Unguarded Thoughts: Don’t be gross

Seems I’ve forgotten how ridiculous Facebook posts can be. Like this one. Totally stupid. … More Unguarded Thoughts: Don’t be gross

September 7, 2016: HR Training Check-in
September 8, 2016
Reporting in on day 10 of the AMR Heart Rate Training Excellent Half Marathon Plan. Today I covered more ground in 60 minutes at 140bpm (actually 136 bmp) than ever before on this plan. I’m pretty stoked. And I did this in spite of feeling a little under the weather – I actually went home … More September 7, 2016: HR Training Check-in
September 6, 2016: My HR training journey begins (well, it began about a week ago)
September 6, 2016
In which I continue to whine about not getting into Boston, the many training plans I’ve run, and how I now have the nerve to complain that I get to run slow. … More September 6, 2016: My HR training journey begins (well, it began about a week ago)
August 1: HR training fail…
August 1, 2016
So today was supposed to be my first day officially on an HR plan (although the “real” plan doesn’t start for 4 weeks). So I went out for 45 minutes at 14bpm and, of course, my Garmin wouldn’t display my heart rate. I kept restarting the run but no luck. I could only see my … More August 1: HR training fail…
June 13, 2016: About that fast day
June 13, 2016
It’s funny how knowing you cannot have something or do something makes you want that something so much more. So much more it hurts… Just wanted to post a quick thought about yesterday, which was my first day on the Every-Other-Day Diet. (The book is a very easy read, by the way, and describes a … More June 13, 2016: About that fast day
June 12, 2016: I need to drop this bowling ball
June 12, 2016
And by bowling ball, I mean this excess 10lbs I’m carrying around. Why? Because I’ve gained a solid 5lbs from my last, never-ending marathon training cycle. And I wanted to be 5lbs lighter than that to begin with. So…while I’m still in this wonderful fog of “will I, won’t I” go for another fast marathon … More June 12, 2016: I need to drop this bowling ball
June 10, 2016: I need to care about my stink
June 10, 2016
After Mountains2Beach I took a week off from work and spent ALOT of time on the couch with various icepacks covering my many broken parts. I didn’t go out. I didn’t see anyone. I mean, my husband and kids were home, but we are all on the introverted side so we all tend to find … More June 10, 2016: I need to care about my stink
June 5, 2016: Switching gears and goals
June 5, 2016
I’ve been pretty introspective this week, following my craptacular performance at the Mountains2Beach marathon, my breathtaking, mid-race stumble and, of course, my painful hamstring. I’d taken this week off because I expected to be exhausted from what I’d hope would be an all out effort. Instead, I’ve been sitting on the couch with ice on my … More June 5, 2016: Switching gears and goals
