Wrapping up February

My schedule got all mixed up this week but I think after today I’ll be back to normal. I’ve run 54 miles this month– not bad for such a short month. :) Today was a 3 mile day and it … Continue reading →

Big tub o’ guts

Posted on February 27, 2013 by G

I’m shuffling my workouts around a bit this week, and I did the 35 minute tempo run today instead of yesterday. It went well enough, but I probably pushed a bit harder than I should have. Yesterday I had an … Continue reading →

Not quite…

Posted on February 25, 2013 by G

My schedule is set up so that I do a long run on Saturday, rest day Sunday, and 3 miles on Monday.  Since I did the long run on Sunday instead, I sorely missed that rest day.  (Pun intended.) I … Continue reading →

I put off Saturday’s 6 miler for today, since the weather was poopy yesterday.  Today was a beautiful day though, sunny and warm!  I managed to wear suitable clothing for once– tights, shorts, long-sleeved base layer and tshirt was perfect … Continue reading →

A full complement of lifts

Posted on February 21, 2013 by G

Hooray, it’s Thursday! J and I went to the gym and I did all the lifts. Not all of them were at their old weights or reps, but I did get everything in. Usually I’m alone in the free weight … Continue reading →

Home-cooked meals

And another 3 miles this morning. This one was notable for a good pace and no stops for walking or water. I am pleased about that! After the run I took the time to do some nice stretching– and boy, … Continue reading →

I like intervals.

Posted on February 19, 2013 by G

On today’s schedule: 6x400m intervals. Intervals aren’t so bad! I ran an easy mile to warm up, then attacked them. It went okay– however, even though I used the restroom before I went to run I found myself needing to … Continue reading →

The things I call “fun”

Posted on February 16, 2013 by G

Today was a 5 miler, and I plotted out a new route that had sidewalks— hooray!  A good chunk was along one of the busiest thoroughfares in the county, and I had to stop plenty for driveways and stoplights and … Continue reading →
