I'm just about halfway through marathon training and while I'm definitely not feeling burnout like I did the last time, it's slowly creeping in. I'm at the point where I have mild aches, soreness everyday. Also tired. Not in a, I didn't get enough sleep or eat well and I feel sluggish tired. Just...tired. I… Continue reading Halfway There
I referenced these in this post and thought I'd follow up with what they actually are. They're better than a burpee, better than regular old plank rows and better than push ups, squats and overhead presses...because it combines all of them. I can get through burpees easy peasy these days and a 5-6 minute planking series… Continue reading Man Makers
So I have this goal to be able to do 50 push ups in a row. Right now I can eek out 10...sort of. I mean I can do a bunch from my knees but I want to be able to do the "regular" kind. Until I got into strength training my only concern for… Continue reading A push up a day…
I haven't written in a while. May was a sad fitness month for me and I honestly didn't really work out...at all. Maybe once a week if I was lucky. My two favorite instructors left at the end of April/ beginning of May and then my co-worker/workout buddy left shortly after that, and then I… Continue reading I’m Still Here
I'm in a rut. Or a funk. Or something. I don't belong to a gym right now, I have no routine, my training has all but been destroyed and I just feel all around bleh. I want to sit down and figure out a weekly schedule and every time I try it's like I don't… Continue reading Rut
Could it be worse? Sure. Is it something I wanted to happen in the middle of marathon training? No. Long story short, I'm not sure if I'll be able to run the Minneapolis Marathon this June. Right now it really isn't looking good, but I know if I can't I can always do Twin Cities… Continue reading Hamstring Tendinitis
It's been a long while since I've posted. If you follow my Instagram you know that we are now home owners and all weekends have been spent working on the house. Not terribly exciting, but between work being incredibly busy and projects at the house I haven't had much time for anything else. Sadly this… Continue reading Back In Action
It's already time for another 5 things Friday??? This week has gone by strangely fast! 1. Workouts this week have been pretty awesome. I got in workouts Monday -Thursday this week and have my long run tomorrow. My two lunch time classes were great this week as I got to work along side my co-worker… Continue reading 5 Things Friday
Well this week is the first week of marathon training. So far......well it could be better. This weather is starting to get to me, I cannot handle running on the treadmill anymore. I think I'm just going to have to suck it up and brave the cold. I don't think I can handle much more… Continue reading First Week
So I'm pretty late at this year end recap. Also I'm pretty late on blogging at all really. It's like when you don't reply to a phone call or email for a while, and then you just keep putting it off because you don't want the person to be reminded that they emailed or called… Continue reading 2013 In Review
