For the first time since Feb, I raced. I approached a start line on a misty 50 degree morning and I loved it. The last month or two, I’ve been running but its been different. I’ve been running because I should, for the workout, not because I want to or because I love it. [...]

marathon weekend
Posted in running, tagged 5k on April 15, 2012 | 1 Comment »
A few months back, I registered for the BAA 5K. I was excited about the marathon, running, everything.. My plan was run the 5K on Sunday, take the day off Monday and watch the marathon. Its my second Marathon Monday in Boston, but its the first year I really had any interest. Friday afternoon, I left [...]

Sunday afternoon and I finished my final workout for the week. Logged everything into dailymile and realized I *only* ran 10 miles this week. 5 days of workouts, 4+ hours, mix of full body strength & cardio but only 10 miles. It didn’t feel like enough. What’s that about?! So I went out and ran [...]
Bootcamp – week 3 begins

True story, I’m loving bootcamp. I’m completely uncomfortable on the “weight” side of the gym. Yet somehow watching a video of an exercise & heading over there with my lil printout, I can handle it. I’m sure I still look like a lost fool but I’m okay with that. I think having a plan makes [...]

St. Patrick’s Day weekend Green beer, pub crawls, and festive get-ups?! Apparently, I’m old. Part of me says I should be partaking in these activities, like I’m missing out if I don’t. The reality is as much as I love being festive, I had no interest in the holiday this year. Friday night, I had [...]

Week 1 kicked my ass. Goals – 1. Drink 64 oz of water a day – not difficult. Just something I needed to be aware of to get it done 2. get 8 hours of sleep – aside from Atlanta, this was fairly easy. Plan accordingly. Lessons learned – Just because you can run 13 [...]

There are over 300 people in this bootcamp. In the facebook group, not one person has complained about being sore. How is that possible?! I’m in serious pain. I attempted 6 miles today, made it though 4. I’ll take it, but omg legs!! I knew I was going to be hurtin’, but if anything I [...]
new level of tired

I’m sore and its getting worse. Last night’s workout was TOUGH, in a “I can’t believe I’m this weak”, “how is it that I have no balance”, “this is out of control” kind of way. Its been far too long since my body hated me as much as it does today. I’m kinda loving it [...]
