Race Report: Sun Runner’s 10K Vero Beach, FL
I have not run a race in so long I’m having a hard time even writing my race report. Well. Lets start off with saying Vero Beach, Fl…Sounds kind of like Viera…but isn’t the same. I thought they were close. No, no they are not. So I signed up for this race, and only the …
Transition Tuesday Yet again
Yesterday was Transition Tuesday. It was a tough day at work. I am feeling kind of exhausted and very concerned about how things are going at work. Work lately dominates my mind, which is not a great thing. But I do have one of those career things, rather than a “job” so it’s kind of …
Wednesday…banished the grumpies.
Wow. It was BRISK this morning. 38 degrees. I was pretty darn snug in my bed. Seriously. I felt like a toasty cinnamon bun. I wanted to sleep more, but I was awake. I had had a very realistic, yet insane dream and I spent my first 10 minutes of awake time, laying in …
End of Week Recap
What a FANTASTIC week of training. I really really had fun. This was probably due to lower miles, and being back in my home gym, but whatever. It was also a week of BIKE shopping. Whew, what a hassle. I shopped Craig’s List daily, several times daily when I wasn’t at work. I looked all …
Home again Home again Jiggity Jig.
I found this past week to be a difficult one for exercise. How did everyone else fare with exercise over the Holidays? All the Travel, and Kids, and Food…and cold weather! I traveled to the frozen North to spend Christmas with my parents, my sister and her rather enormous extended family. (Upstairs Stockings/downstairs Tree) My …
Coaching update.
I’ve been posting a ton lately, so folks I’m sorry. This is in part, because I’ve been injured and just hanging around a lot and thinking a lot, so a lot of gibberish comes out here. Today though was CRAZY. I went to swim/spin. I admit I wasn’t really in a super mood. It’s a …
Why I Luuurve working with a coach continuation of the injury saga.
So I have tweaked out my back. It sucks a lot. But, I’m actually feeling pretty lucky. Why. Typically this is how a back injury works for folks. You experience pain. If it is only kind of severe, you self-treat with anti-inflammatories, heat and ice, rest…maybe Vodka if you are inclined! When that doesn’t …
Week in review.
Since Wednesday things have improved quite a bit. I was not feeling 100% well. My legs were doing OK, but my mind was really in a bad place. I knew this was all my deal, so I fought it tooth and nail, which is actually VERY hard to do. There is a reason that depressed …
Who is the Coach?
What a week of lessons. I was really excited to run the Lighthouse Loop Half Marathon this Sunday. I mean REALLY excited. I have not raced in a long time. I wanted to get out there and I wanted to see what I could do with a bit of rest. The weather was slated to …
Speedy Friday
So rolled out of bed on Friday feeling really really concerned about the track workout. I have had a mental issue with the track workout since March. I was so freaked out by it last week that when it showed up on the plan, I took it to the treadmill. The TM workout went well, …
