Highlights from this week in training.
Currently I am not sure if I am training for Bryce Canyon half marathon, getting ready for Jacksonville Bank Marathon, or just maintaining…. I’ve been kind of doing whatever workouts I have and enjoying them very very much. Last week I had 28 running miles. This week I managed 29.5. SO far on both …
Monday Blues
I am trying to continue to be 100% focused on my training and my goals, which is proving to be a bit difficult…As Skeletor said…”It will come and go” Work has turned into this big horrible nasty Ball of knotted up Yarn that is going to take some time to unravel.. Luckily, I got …
Marathon Training Day 12.
Thursday.Kind of a strange day for me. I actually was unable to sleep on Wednesday night mostly because the disaster of the meeting and life in general was completely replaying through my head. I did eventually get some sleep but it wasn’t as much as I would have liked. So Thursday, I kind of drifted …
Marathon Training Day 7.
Much easier than the Yasso’s I actually had myself all kind of tired out because I thought it was an hour swim, a 30 min run and 1.5 hrs on the bike. When I looked again at the plan, it was…NO RUN. Just the swim and Bike. Turns out I was tired. I stayed up …
Thankful
So my plan today said, “5 k run for fun.” Thats all it said. I decided it meant a race. And Skeletor was alright with that. He told me to run it for fun, not to Kill myself with it. I said, Yeah yeah…but I was hoping to PR, badly, even though it was for …
And the journey continues…..(As I grow gills)
Today was a new day. I got up at 4:10, walked the dog, paid my very overdue bill of 21.14….for which my apartment manager has been sending multiple requests. It concerns me that they need my 21.14 that badly. Because I anticipated this to be a tough day, I at yogurt. I’m a big fan …

Swim and Spin Saturday. and the future.
Today was an easy day. I woke up tired. So after I walked the dog, I went back to sleep and engaged in some serious REM action. I had the wildest dreams. Mostly about visiting a friend’s daughter at her college, losing my laptop, and trying to find my way to where the lost laptop …
Pool day, suddenly not so easy.
WHEW! Today was weights and swim 40 mins. So I got up nice and early and did a bang up job on the weights. I was squatting, and lunging, and calf raising, and Ham string curling with the best of them. In fact, I was actually sweating and catching my breath a bit, which is …
over train/Under train…
Saw Skeletor briefly on Wednesday. I’ve been a good little Do-Be and have just been doing the workouts as written and not asking any questions. I’ve been able to maintain good focus on the sessions, and am about half way to where I should be on Nutrition. My Massage Therapist tried to give me …
