Happy 2011! Yesterday I finished out my 2010 with a 3.6 mile run. Then last night we had some friends over. We had a similar small-ish gathering at our house last year (10-15 people) and it has become my new favorite way to ring in the new year. I’m still hoping to have the energy [...]

I’m still adjusting to working out without a training plan for the first time in an entire year. The time I am spending working out has definitely dropped since the race. Since I track all my workouts, I know that I have spent significantly less time getting exercise in November than the last few months [...] Soon after my stress fracture, I signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon. I had been devastated that I couldn’t run my marathon. Signing up for the Marine Corps Marathon was a way for me to make myself feel better – that it was OK because I would run a marathon in the fall. However, [...] Aside from an open water swim, one of the “supposed to’s” of triathlon training is doing a brick workout, so that you are used to the sensation of running after a bike ride. I would have done this sooner if I had been able to run. Tonight I decided to do a quick and short [...] I started writing a wedding weekend recap post, but then I realized I left my camera at home. D’oh! So I will post that later today or this evening. I had an amazing weekend and can’t wait to share it with you all. I have basically put triathlon training on hold since my bike fall [...] I had big plans for Sunday: do an open water swim, go to a blogger meet-up, go on a bike ride and do a bunch of wedding stuff. And all of this the day after driving to and from a wedding in New York. While I was driving back my cuts were hurting me [...] Yesterday was a glorious rest day. My muscles are mostly recovered from the boot camp and I’m ready to get a good workout in today. Aside from watching Lost and being lazy in general, I did some veggie prep for the week. Some of the easiest ways to stay healthy are to 1 – cook [...] Remember that sprint triathlon I signed up for? I still have plenty of time to prepare (it’s June 27th) but it’s time for me to get serious about training. I’m going to edit my training plan tonight, on account of the fact that I still can’t run. Also, I need to bump up my swimming. [...] Is it crazy to plan out my workouts from now until October 31st?? The answer: yes. But what I put together is just a guide. I’m very flexible when things come up to switch things around. The reason I have workouts planned until Halloween is that training for the Sprint Tri will start this weekend, [...] More races Since I can’t run for 2 months I’m already mapping out a new training plan. I really loved training for the marathon. Every week that I got stronger, I felt more accomplished and closer to my goal. Although I didn’t quite make the goal, I’m trying to focus on the positive and be [...] |
