Easy peasy 30 minute run today through the neighborhood. I was hoping to get to 25 miles this month, but alas, my total is only 22.5 miles. It’s okay– I started off slow this month, but I finished strong. So … Continue reading →

Posted on September 26, 2013 by G

All done! Woo! This set of exercises was sort of a mixed bag; some were super easy and some were still a challenge, even after working on them for 2 months. So it goes. Overall, I’m really happy with my … Continue reading →

Lovely park run

Posted on September 25, 2013 by G

Today is a Perfect Fall Day. I went outside this morning and said, "Hey, why don’t I go down to the park and run? It’s been a while." Oh, it was nice. Perfect temperature, quiet, and the part-rocky, part-squishy trail … Continue reading →

Posted on September 24, 2013 by G

I’d been looking forward to this workout as a Moment of Truth, a summary of my progress. It wasn’t as easy as I had hoped, but I probably should’ve expected that since I was trying to do a zillion reps! … Continue reading →

Compromise

Posted on September 23, 2013 by G

My schedule is all out of whack today– up at 5, at the office at 6, leaving for the dentist at 2:30. Does any of that sound fun at all? (At least I’m done for the day after the dentist, … Continue reading →

Posted on September 20, 2013 by G

Unmotivated run strikes again! Today I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do for a workout. I was still sore and my abdomen was hurty from either guts issues or lady issues, and the elliptical was very tempting, … Continue reading →

Disastrous deadlifts

Posted on September 19, 2013 by G

Ugh. I was so excited today– it was my last workout of this stage, B8– and as I loaded up the bar for deadlift I was like "YEAH! Gonna do this!" I put 145lb on there, figuring I would do … Continue reading →

Unneeded approval

Posted on September 18, 2013 by G

Recovery run today, another ~2.4 mi in ~31 minutes. I’m afraid it’s the time of year when I start kicking myself for not buying a running jacket in the summer when they were on sale– it was barely 50 degrees … Continue reading →

A8 in the bag!

Posted on September 17, 2013 by G

Today I was comforted by the fact that today was my Last Workout A EVER. (Well, minus the special AMRAP next week. But that doesn’t count.) It was a comfort because today’s workout was dang hard and I was sorely … Continue reading →
