Positively drained

Posted on February 27, 2015 by G

I don’t think I’ve gone about this week’s training schedule the right way. Today’s run was the 4th day in a row that I’ve ran, and my body is letting me know that it’s not really cool with all of … Continue reading →

Running on ice!

Posted on February 26, 2015 by G

We got more snow this morning and were given the option to work at home, and so I did (mostly because there was a really unpleasant meeting scheduled– and it was cancelled because everyone was teleworking…) It wasn’t much snow, … Continue reading →

Intervals and new shoes

Posted on February 25, 2015 by G

6x400m intervals today. It’s funny; I enjoy the fast, hard workouts a lot more than the 3 mile "junk miles" placeholders. Today’s run was not spectacular and the fast parts weren’t even all that fast, but the intervals broke up … Continue reading →

Discontent foments revolution

Posted on February 24, 2015 by G

My mood is sensationally poopy today, and I had hoped that a plain ol’ easy run would help. Not really! Now I just have less energy to be all aggro. But I finished the run (3 miles on the treadmill, … Continue reading →

Save the last dance

Posted on February 23, 2015 by G

Sigh. Another Monday run scrapped due to weather. Well, I can make it up through the week, and I fit in a bout of Dance Central– not too long though, I was trying to cook dinner while dancing. (Dinner was … Continue reading →

Long runs and fat acceptance as civil rights

Posted on February 20, 2015 by G

I’m just going to turn this into a complaining-about-the-weather blog, ok? It was 2 degrees (yes, Fahrenheit) this morning. The general consensus is that no one should leave their house and we should all have the day off so we … Continue reading →

Looking on the bright side?

Posted on February 19, 2015 by G

It feels like nothing is going right today… my train was super late so I waited out in the cold for an hour and and totally missed yoga class, and I’ve lost the tiny labret screw back of an earring. … Continue reading →

Tempo 10s

Posted on February 18, 2015 by G

My running schedule for this week is all borked, and I ran Tuesday’s hard run today: a 30 minute tempo run. Better to skip an easy 3 miler than a fast run, right? Besides, tempo runs are great! They’re just … Continue reading →

Too cold for me

Posted on February 17, 2015 by G

Today is a snow day, so I’m at home working. (Hooray for a job that lets me telework I guess, but it means I never really get a snow day ever again.) My partner tells me that the roads are … Continue reading →

A somewhat better run

Posted on February 13, 2015 by G

I’m still pretty sore, but today’s run went better than I expected. I finished 3 miles on the treadmill in 38 minutes and felt pretty good, especially in a cardio sense. Theoretically I ought to be running another 3 miles … Continue reading →
