Today’s scheduled run was a 1.5 mile recovery run, a nice and slow plod on the treadmill. My calves are starting to give me a little grief; they’re awfully tight lately. After that 1.5 miles, I walked a few minutes … Continue reading →

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 →

HAES and athletic performance: Where’s the intersection?

Posted on February 12, 2015 by G

Posted on December 17, 2014 by G

Hamster wheel today (or elliptical, as normal people call it) to warm up all my sore parts. I spent 45 minutes on it with a stupid fashion magazine and a stupid real estate show on HGTV with my brain 100% … Continue reading →

Rearrange it

Posted on June 13, 2014 by G

I’ve been working through NRoL4W for a while now, and as I go along I wind up slowly adding, subtracting, modifying and splitting exercises. My latest target is the combined deadlift/bent-over row. I’ve decided I like the low position bent-over … Continue reading →

It feels like forever since I’ve been out for a run, and I’ve been so antsy! I was hoping to get one in this weekend, but I was so busy– my friends’ wedding was on Saturday (it was so fun, … Continue reading →

Posted on September 30, 2013 by G

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 →
