I began the morning with a half hour of pilates. I think my abs are revolting against the work. I was feeling ab attack from last night. I finished my pilates and made a protein shake for breakfast. After work I went to fc and did 45min on the treadmill, at a tempo pace. I just have to say, thank God for music, or the treadmill would be unbearable. After my run I went to 1745 … [Read more...]
Trainer, Treadmill, Repeat
November 18, 2008 By
I skipped a lunch workout today. I really had no motivation. The temperature was 40+, the sun was out, and no wind. I missed a great opportunity to get outside. I will probably look back on this day in a month or so and wonder what the hell I was thinking.... So after work, I decided to do a quick 1 hour workout. I put in my Spinervals 10.0 - Ride and Stride (The Ultimate 'Brick' … [Read more...]
Just call me Popeye

Yeah! It's a Tuesday, and I got out of work on time! I was able to make it to 1730 ab attack at fc. I have not done this class in a while, but my abs held up through the class. We used the small medicine ball to do our planks. That was tough! After abs I went to the pool. I did a straight 1 mile swim. The water seemed exceptionally warm and salty tonight. If anyone says you don't sweat … [Read more...]

If feet are not your fetish do not read further. This could get ugly for some of you. Secondary to my multiple injuries this past year I have met my out-of-pocket maximum for health care expenses for the year. So everything beyond this point is "free". I have had foot problems off and on for many years but since I have increased my running mileage the pain seems to be getting … [Read more...]

My Monday long run was an impossibility today, but I made the best of the day. I took the kids to school, and set out for a 7 mile run. The weather has been mild thus far, but this morning it was a cool 38 degrees. It's time to break out the tights, the gloves, the hats etc. I wore a pair of tights, long sleeve dry wicking shirt, a vest, a hat and gloves. It's tuff getting back into … [Read more...]

Dan drug me out of the house today for a 7.5 mile run. The weather was difficult to figure out as during sunshine it was warm but when the clouds were dominant it was cool. I opted for tights, and 3 light shirts. It was good to get out of the house and breath a little. I have been working on the outside of the house the past few weekends and needed some time to vent. Dan and I … [Read more...]
Speed play

"The sun is up, the sky is new, it's beautiful and so are you. Dear Prudence" To quote the Beatles, the sun was out today, so couldn't pass up run outside. With the Jingle Bell run next weekend, I thought it would be a good idea to get some speed work in. I bundled up the kids and we started a run to the track. Well, Reily rode his scooter, and B ran with me... most of the way. Its about … [Read more...]

The temps were in the 30's and I was not ready to brave the weather, maybe on Sunday. So I broke out the trainer, stability ball and dumbells to enjoy working out with about 15 girls and Coach Troy Jacobson. You have probably read my stories before abou this workout, but this time I dissected the dvd so you could see exactly what goes into the workout. I really like these dvds from … [Read more...]
Blurred Vision

You know it's time for a new pair of goggles when the strap breaks when you put them on and it looks like taffy instead of rubber, from the chlorine. This happened when I put on my TRY socket rockets this morning, so I had to run back into the locker room and switch out goggles. I bought a new pair of TRY's in Gulf Shores. I jumped back in the pool and started my swim. There was a class … [Read more...]
