10 Min Full Body Foam Rolling – Rebecca (4/30/25) — Spooktacular Self Care
  • 15 Min Yoga Flow – Anna (7/15/25) — Personal Streak

I contemplated a run but decided to put together a little workout stack, including a Halloween ride and some foam rolling (for one of the trackers). I always forget how good foam rolling feels.

Sunday

  • 10 Min Peak Performance Meditation – Ross (10/27/21) — Spooktakular Self Care
  • 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt (5/14/25)

  • 20 Min Restorative Yoga – Aditi (6/15/21) — Personal Streak
  • 10 Min Relaxing Meditation – Anna (2/27/23) 

I am still catching up on the Team Wilpers Fall Run Challenge and did a V02 Max Ladder Down Run today. As you can see in the graph, this was another fun interval structure. I added some strength training and later joined Serenity Sunday – yoga and meditation – in the afternoon.

Current Challenges + Trackers:

I have no idea how I have been able to keep up with the trackers, but it looks like I’ll be able to finish them. I only missed one yoga class for my personal streak so far.

  1. Nice job this week! You get in such a variety of exercise, I’m jealous. I need to start doing some yoga and stop focusing on other things. Love all the challenges you have! I don’t know how you keep track of them.

  2. Yes, the best thing to do when you’re feeling down is get right back into a routine, and you did a good job of that. Peloton always has such great holiday themes, and it looks like they’re doing Halloween right!

  3. Routine. Ha. What even are those? I have been great about getting walks in, and then I fit in whatever feels good/possible that day depending on my mood, energy levels, and how control my RA is. This past week I got 2 OTF workouts in which I really enjoyed. One was a treadmill only workout, the other was the traditional class w/ tread/rowing/strength. I have a class pack now but am thinking about signing up for a twice/week membership.

  4. For the costume party workout or ride or whatever, do you don a costume? ;)
    I will adjust my workouts once it’s too cold to run outside, but right now it’s not too cold. I have too many tots on Tu/Thurs so I can’t walk with the stroller on those days. l have a smaller group on M/W, so I’m still walking with the quad stroller. I also do some strength each day. As usual your ability to get up and go esp during an emotional hangover is impressive.

  5. Nice job with all the self care (in addition to the cardio & strength). I’m trying to incorporate daily meditation into my pre-sleep nighttime routine. It does seem to help me fall asleep faster!

  6. Yes, the best thing to do when you feel sad or off is just to jump right back into your routine. It really helps hugs to you

  7. Best feeling when you decide its rest day and then you do some sort of exercise anyways because you just feel its what you need. I have had this a few times. Mainly it’s yoga for me but yeah.

  8. Routine is such a savior when life is…life-ing. I’m sorry that you were hit so hard this week, but so glad you were able to find some solace in your activities. <3
