Hill repeats, and a little nostalgia for a #throwbackthursday. Yes, leave it to a runner, to get nostalgic over hill repeats. LOL! Ok, so maybe it wasn’t the workout itself… Sandy and I had 10 x 100m hill repeats on our schedule for today, so we decided to run the short hill behind our house …
A little bit earlier this week – yay! As with last week, I’ll start with a recap of what we ate last week and how our meal plan turned out. What We Ate Last Week We started off Monday with a meatless meal of eggplant parmesan baked on a sheet pan. This slightly different take …
I had hoped to get this post up a little earlier this week, but we were gone all weekend and I really didn’t put together a plan until Monday. I promise, I’ll try to get the information out earlier next week – it’s already in the planning stages. Here’s a quick recap of what happened …
I suppose the first thing I should say is that I love the idea of meal prepping. I don’t mind putting in the work to prepare meals in advance. And having a fridge full of healthy meals ready to go sounds wonderful! But… I don’t like eating the same thing over and over. And I …
Without much fanfare, Sandy and I have jumped back into our next training cycle. We are doing something new this time, and because of our race schedule, we are training for two events simultaneously. Our Wine & Dine Two Course Challenge training program officially started last week (playing a little catch-up) and the “build-up” portion …
Since last week’s post about how to prepare your body for a Disney vacation, I have had some folks ask me about how to get started with a walking program. The biggest piece of advice I have is just that: have a plan. But, which plan do you pick? There are tons of beginner walking …
It seems I have been here before, adrift in a directionless quagmire of infinite proportions. Okay, well maybe it’s not that bad, but sometimes I get into a funk and the wheels just seem to spin. I do a little of this and a little of that, but nothing very wholeheartedly. I’m sure we all …
Sandy, my principle researcher, has been trying to help us find ways to increase our race paces, or in layman’s terms, SPEED UP! We’ve gotten pretty well trained at endurance, and have successfully completed distances up to a full marathon (and the 48.6-mile Dopey Challenge in 2018), but we have always had the desire to …
First, I want to thank those of you who have been following, sharing and contributing to this project. I appreciate your contributions and am delighted by your interest. Hopefully, you will find the information below of some benefit in your own training. That said, I would like to offer my not quite final thoughts on my …
I’ve contemplated writing a post regarding running/walking etiquette, for several months. With the recent news of the New Jersey school SUPER-intendent Pooper, I decided that now was the time. This crap has to stop! (Ok, now that that is out of my system… oops, I did it again. Ok, enough of that, let’s move on). …
