Happy Sunday. I hope that everyone had a great week. Do you have plans for Memorial Day? It’s been raining here on and off since Friday, and expected to continue tomorrow. We probably won’t be able grill any food outside, which is a bummer, but we’ll just have to cook everything inside.
Here’s a rundown of my workouts from this week:
Monday, May 24
Peloton Walk + Run 5/8/21 – Jess (30 minutes)
Peloton AT’s Ride to Greatness: Warm Up 4/30/21 – Ben (5 minutes)
Peloton AT’s Ride to Greatness: Game 3 5/22/21 – Alex (20 minutes)
Peloton AT’s Ride to Greatness: Cool Down 5/1/21 – Alex (5 minutes)
Peloton WHM Celebration Ride 3/16/20 – Irene (30 minutes)
Peloton Verzuz Yoga Flow 5/22/21 – Ross (30 minutes)
The Walk + Run class went by so quickly! The music and the commentary from Jess was really good so it made the time fly by. Always love AT’s rides, especially his Ride to Greatness classes because if his energy.
Tuesday, May 25
Peloton APIHM Run 5/21/21 – Chase (20 minutes)
Peloton Extra Mile 9/5/19 – Jess (10 minutes)
Peloton APIHM Bollywood Ride 5/24/21 – Kendall (30 minutes)
Peloton APIHM Pop Ride 5/22/21 – Tunde (30 minutes)
I love that Peloton offered a ton of APIHM classes this month because it’s exposed me to lots of new songs and music artists, especially the Bollywood classes. I’m always looking for ways to diversify my music collection so it’s been a great month for that.
Wednesday, May 26
Peloton Pride Run 6/9/20 – Robin (30 minutes)
Peloton Run + Arms & Shoulders 6/6/19 – Jess (30 minutes)
Peloton WHM Celebration Ride 3/3/20 – Denis (20 minutes)
Peloton 90’s Rock Yoga Flow 5/1/21 – Chelsea (30 minutes)
The run + arms & shoulders class was a bootcamp class. Some of the older classes focus on doing the run first and then the strength training last, instead of going back and forth between the two. For this class, it worked out well based on the intervals Jess used for the run portion. The strength section was only 10 minutes but my arms were definitely feeling the burn! The playlist for the yoga class was incredible. I haven’t heard many of those songs in years so it was a welcomed surprise!
Thursday, May 27
Peloton Power Walk 5/13/21 – Jess (20 minutes)
Peloton Hike 4/1/21 – Jess (20 minutes)
Peloton Tabata Ride 5/2/21 – Irene (30 minutes)
Peloton 80s Ride 5/1/21 – Irene (30 minutes)
Peloton Full Body Strength 10/31/19 – Jess (10 minutes)
I love my power walk days. Jess was NOT kidding around with either of these classes, especially the hike class (major incline alert)! Last week Irene announced that she was leaving Peloton. I bookmarked a few of her classes that give badges so I decided to take those this week before Peloton purges them (not sure how long they will keep her classes available). The full body strength class was short but spicy.
Friday, May 28
Peloton APIHM Power Zone Endurance Ride 5/26/21 – Matt (30 minutes)
Peloton APIHM Celebration Bootcamp 5/28/21 – Adrian (30 minutes)
Peloton APIHM Bhangra Bodyweight Strength 5/26/21 – Chase (20 minutes)
Peloton APIHM Celebration Yoga Flow 5/17/21 – Chelsea (30 minutes)
Adrian had a 7am bootcamp class so I decided to take that live. It was a great class! Adrian was so sweaty that he had to switch out his mic toward the end of class which made me feel better for all the sweat I had running down my face lol. The bodyweight strength class was interesting. Chase did a good job of mixing in traditional bhangra dance moves with bodyweight strength exercises.
Saturday, May 29
Peloton Turkey Burn Fun Run 11/28/19 – Matt (45 minutes)
Peloton Silk Sonic Ride 5/28/21 – Cliff (30 minutes)
Peloton APIHM Bollywood Pilates 5/24/21 – Aditi (30 minutes)
I looked at my weather app when I woke up and saw I had a one hour window to get in a run before the rain started. I timed it perfectly as it started to rain hard as soon as got back to my house. I also ran into a few animal friends while I was out.
The ride with Cliff was such a vibe! He’s one of the intstructors in Germany so while I don’t understand anything he’s saying on the ride, I am still able to follow his cues and his personality during this vibe was amazing. He was dancing and singing and just overall having a good time on the bike. The 30 minutes pilates class was hard for me. I think my max is around 20 minutes for that type of class.
