It’s been about a month since I last talked about my workouts and how Bodyrock was going since starting it in early February so I figured I’d do some recaps and progress reports today. Also, I’m sort of ADD with my workouts so I’ll tell you what I’m thinking is next… First of all, Bodyrock …
At the risk of sounding completely cliché posting about my favorite workouts on January 2nd, I promise this has nothing to do with resolutions, diets, fads, or “new beginnings” (although, more power to you if that’s the journey you’re embarking on today. You can do it!) and more so just because I thought it was …
So who was glued to their TV or computer yesterday watching the NYC marathon? <—ME! I watched the coverage for the first time last year and can guarantee that if I wasn’t already into running, I would’ve been after that. I’m seriously amazed by those runners who can run 26 miles at an average pace …
What a weekend! I think we’re currently getting our “payback” for never losing power during Hurricane Irene this summer because we’re still without it this morning. The worst part is that the utility company’s website says “power has been restored to your area” when in fact that is one big LIE! I hate sitting here …
Another week down another training recap coming at ya! First, let’s do the catch up thing. Here’s what you missed if you were being a slacker this weekend. On the road granola bars <—a great easy homemade snack option Vegetable barley chili <—a spicy fall must ******* Week 5…Like many of you said, the lack …
On to week 3 of training. It’s starting to feel “real!” Philly half training: week 1 Philly half training: week 2 The plan for last week: Reality: Almost exactly as planned. Monday: The day I almost had a panic attack at the bike trail. Got to the beginning of the trail, get all my gear …
Week 2 of training is officially done, 8 more to go! Philly half training: week 1 I almost feel like weeks 1 and 2 were more like “pre-training.” Long runs of 5 and 6 miles are barely “long” enough to make training feel legit to me. A 7 miler planned for later today though finally …
Sometimes I struggle to figure out how to balance my food/recipe posts with my running/workout posts during the week. So, as I train for the Philadelphia half marathon at the end of November, I’ve decided to use Monday’s post as the weekly round-up of my workouts and how I stuck (or didn’t) to the training …
I bet you thought I dropped the program huh? It’s been almost 8 weeks since my NROLFW stage 1 update when I told you I’d be back in 4 weeks with an update on stage 2. Oops. I did have a few setbacks during this stage though, namely a pesky back injury, flooded basement episode …
This trip is turning out to be quite the foodie adventure. Yesterday’s meals included tri-tip tacos for lunch, self-serve frozen yogurt and a Thai feast for dinner. All of which made up for the fact that I missed breakfast. We had a late meeting so I used the time in the morning to get my …
