I’m linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons for Thinking Out Loud. The Cowtown was two weeks ago, and I’ve been meaning to put a few thoughts out there ever since (procrastination at its finest). The people I know…aren’t really athletically inclined, for the most part. So, when I tell them I did a… Continue reading TOL: the cowtown race re-cap/positive self talk
Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. I survived the week. This is a huge accomplishment. And I took quite a few pictures. Work was work. I ended up working a short (10-hour) day Wednesday because bad weather/sleet moved in, and we sent the patients home early for… Continue reading week in review: races
Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. It’s been a week. On one hand, that says it all. Just a really long week. Like, I’m just tired. There’s been a lot going on. But, I: -worked around 45 hours at the day job, in 3.5 days. -escaped the… Continue reading week in review: getting by
Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. This week, I… -worked 2 1/2 days at the day job. -finished up all my assignments for the semester. I just have a few discussion board responses left to do, yay! Read Hardcore Twenty-Four (eh), The Rules of Rain (pretty great/will… Continue reading week in review: kicks
Linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons to talk about my running motivation–or lack thereof. Actually, I’m just trying to motivate myself into finishing the other half of my homework and getting a run in, since I was too swamped on Tuesday to run (bad runner, I know). These are the stages of my… Continue reading what my running motivation looks like on any given day
Seriously, y’all. What happened to all my motivation of a year ago? I ran four times a week, I ate healthy, I was totally focused on being healthier. Fast forward to now, and it’s all I can do to finish like 5 things on my to-do list, much less everything. Ha. As if. I’ve been… Continue reading my low-key half-marathon “training plan”…a.k.a. “laziness keeps making me start over”
I need an accountability partner. In my eating choices. My workouts. Life. That’s kind of the point of these posts: I’m basically physically lazy, and if I don’t keep myself accountable, I’ll totally slack off and slop around the apartment. Which is kind of what happened since last fall. I was doing great: running regularly,… Continue reading weekly workouts #4
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
Linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons for this bit of randomness. Okay, not randomness. Not to me. Today, June 1st, is my four-year survival anniversary. Four years ago, I had a major stroke, without warning, and I almost died. The doctors pretty much said I’d die. Fortunately, they weren’t the ones in control.… Continue reading today is for gratitude (thinking out loud)
I finally managed to get in all my planned workouts this week! I’m not doing super intense workouts or anything, But I got them done and didn’t talk myself out of a single one. (That in itself is HUGE.) Just for comparison, I’m also tracking my steps every day. Monday: (worked 14 hours) 11,956 steps… Continue reading weekly workouts