Sunday, May 30
Peloton Arezzo Run (10 minutes)
Peloton Silk Sonic Ride 5/24/21 – Sam (30 minutes)
Peloton Silk Sonic Bike Bootcamp 5/25/21 – Tunde (30 minutes)
Peloton Silk Sonic Upper Body Strength 5/26/21 – Ben (20 minutes)
Peloton Silk Sonic Pilates 5/26/21 – Emma (20 minutes)
With rain in the forecast all day, it was nice to do a stack of these Silk Sonic classes. Their R&B music is really fun and made the workouts fun. All the classes were good but the upper body strength class was especially spicy – I know my arms are going to be so angry at me tomorrow, lol.
Total Weekly Mileage: 13.8 miles
Summary: 7 runs*, 2 bootcamps, 13 cycle, 3 yoga and 5 strength/HIIT classes.
*I include running from my OTF workouts, boot camp classes and stand alone runs.
Peloton Artist Series Classes Progress – 277/279
I can’t believe the contrast from last weekend’s weather to today. For once, the weatherman was right when he said it would be a cold and wet weekend. I didn’t have any plans for Memorial Day but I feel bad for everyone that wanted to go to the beach or down to the Jersey Shore. Hopefully the next holiday weekend in July will have better weather.
This meme made me laugh so hard this week because it’s 100% true. Houses are selling for $20,000 or more over asking price – it’s nuts! How’s the housing market where you live? Things are crazy here so I’ll be waiting a little while longer before looking at houses to buy.
…and now for this week’s memes
That’s it! I hope you had a great week 🙂
I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down.

Jenny says
Love your memes as always and love the pic of you on the way to the grocery store ( hahahahaha…)
Sounds like you had a great week! Hope you get a break in the weather soon.
kookyrunner says
Glad that you appreciate the memes this week! 🙂
Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
I agree that we should always have 3 days weekends! I feel like I spend the full 2 days playing catch up and theres never time to relax. The weather this weekend was just miserable! I think the sun might come out tomorrow though- fingers crossed!
kookyrunner says
Totally! I never feel like I have a day off on the weekends. I always end up playing catch up from stuff I couldn’t do during the week because of work.
Jessie says
OMG the housing market meme is so true. People are buying houses without inspections in my neighborhood and these are old 1920’s housing that really need inspections, ha! It’s crazy. Glad I’m not looking for a house right now.
Sorry to hear its a gloomy weekend there as well! At least yesterday was sunny, but today is rainy.
Fun week fo Peloton workouts!
kookyrunner says
Wow, that’s crazy that buyers are not doing inspections on homes that are 100 years old. I guess they are just praying and hoping that the house is in decent shape, lol.
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
Thanks, as always, for making me laugh Kim!
It’s cold (record breaking cold, no less) and rainy here too. I’m sad for my mom, she was very excited to have visitors for the BBQ, but I know it will be too chilly to eat outside tomorrow & we can’t go into the dining room.
Here’s to a relaxed long weekend!
kookyrunner says
Happy that the memes could make you laugh 🙂
Such a bummer that you won’t be able to visit your mom tomorrow for the BBQ. Hopefully they can re-schedule it for another weekend that has nice weather.
Michelle D. says
OMG that last meme will have me laughing the rest of the day!
3 day weekends should definitely be a permanent thing! It’s too bad the weather didn’t cooperate – I’m trying to take it as a sign to slow down 😉
Another awesome week of workouts for you!
kookyrunner says
LOL right? It’s such a good meme because it’s so true.
Yeah the weather this weekend is so crappy 🙁 I know that we need the rain but this is a bit much, lol.
Cari says
That dollhouse one. So true. Buying here was never feasible, but now even the suburbs are just…no.
Ooh thanks for that Pride one. Trying to find all the Pride run/walk/strength/stretch classes for June and I hadn’t found that one yet because oh their search sucks
It looks like we’re going to dry out tomorrow, which is good. I had plans with a friend that we landed on MOnday for due to our schedules and it appeared the weather might play nice. Whee!
kookyrunner says
Yeah the housing market is actually comical now. I was finally in a good position to start looking to buy a home last year but then Covid hit and the market has been crazy ever since.

Cari says
ooh thanks! I like my own DIY challenges to go with the official ones and that’s going to be a huge assist.
Wendy says
Haha, that last meme is so me. Today I fell on the trails and boy, did I feel old…lol
Isn’t it crazy how accurate those weather apps are? The fact that you could time your run around that break in the rain…I’ve done that too, and it’s mind-blowing!
kookyrunner says
Sometimes my weather app lies to me but I was happy it was accurate yesterday, lol.
Coco says
I enjoyed Chase’s bhangra class, but have been amused by comments from people about how fun it was. It reminded me of old-school aerobics classes which are probably too young to have ever taken.
Sad but true on the housing market. I’ve had friends looking for ages and houses are selling before they even officially are on the market. Other friends gave up and are building a home\, but around here that means living further away.
I hope you enjoy your holiday!
kookyrunner says
The one thing about Chase is that he does everything with a smile which always makes his classes great!
Darlene S Cardillo says
The last meme – me right now after my 10 mile race.
