back on my feet again

Feeling a bit better today. Yesterday I want to the gym, did some lifting and managed a slow 1 mile on the treadmill.  Buoyed by that I got all set for my long run this morning complete with fueling, stretching, rolling and early wake up call. I promised myself I would listen to my body …

ready for the weekend

I knew it was going to be one of those days. I had a meeting at 7am and a demo I had to give at 9am.  When my schedule is like this the only way I can fit my training schedule in is to plan ahead. I can’t say this enough, if you have trouble …

tuesday lunchtime strength

My half training plan calls for weights on Monday, but I really enjoy taking two full days off a week, it just works for me. So maybe I should just permanently move weights from Monday to Tuesday?  Regardless I managed to do an actual, real weights workout today. I am still suffering from lack-of-trainer, low-motivation …

1 hour strength workout

I did a quick weights workout during my lunch hour today. It fits perfectly in 60 minutes, giving you 10 minutes to get to the gym and change, and 10 minutes to shower and get back to your desk.  For me that is really more like 5/15.

Warm-up 5 minutes on recumbent bike

Do the following set …

a good lunchtime workout

So this week, unfortunately I can’t workout with my trainer. My current partner has gotten too pregnant to workout with me and I just can’t afford 1:1’s. So I am on my own until I find someone else to train with.

So because of that, I was on the hook to give myself a good workout, …

another quickie shred

I really much prefer working out at a gym, I have more motivation and generally get a better workout. But, after our strata meeting ended at 9:30 I thought some Jillian was all I could muster.

I actually threw on the Biggest Loser I had pvr-ed and did the shred at the same time.  Jillian was …

survived my workout

Only one more day in the work week left and it is a rest day. I swear that was all that got me through today. I managed to pull off a decent workout and not confess my fatigue or sore throat to my trainer but I definitely didn’t bring it.  It is amazing how you …

early easy 3 miles

I didn’t do any weights yesterday, but I did go on a beautiful hike to get some activity. Instead, I decided to do a quick bit of strength this morning post run.  I find lifting to be the hardest thing to fit in when I am running a lot.  But my goal is twice a …

beat by the timer

Today my trainer worked me out harder then I think she ever has.  I swear just when I think things are getting easier because I am getting stronger she introduces a whole new set of moves that make we want to vomit and fall asleep simultaneously.  Jumping lunges never looked so good.

I don’t think it …

a quick shred

Three rest days in a row, oh well at least I was running around a lot and I am sure I got plenty of exercise.    I really wanted to go for a run Saturday morning but I didn’t want to have to wash my hair right before getting it done. Sucks being an addict …
