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
I have some hope that this might actually be a fast work week! (I hardly ever say that!) 🙂 So far I can’t believe that tomorrow is Wednesday already. I had a good day today, I woke up early, got to work early, ate really well and got to the gym for a great workout.…… Continue reading Tuesday
Hi there bloggies: So, I was pretty uninspired this week when it came to food. I had the a lot of the same food, and dinners were on the fly. This is what happens when you do not make a plan and have a Sunday night prep time. (I opted to go to the movies…… Continue reading Happy Memorial Day Weekend…
Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you woke up to warm temperatures, blue skies and an overall beautiful day. But if you live in the Boston or Providence area, you woke up to gray skies, showers, rain, and down right cold temperatures. When I got to work it was barely 50 degrees outside and there was…… Continue reading Oh Monday…
Happy Marathon Monday, everyone!! I must tell you all, that I am severely heartbroken to not be taking part in the festivities today (as a spectator, not as a runner). Getting up and driving to work this morning was sort of a bummer – but I did enjoy a very light traffic commute, which is…… Continue reading Marathon Monday
How has your Saturday been? I have had a fun one so far, and I am really looking forward to the Harry Potter fest I have planned for tonight! My oatmeal really kept me going for hours today, which is such a great thing. At 11 o’clock I met my good friend Danielle at the…… Continue reading Late Brunch
Wow, what a day I have had. It was a great day and I have gotten a lot accomplished. I am pretty sure my day was so awesome because I went to bed early last night [after packing the healthy breakfast and lunch… remember?] I was in bed by 9:45 last night [this might not…… Continue reading A Healthy Balance …
Happy Tuesday evening, everyone. I’ve reached the half way point of my work week which is a good feeling. Tomorrow is my prescribed day of rest… This morning I took the train to work. It was a nice ride, I read my book on nook for the first few minutes and then I ‘rested’ my…… Continue reading Long day…
My love for Saturdays continues. Last night I fell asleep around 10:45 or so and did not set an alarm for the morning on purpose. I slept until 10:30 this morning. Too much sleep? For a normal person, probably. But for me – recovering from surgery six weeks ago – I do not think so.…… Continue reading Saturday – bagel sandwich
Hi Folks: I think I have a new favorite post workout snack! I just walked in from 45 minutes on the treadmill and I was starving – enough to eat anything! But instead I took a deep breath and gathered myself. I took a shower and then made a really great plate of food. 1…… Continue reading Post Workout Snack
