Turning

A few weeks ago I thought I’d turned a corner when I went for a run instead of taking a nap in the middle of a weekend afternoon. But then, the next day I found myself choosing lazing over running and realized I hadn’t. It took a few more weeks, and a long weekend in [...]

Finding Time for Fitness

One of the biggest struggles I have right now is finding time for fitness. When I was tri training in 2008 the only constraints I had were work and wedding planning. I knew my social life could go on the back burner (and it did), and on top of that my job was not challenging [...]

The first race!

This morning Mom and I ran the Race to the Holy Grail in Epping, NH. Despite some disorganized communication of where to be and when it was a fun and easy race ending at the Holy Grail restaurant. I had an 8:08 pace and felt it! We started fast and strong. Mom pulled away from [...]

Where I’ve Been

Raising this muffin, and not doing much working out.  HOWEVER!  My new year’s resolution this year: Run a race every quarter ending in a half (The Manchester or Seacoast Half in November).  I miss it, and it is time to start making it a part of my life again. My first race is 3/24 in [...]

Hot Running

So, after PT finished I told myself I’d jump back in, no more excuses.  I didn’t.  The heat, time, long nights, other plans, they all added up.  And then I learned the valuable work out buddy lesson again.  Make plans with friends to work out, and then you know what, you will do it! So, [...]

PT and Running

I’m on my last week of PT.  Besides the having to get up early and get in to work late, it has been great and well worth the time and expense.  Within the first week she had sensed that my pain was most likely coming from a Baker’s cyst.  After reading about it on my [...]

For First Timers

Hey! Very exciting   When I trained for my first one I used this plan: http://www.trifuel.com/triathlon-training/Olympic-Triathlon-Training.php (I cut and pasted the plan and put it in excel to help me track, because I’m anal like that)  It is for an Olympic Distance Tri (1 mile, 15-20 miles and 10k

An Update

I just sent a long email to a friend from High School about training for her first Tri.  It made me very, very nostalgic about the first summer training.  I was so focused, so energized, so committed to training.  I felt great, I was eating great and I was happy.  I didn’t really have much [...]

So, uh, yeah.

I haven’t been training, hence the lack of posting.  I have been working out, but it hasn’t been training work outs.  My injury totally sidelined me and I don’t see the sports medicine doc for another week.  I may try running today or this weekend, as biking and elliptical have gotten easier.  I’ve

Whining

I’m really bummed out about not being able to run right now, and I’m letting it affect my training. I’m not proud about it, but I also am not sure what to do to get myself in gear. I’ve made an appointment with a Sports Medicine Doctor, that’s a step. However, I need to do [...]
