I decided to try to use the HCOTF calendar so I added slow flow Yoga yesterday after my ride and just did 10 min core with Rad and 10 min G&L with him as well. I’m in terrible shape 🥵 so I don’t know if I can do another 20 minutes of lower body at the moment. I’ll hopefully add a ride this evening though. B: Super big coffee, I’m terrible at breakfast. L: Homemade Ramen S: Currently sitting at the kitchen table eating an Orange and regretting many life decisions. budders said she just does the two ten minute strength workouts from HCOTF, the core and whatever the other one is for the day. I thought this was an excellent strategy. The whole HCOTF workout is too much for me. Yes filingjointly I pick and choose what works for me by the day, and don't do the calendar every day. If it's a running day, I skip the calendar. Other days, I'll do a 10-20 min ride on the bike and then try to do the core workout plus the 10 min body part workout for the day. I'll also use the workout from a different day if I need to skip legs for that day, etc. For example, today I only had 20 min to workout, so I only did the 10 min core from the HCOTF calendar. I also tacked on a 10 min low impact ride and used my light weights to do my own arms exercises while I rode to kill two birds with one stone.

Howdy. This morning I squeezed in a 20 minute recovery ride with Emma before my MIL came to watch the kids. I just spent a few hours in my classroom unpacking, organizing, and repapeeing bulletin boards. I got embarrassingly sweaty, lol. I have a 30 minute yoga stacked still for tonight to wrap up an active recovery day. Food is meh. Had a protein bar and Starbucks oatmilk brown sugar latte for breakfast. I just snarfed down a chipotle chicken avocado sandwich and baguette from Panera, and dinner tonight by request from the girls is a Mexican place. I'll get a quesadilla with grilled chicken, black beans, and sauteed veggies. It's Griswold the dog's birthday today too. He turns 10, so there will be cake in my day too. Happy birthday to Griswold! We always have a party for our dog's bday. We sing the song, give him presents, and make a treat for him and delicious cake or cupcakes for the humans.

To add to the Peloton gossip Ben and Leanne are engaged!! So sweet. Ally’s wedding looked amazing. Sorry non Peloton people!! Anyway workout done. I’ve been so stressed and not motivated but a workout helped. 30 minute ride and 10 minute legs/glutes. Food has been awful. Meh. I saw this in one of my Peloton groups and I had no idea that Ben and Leanne were even together! So sweet!

Sorry for spamming the thread as I catch up.
I ran 2 miles yesterday and it was not as easy as it should have been. I really think that running midday is throwing off my endurance, my heart rate spikes so much faster in the heat and I get completely fatigued almost immediately. Summer school ends next week and then I'll be able to switch to morning-but-not-crack-of-dawn runs, so hopefully that will work better for my body. I seem to be in an autoimmune flare right now too, because I am constantly exhausted, never rested, and I'm so much more achy and sore than usual. So just trying to do enough to stay active but not push too hard and make it worse.
I do think I'm going to pass on the half in October, I think I'd rather spend the time now on the bike and weight training vs. the frequent and long runs I would need to do. I think I'll look for a half in the spring to work toward when I am hopefully feeling stronger and my body is able to handle it better.

Happy birthday goldenbird! I’ve been working out in the evenings after kids go to bed, which is my least favorite time but it’s all I’ve got right now. Yesterday, I did a 30 minute run+ (I put on a 30 minute peloton run but then kept going to get some extra distance). I am slightly annoyed at my running route - I have a monstrous hill at the beginning of it and I can’t quite make it up yet (it takes more than 5 minutes to run/walk it and the incline is insane) so it really throws off my average pace. But other than that hill, my pace was decent considering my consistency in running has been abysmal. Not where I want to be but major progress - I had negative splits and my last mile was under 9 minutes!Progress! Today I had a 45 minute PZ class and it was tough. Zones 4 and 5. But I did it. Goals for tomorrow are running and strength.

There is this NYC Runs Brooklyn half on April 24th. (I’m signed up for the full.) Just sayin’ www.thebrooklynmarathon.com

Some pictures from Ben and Leanne's engagement: What a gorgeous setting! They are adorable together and I'm sure the wedding will be a banger. Yes, I had to.

