It’s been a bit of a long road… But after taking my initial training module in July, Then waiting for gym-specific training in September, And waiting our turn to Shadow and Team Teach, Going away for two weeks, And returning to unexpectedly learn that I could clear RIGHT AWAY (due to some scheduling changes at […]
It’s Nov. 20…so I have exactly 1 day before I’m a month behind on Weekly Workout Round-Ups (except now, in the time between draft and publication, it became Nov. 21 in Singapore. I’m officially a month behind). Thankfully, I have a pretty detailed workout log and my photos to help me recall each day, plus […]
I had to look at the calendar – twice – to remind myself that last week was really just the second week after my 50K. My legs felt…awesome. I was doing much more cross-training than running, but BodyPump and RPM (indoor cycling) aren’t exactly gentle on the legs. Here’s what happened: Monday: RPM Also, I […]
In the spirit of staying up-to-date and organized (See: Order On The Blog!), here’s the scoop on last week’s workouts. Do note that this was my first taper week for The North Face 50K on Oct. 5th. Monday: BodyPump Tuesday: Run (6 mi) I joined KMN for his tempo run in the morning. Since I […]
In case you missed my last post, I’ve suspended other posts until I catch up on my Weekly Workout Round-Ups. If you’re uber-curious about what my workout weeks look like, they are all Categorized under 2013 Weekly Workout Round-Up (two vacation weeks end June/early July are missing – I’m working on those, too). But for […]
I spent almost 24 hours in a Fitness First gym this weekend. My results? LOTS of sweaty clothes… At least 50 repeats of Danny Byrd’s “Daydreamer”… [And we’re all daydreaming now – dun, dun, dun – dun, dun, dun!] More bottles refills than I care to count… [You know your sweat glands work in overdrive when the […]
So, in addition to holding out on the marathon news, one of the *other* things I neglected to share with you in advance were my plans for this weekend. Essentially, I’ll be making lots of work for myself on Monday: Normally, my plans wouldn’t be particularly notable, really (I’m usually running, cleaning, and hanging out […]
Fortunately, today is Friday (for me!). Unfortunately, I totally got up on the wrong side of the bed yesterday morning. [Does anyone else think the use of ‘on’ is weird in this phrase?] Fortunately, both feet still hit the floor before any other body part, so no injuries were incurred. [And our bed, according to all […]
I like order, organization, and a schedule just as much as (nah, probably more than) the next girl. But about 2 weeks ago, I started having a feeling that my days were getting too set, too scheduled…too predictable. I wasn’t going new places or trying new things, I was just hanging out happily and comfortably […]
I intended to go out for my run first thing Tuesday morning. My good intentions were foiled when I made the mistake of opening my computer while my Garmin located its satellites (which, for some reason, takes twice as long here as it did in LA or Rochester. ?????). An hour later, I was finally ready to […]
