So this was a bit chillier than I had hoped for. The maximum temperatures of the day were supposed to be in the 40s, but the day started around 22°F. I set out in the morning from my apartment at around 6:30 AM. A lot earlier than I’m used to on my run days, when … More On the Run!
Well, that didn’t exactly go as planned! I had high hopes for my long run Saturday, but those quickly shattered. I didn’t get much sleep the night before (3 hours) and I spent all day on a farm before setting out for my run at around 7 pm at night in Virginia. I started my … More A Little Down Time!
We are down to 60 days on the countdown! This means there are less than 2 months between me and the start line. This is starting to get really scary. I’ve been keeping the anxiety at bay by remarking how far away the event is, but that just isn’t going to do it any longer … More New Milestones!
This weeks long run was a cut back run. Instead of staying at 18 miles, I dropped to 16 miles. I also happened to be in Bridgewater, so I switched up gyms. This means I had to manually add in my hills and speed work. I’m not like most runners. My issues will never be “not … More Fun in the Snow!
NOT AGAIN! Life certainly has been getting in the way of my posting lately! Luckily it hasn’t been getting in the way of training. Last week I completed speed training and biked on the recumbent bike (gotta work those glutes!). I got to see the “Revenant” Friday night, and I don’t want to get down … More Time for a Break!
Well, I’m trying to update more regularly, but life is certainly trying it’s best to get in the way! The week itself, after a busy start, was overall slow. Now comes the problems. My work switched insurance companies beginning on the first of the year. My prescription is an expensive therapy, but it’s obviously EXTREMELY … More Haters gonna Hate
I apologize for the delay! This week has been an utter whirlwind. I wanted to post Monday, but I caught some type of virus or cold. I got out of bed very late with a pounding head. I thought maybe I just hadn’t gotten enough sleep, it happens. I soon learned this was not the … More So far So Good!
I had a lot to learn between my long runs! The first thing I took myself to task on was my diet. I upped my calorie intake on MyFitnessPal, and I put my scale into the trunk of my car. This has helped alleviate some of my OCD so that I don’t end up starving … More Mischief Managed!
Brrrrrr! I hope everyone is staying warm and enjoying the first full week of the year! I finished the holidays the day after Christmas driving with my dad down to New Jersey to drop my grandparents off after their visit. Well, you risked our lives but you DID get us from an arrival time of … More Learning Experiences!
Merry Christmas to all my readers and their families. I am down in Duxbury enjoying a fantastic Christmas with my grandparents, parents, brother and sister-in-law. When they are awake. Christmas Eve was filled with good food (too much) and good beer (too much). I also am fighting a sinus cold that is not being too … More Merry Christmas to All!