Weekend weather is t he pits. Feels like winter. I’m in front of the fireplace.
I’m slacking on my walks and hikes. You are so inspiring.
kookyrunner says
It definitely felt like Winter this weekend, especially yesterday. I had to put on my fleece pants which is just crazy for late May.
Deborah Brooks says
I am the Jason Bateman meme right now! I can’t drink anymore without falling asleep. ha! I cannot keep up w my kids. You had a great mix of workouts this week. Alex always motivates me w his energy he is one of my favorites too. Try Matty’s new 20min upper body it’s a burner!
kookyrunner says
LoL same here, one drink is now more than enough for me.
Thanks for the tip on Matty’s new 20 min UB strength class – I just bookmarked it!
Kimberly Hatting says
You seriously had some tough workouts this week, especially all that upper-body work! I have often thought a 3-day weekend would actually feel more like a “weekend” than just the two days we typically are given. I can never get enough stuff done AND find time to actually enjoy the “time off.”
kookyrunner says
The upper body work killed me last week but I’m trying to slowly rebuild my strength back to where it was earlier this year. I wish that companies would normalize a 4-day work week. I feel like people would be way more productive.
fairytales and fitness says
It’s been raining here too for the last few days. I think today is going to be beautiful though!
Your meme about the housing market is spot on! we had 3 houses for sale in our neighborhood this month and one neighbor actually bought the other neighbor’s house, so they’ll be moving 3 doors down…lol
Hope you have a great week! -M
kookyrunner says
The sun finally came out about an hour ago, but it’s still kind of chilly outside.
That’s so funny about your neighbor buying the other neighbor’s house!
Marcia says
OMG those memes are too much! Yes housing is HOT here too. Everything that’s gone up in our neighborhood recently has been under contract before the realtor even got it listed. It’s crazy! Great week of workouts for you. I only had one non-work day this long weekend and we visited the inlaws that day so I feel like I never really got a chance to rest. Ugh.
kookyrunner says
Seems like the housing market is hot everywhere! It’s the same here with houses selling super quick – it’s almost like you need a insider tip for when the houses are available so you can scoop one up, lol.
Montana @ Pretty Lil Mudder says
Your memes never disappoint haha. I especially relate to the last one and the one about 3 day weekends. We should have 3 day weekends every weekend I absolutely agree with that!
I miss my Peloton subscription but I just didn’t have time for it with all the new workouts I had been doing with my coach so it didn’t make sense to keep it. Way to rock your week!
kookyrunner says
Companies should normalize 4-day work weeks. Maybe that is something that will actually happen in the future. I feel like it would make people way more productive!
Zenaida Arroyo says
I cannot believe how expensive it is to buy a house right now! I have been looking for years and now it is just even worse. 🙁
Yes to 3 day weeeends!!
kookyrunner says
Yeah the market is just really inflated right now so it’s a hittable time to buy.
Jenn says
Great workouts!
Girl, you can’t get your hands on anything here as far as housing. It’s really bad for our labor pool since no one can afford local rentals anymore. I’m interested to see how it plays out 🙁
kookyrunner says
Thanks Jenn! That’s so sad that the cost of rentals has also gone up a lot 🙁
Renée @runlaugheatpie says
ohhhhhh the memes!! LOL. Especially pants. #enoughsaid. So the housing market is nuts here as well. We lost out on houses before we landed this one that were going for 30 – 60K over asking!!! We were able to get ours for the low, low price of 10K over…
So I have a couple questions – the bootcamps; do you do those inside? and you just follow the workout in your … well workout space? And what is an intruder? I get you on the accent thing because Les Mills is based out of New Zealand. it’s hard enough to know what they say but then they have other trainers from all over Asia Pacific and Europe. Today I did a visual ride (instead of with instructors) so I could only hear the cues. I was all over the place 😀
good week for you – why do I feel like we are always saying goodbye to another month??
kookyrunner says
Wow – 30-60K over asking price?! I guess if I were a seller I would love this but as a potential buyer it makes me sad!
Ha – typo on my part – it should have read “instructor” not intruder, LOL! So for the workouts I do those inside – half the class is running on the tread and the other half is a strength workout. I have a clear space behind my treadmill which gives me enough space to do the strength portion of the class.
Renée @runlaugheatpie says
yeah. it’s truly ridiculous here at the moment especially in my neighborhood!
oh ok! instructor! hahaha! nice typo! anyway now I can visualise a bit how you do the class, thanks for that!
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
Wow, you had a great workout week! And yes, we escaped the miserable mid-Atlantic weather just in the nick of time!
kookyrunner says
Glad you were able to enjoy nice weather this past week and weekend!
Liz Dexter says
Love the memes! Our house prices are going terrible, too, although we’re not looking at the moment fortunately. Great sessions this week, well done!
kookyrunner says
thanks so much Liz!
