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 [...]

While most people made new year’s resolutions last week, the change from 2011 to 2012 is not as momentous to me as the change from DC to Denver. (By the time you are reading this, we’ll be on the road!). Here are some goals I have for the upcoming year in my new town. Try [...] Remember after the Chicago Marathon I said I wanted to do some low-pressure, fun races? Then remember how I instead spent my weekends drinking too much and sleeping too little? Well, I finally registered for some races. In fact, I’ll be ending 2011 with a bang with 4 races in a row. Here is [...] Are you sick of me talking about Chicago yet? Well I’m sick of thinking about it. My next post about it will hopefully be the race recap and then we can all move on with our lives, deal? This entire week I’ve been a bundle of nerves and excitement. I distinctly remember last year during [...] The end of August has meant gorgeous weather around these parts. It’s almost cool enough in the mornings to bike to work in my work clothes (no sweat). August was a busy month for me. I was out 3 out of 4 weekends (wedding, camping, wedding). I didn’t quite make my goals for the month: [...] Even though I “officially” started marathon training over 2 months ago, it hasn’t felt like I’ve been training that long. I have been so focused on triathlon training and cycling that running has seemed almost secondary. It feels weird to say considering I’ve already gotten up to 18 miles for my long run. I’ve [...] That blog title is something I never thought I would say. Ever. Usually, my only motivation to practice swimming is a fear of drowning in the triathlon to get the swim portion of a triathlon over with as quickly and painlessly as possible. But yesterday, instead of taking a rest day, I decided to hit [...] I hesitated on whether or not to post about our moving hopes plans. Although I’ve told family and close friends, posting it on the Internet for anyone to see makes it real. Which is both exciting and scary. But since so many people seem interested, here goes nothing. Both Neil and I grew up in [...] Like I said earlier this week, the main goal of this triathlon is to HAVE FUN. It shouldn’t be hard considering I have friends doing the race too (Amy, Lauren, Chloe and Steph). But I’m also going to put some goals for each section out there. The Swim If you’ve been reading this blog [...] One of the best things about keeping a detailed training log is looking back and seeing how things differ between training cycles and figuring out what works best. The last two weeks have been much higher than I’m used to, and I’m definitely feeling it! Last week was particularly tough because both days of [...] |
