Even though I haven’t had a gym membership in 3.5 years, in DC I had access to a small gym at my office. I tended to do my strength training there since it had a wide variety of dumbbell and barbell weights, plus a few machines I liked. I also did a lot of cross-training [...]

A foot of snow means…
Working from home, in my sweats with a dog on my lap.
Making my favorite breakfast. Having an occasion to wear all my new ski clothes. With the prices of this stuff, I want get as much use as I can. Taking a walk with a [...] Most of my running in Denver has been around a lake by my house (Sloan’s lake). I have a nice 3.5 mile loop that takes me through my neighborhood to the lake. It’s nice to see the mountains, the water and the wildlife. I’m not crazy about the geese (I feel like they’re going [...] I finally have a marathon training plan! Can you sense my excitement?? Clearly, I’m a girl that needs some direction in my life. My coach at Runner’s Edge sent a training plan for my goal race (The Colfax Marathon) with 5 different training levels. They differ by goals and by experience, from wanting to [...] I’m not computer illiterate by any means, but I had a lot of difficulty moving my blog to the new site. I haven’t been blogging because all of my non-work computer time has been spent figuring this out! Anyways, it’s done and I hope you like the new site.

After all, my half marathon PR still stands from my first half in 2008 – about a year after I started running! I researched [...] This post is a first in a series about some of my favorite Rock Creek Park trails. Please click here for more information. Trail name: Deer Mountain Highlights of this trail: deer sightings, feeling cool running over a fallen tree, no horses allowed. Cons of this trail: fear of falling when running over [...] I mentioned that during the period of my life known as “moving hell” I did not work out much AT ALL. I really hate feeling so out of shape. I miss my 8-10 hour workout weeks. But I’m not stupid enough to go from a week of no workouts straight back into high intensity [...] A few months ago, I started reading the Thrive cookbook by vegan Ironman Brandon Brazier. It’s a really great cookbook with some delicious vegan recipes. Coincidentally Vega Sport, which is Brazier’s line of products, contacted me around that time to review their Sports Performance System.* I received a package from Vega filled with gels, bars [...] Week one in Denver has been pretty friggin’ awesome. I’ve had fun with friends (so happy that fellow former DC blogger Lauren is here!), explored parks and the biggest dog park you have ever seen, and started a fun, new job. It has a completely different culture than my old company, in all the [...] |
