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 →

For some reason, I was super excited to go workout today, and now that it’s done I’m still super excited about it. It was a combo day, with a longer session of lifting followed by a short and fast run. … Continue reading →

Sticky spring trail run

Posted on April 17, 2015 by G

It’s Friday, it’s gorgeous out, and my boss isn’t here, so… trail run time! It rained some this morning so there was quite a bit of mud to contend with, but it all washes off, right? I cruised down to … Continue reading →

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 →
