It's Monday so of course I mowed the lawn! Granted last week I used it as my cross training event, this week I decided to just do it on my rest day. It was a bit cooler than yesterday, when I had initially planned to do it but was too tired. I had initially planned … Continue reading Rest Day With Hornworms and Planks
Sunday Funday But No Cross Training
Sunday, a day of rest or in the case of my training plan-a day of cross training. I focused more on the rest portion of the concept. Church took up the morning portion of the day and after a shopping expedition to buy new khaki pants we just relaxed. We tried a new restaurant (or … Continue reading Sunday Funday But No Cross Training
A Long Run Of Hills And Rain
Mixing things up a little bit for my long run. Rather than a solo, audio book fueled run I ran with Regina and another friend Marilyn. I was excited to see Marilyn since it's been about two years since we have worked out together. She is always a hoot to hang out with. We … Continue reading A Long Run Of Hills And Rain
Raining Rest Day!
It was raining sideways today! The weather service put out a flash flood warning for the Frederick area. Typically even on rest days I still walk a bit at lunch time with my friend and co-worker Dennis. But as lunch time grew closer the clouds started rolling in. By the time we usually walk the … Continue reading Raining Rest Day!
Running with a group
On Thursdays I run with two friends. I have been doing these runs for a few years. It's a nice time to laugh, vent about our week and get some mileage in. Last night though I found myself a little frustrated. Our 4 mile run took 58 minutes-a time that doesn't include stopping to do … Continue reading Running with a group
Look out for Pepe Le Pew
This morning was a struggle to get up and out. I did manage to go to bed earlier and was a little more rested, but I just wanted to keep sleeping. The internal argument was rather loud, so much so I'm surprised I didn't wake up Jesi with the ruckus. But after a few minutes … Continue reading Look out for Pepe Le Pew
Morning Run
A horrible nights sleep didn't stop me from getting up and out this morning. I didn't want to go, that's for sure. The crisp air, it felt more like a spring morning, helped wake me up a bit. My first mile was a bit challenging because my legs felt sluggish after last nights weight training. … Continue reading Morning Run
Rest Day of Mowing and Weights
No I didn't mow weights....or wear weights while mowing. My rest day was comprised of mowing the lawn and doing some strength work. My intentions for the week included added strength work to my routine, since calf strength is an area I need to focus on I decided that the day furthest from my long … Continue reading Rest Day of Mowing and Weights
Cross Training Days
Typically Sundays are cross training days. A day to walk or hike or bike or anything that isn't running. However, I will admit I have been remiss in my cross training days. I usually end up making it another rest day or somehow convince myself that mowing the lawn counts as cross training. I see … Continue reading Cross Training Days
A Lost Hat Found
I wanted to go at 5:30 am. I had every intention of getting out there before the crazy heat. I woke up at 4:30 am, made my oatmeal and stretched out for what was to be thirty minutes. Two hours later I woke up to sun peaking through the crack in the bedroom curtains. I … Continue reading A Lost Hat Found
