Posted on January 30, 2013 by G

Today I did a long workout and I was hoping it would be mentally therapeutic, since I am worried sick about my mom, who is going in for surgery this afternoon. I’ve decided to take it easy on Damn Foot … Continue reading →

Good questions

Posted on January 29, 2013 by G

I’m kind of sore today in my arms and back and sides and shoulders. Yesterday’s tiny workout was either 1) effective; or 2) harmful, because I hurt. Regardless, I went to the gym and did a 30 minute tempo run … Continue reading →

Struggling with scheduling

Posted on January 22, 2013 by G

This new 5k training schedule collides with my weightlifting schedule: Tuesdays are intervals/tempo runs. Today I did 4x400m intervals, which (including warmup and cooldown) took nearly 30 minutes. After all that, I just did the dumbbell lifts and went to … Continue reading →

Two’s company

Posted on January 21, 2013 by G

My partner and I both had the day off today, and we spent the day together running errands and jeans shopping (quelle horreur).  Once we got home it was getting sort of dark and cold and you know it’s Monday … Continue reading →
