1. I effed up. You know I like to stalk the “We made too much” section of the Lululemon site in hopes of paying too much for workout wear instead of obscenely way too much. Imagine my delight when I scored this sweet tank. I got it, wore it (once) loved it, then ever so [Read More]
September by Number
Miles Run: 62 Mile on bike: 92 Miles walking: 8 Fitness: Plenty of leg and core workouts, but since I’m a schlock, I did not log so nothing official. Animal encounters: 2 dogs, 2 snakes (one dead, one very much alive. I am scarred for life). Races: Two 5ks Podium Finishes: 2. because I rock…and the grandmaster AG [Read More]
Last Quarter Link Up: One Small Change
How can it be October already? With temps climbing into the mid-80’s here today, it sure doesn’t feel like October. Anyway, let’s not let the last quarter of the year slip away without doing something(s) constructive. We all know that making one small change is pretty easy, feels harmless right? But sticking with it can [Read More]
MAF Training
Shhhh……MAF’ing in progress. I’m slowing it down: 180 minus your age, in case you were wondering. My first outing felt leisurely and feathery light. I’m pretty sure I looked like this: But soon the Secretariat in me wanted to be done and I fought the urge to pick it up and blaze home. There is [Read More]
Spreading Some Sunshine
Here in Chi-town we’ve been blessed with a string of gorgeous days with 100% sunshine. What better to time to spread some of that around? Elle was sweet enough to honor me with the Sunshine Award. Thanks Elle! The Rules: 1. Include award logo in a post or on your blog. 2. Link to the [Read More]
Excuses
Forgive me body for I have sinned. It has been 3 days since my last run. Gasp! I may not be the best eater, I may be far from the fastest runner, but one thing is for sure. I will get out and run 3x/week….even if it’s a leaden, snail-paced one laced with profanity. At [Read More]
Garden Fritters
I conjured this recipe in a futile attempt to keep pace with the zucchini that is exploding in our garden. I guess I could’ve made 767 loaves of zucchini bread…oh wait, I pretty much did. Turns out there wasn’t all that much zucchini left. So instead of 2 cups of zucchini, I worked in some [Read More]
Fall Frolic 5k Race Report
We were blessed with perfect temps. Low 50’s, sunny and breezy. I overdressed in long sleeves and I knew it, although I felt great waiting around before and after the race. This is the same course as a summer 5k I did a couple of years ago, just renamed and moved to a cooler time [Read More]
My Stash Runneth Over
Remember the other day when I was moaning about the Caveman single handedly wiping out my GU stash? I know, the nerve. Well in case you didn’t know, runners and companies that support them are pretty darn awesome. Look what has appeared on my doorstep since then: This treasure trove came from Erica over at [Read More]
Finally, Heart Results
Has this been the longest week ever? It sure seems like it to me after waiting, pacing, calling and waiting some more for the results from my nuclear stress test as well as the labs I did last week. Why, why, why aren’t doctor’s offices more sensitive to the stress one goes through when waiting [Read More]