I saw one with Alex, I think he was there just not in as many photos. And Hannah C and Jess Sims and DJ John Michael were there, and the former Peloton instructor who left under questionable circumstances for maybe fat-shaming? Oh yeah I forgot I saw one with Jess Sims. I am guessing they had to keep some people back for coverage on classes. We didn't see Matt or Denis either right? Or Christine, Kendall, Olivia? So I read this elsewhere, but look at Kendall’s last two posts on IG…one of her tbt pics to a vacation in Mexico saying it’s her favorite spot and the next one about snakes with the caption “only snakes in my circle are the real ones” and keeping your circle small. Then Olivia commented on that one, too. What I was reading said this was subtle shade for not being invited to the wedding. Even some of the comments on that IG posts are saying the same, but who knows. 😬

There is some definite shade in there. It's no coincidence that the instructors not at the wedding were the ones to chime in. Yikes.

I just enjoy them all so much that I don't like thinking of them being shady or sketch with each other, lol. I have noticed that the crew Jess K tends to hang with is Andy, Adrian, Denis, Robin, Rebecca, DJ John Michael and Cody. So it makes sense that most of those instructors might be in a "different" group that hangs together. I still would like to believe that part of it was related to work too though. Like Peloton probably wouldn't let their entire front facing team to have a full week off, ya know? (Aside from the international instructors of course)

But also, that party crowd is a LOT for *waves hands* the world rn I was thinking that but they are also at a private resort that, when I googled, seems very small so I am willing to bet they rented the whole area out. It's still a lot of people but I am guessing they are all vaccinated or took a lot of tests. That's what I'm choosing to believe anyway lol because I don't want to believe that Ally would be dumb enough to allow unvaxxed people at her big party.

I also imagine most of this was planned before the huge Delta surge and it was either hope for the best or be out a ton of money. Like all the rest of us I bet decisions were weighed carefully. I bet most if not all the guests were vaxxed.

I bet most if not all the guests were vaxxed. Yeah she got engaged in the fall or winter right? So she probably found this place 6 or more months ago before Delta was really a thing. I don't know what her H does but she's got a lot of money working for Peloton and the NBA so I wouldn't be surprised if she paid for all of the guests too.

So after reading here I had to go check out Kendall’s posts (thanks notexactly for sharing), agree, shade definitely being thrown. On the one hand I get it, nobody likes to be left out. But I also think it’s immature of Kendall to handle it this way. Do I think Ally could have had an elaborate wedding in NYC and included all local instructors? Sure. Was Ally entitled to the wedding of her dreams in Mexico? Absolutely! During a pandemic? I’m not so sure. It’s complicated and my own feelings are conflicted…as with everything since 2020. I’m trying to give space for that. Most of me just wants all the instructors to be best buds because that’s the narrative I need right now.

I don't Peloton, but are all the instructors in the same location? It would be weird if they were all invited...I mean, ultimately they are co-workers and some you get along with more than others, I suppose.

All of the US instructors are located in NYC because that is where their studio is that they create content from. UK instructors are in London area, I think?

There are two in Germany and a handful in London. I believe there is an Australian studio in the works.

I did it, 14 treadmill miles done. The last three were woof, but I'm done. I do a variety of peloton runs for these long treadmill stints to try and not get bored. I did 45 minute intervals with Wilpers, 30 minute hip hop with Selena, 30 minute house run with Jess King, and 45 minute hip hop run with Adrian, because I like ending with eye candy. I also stopped with about 8 minutes left in the last run because I hit my mileage and noped right off the treadmill.
I did my favorite 10 minute Robin stretch afterwards and I'll do some yoga tonight. Likely one of my favorite stretchy ones I keep bookmarked plus a short hip one, because my right hip is once again angry at me.
Food has been and will be on point, minus leftover cake. Because I can.

Oh heyyyyyyy August!!
Wtf happened to July?! It’s been crazy and I’ve been so scattered. Moving out of state is a beast. I’ve been off every single routine and I feel it.
I did a very few self meditations and little else.
We’re finally back home and I’m determined to enjoy our short time left here. Today I did my morning quiet routine and then made donuts. Will try and either go to the pool or go for a walk.
Overall August goals: survive.
