The last thing in the world I wanted to do last night was make a salad and prep a smoothie. Somehow I managed to force myself to do both, and I was pretty happy today that I made myself get to work in the kitchen last night. The smoothie was good – but we were…… Continue reading Hot Trot
I survived Monday, did you? It was a rather long day for me – over 14 hours commuting, working and running. But it was a great day. A brief recap – [photos to come later] Breakfast: Kashi chewy granola bar Lunch: 1 salad with a 1/8 cup chicken breast tossed in for extra protein; 1…… Continue reading I survived Monday…
Well, not me. I was reading an article on half marathon training the other day. The author seemed to think that some people think that training for a half marathon is easy. (I am not one of those people, in case you were wondering.) I paid particular attention to one line in the article and…… Continue reading Who Said 1/2 Marathon Training Was Easy?

The answer – frightening. Maybe 5 hours, if I was lucky. The second thought? How is today…… Continue reading Tuesday
Apparently today was bring a treat to work day at the office. So even though I was annoyed by how much time I spent in the kitchen on Sunday preparing all of my healthy food and packing lunch and breakfast and making dinner for the week, when I got to work I was so happy…… Continue reading Bring a Treat to Work Day
Sunday did not get off to the same brilliant start that Saturday did. Well, maybe it did – but just in a very different way. It was the same deal, I was supposed to call Ned when my alarm went off and get out and go for an early morning run. This was supposed to…… Continue reading Sunday
The first unofficial week of half marathon training was a success. Here is a brief recap: Tuesday: over one hour of cardio, 30 minutes of strength training and a couple of wall sits (I’m hoping to avoid runner’s knee this time around and wall sits are supposed to help) Wednesday: half an hour of cardio…… Continue reading Training & Food
