From July 6th of last year to around mid-October, I made huge changes in my diet and exercise routine (which had been mostly slim to none before that). I started running with the Couch to 5k app, cut out processed carbs for the most part, and lost 28 pounds, ran a 5k trail run, and… Continue reading weekly review: the truth hurts
I haven’t run since 12/4. Saw my doctor on the first for a regular appointment, and mentioned the pain I’d been having in my upper right thigh/hip. It was very minor, and I wasn’t overly concerned, but I wanted to mention it. He thought it was probably tendonitis. I ran the 10k that Sunday. On… Continue reading on the injured list
Linking up with Meghan over at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for this one. It’s been like 3 weeks since I’ve posted on here, and a month since I’ve done a Week in Review post. Oops. So, what’s been going on? My staycation went well: I did a deep clean of the apartment, one room per… Continue reading week in review: MIA
It’s been a while since I updated things here. There’s been a lot going on. I didn’t make it to the gym on Tuesday because I had so much homework to do, and that was the only day I had to do it. But I did hit the road for a 6 mile run on… Continue reading weekend workouts #17
Missed some workout this week, which I’m now making up, since I’m on vacation this week (!). Little bit of excitement this weekend: We did the Black Light Run last night and had a blast! Except for that first glow station, where the BFF got hit in the face—which is why she looks like a… Continue reading weekend workouts #16: you glow, girl
Obviously, I didn’t have enough time to update my workouts this week. I did end up going for a run last Sunday afternoon. Outside, on the trails, in the heat. Not fun. My plan stepped up my distance to 3.5 miles this week, at a relatively easy pace. (I think I did most of this… Continue reading this week’s workouts
I woke up this morning with my stomach bothering me, and the BFF was out-of-town last night, so I skipped my run today. 😦 I have so much school stuff/random life stuff to do today, I don’t think I’ll make it for a run later. Maybe, but not super-likely. Yesterday, however, we did hit the… Continue reading weekend workout#14
I ended up having to work today. Not a regular day, but I had to be at my clinic by 9:30, for several hours, so I had to be motivated as soon as I got up. I was. Had my quiet time. Cooked breakfast. Made sure everything I needed was on my laptop. Then I… Continue reading skipping the important bits
First, if you’re even the slightest bit interested in running, beating drug/alcohol abuse, adventure racing, and/or overcoming struggles in your life, you should read Running Man by Charlie Engle. Fantastic read! Review up over on my writing blog. I got a little bit derailed by pizza yesterday, (Okay, a lot derailed), but I’m eating clean… Continue reading breaking the holding pattern
I hit all of my cardio workouts this week! (Missed strength training on Tuesday, but I did add in push-ups yesterday, so that semi-counts, right?) I’m really liking the new My Asics training plan. Like, a lot! I think the intervals in the C25k plan helped me build up to running…but those intervals were using… Continue reading weekend workouts #13
