Okay… so my posts have gone from one-per-workout to twice a month, I guess that’s just how things are these days. This is mostly due to the fact that I now go from the gym directly into a daily meeting, … Continue reading →

Struggles and weaknesses

Posted on January 25, 2018 by G

Today’s workout was a put-my-head-down-and-get-to-work-stravaganza. It’s been a while since I was this physically and emotionally tired after a lifting session. Ironically, I made a point to get really good sleep last night– so no idea how much of a … Continue reading →

Another run-mute today. I was out the door at 7 and just made it in time– I was still catching my breath when the train pulled up. 3.08mi in 38:41– I was feeling a bit sluggish and sore this morning, … Continue reading →

The app said today’s workout was 10 minutes tempo. Well, I’m not going to run for just 10 minutes (besides, don’t I need a warmup and a cooldown?) So I structured a treadmill run today where I warmed up for … Continue reading →

taking a NOPE day

Posted on August 9, 2016 by G

Most of yesterday was no fun: getting overheated during my run led to a monster migraine that put me out of commission in the afternoon and evening. Ugh. Exertion migraines are buttholes, because the whole time you’re kicking yourself "why … Continue reading →

can’t recover if I can’t sleep

Posted on July 21, 2016 by G

Pull day started with a 15 minute run at a leisurely pace on sore, sore legs. "What’s good after leg day? I know, let’s go for a run!" Oooh, it was a drag. Then I started in on the rest: … Continue reading →

Hard runs make me sneeze.

Posted on December 9, 2015 by G

Yes, it’s true: any run that leaves me over-heated afterwards will give me a drippy nose and make me sneeze my head off for the next few hours… or days. It’s frustrating! Today’s hard run was 4 miles on the … Continue reading →

Sleep and guilt

Posted on September 1, 2015 by G

I’m in an awful mood today. I went to the gym hoping that a good workout would help, but it didn’t really– though I have the satisfaction of being done, I’m just still grumpy. I did my usual lifts at … Continue reading →
