Wow, how awesome to be able to pound the pavement for an extended period of time. 🙂
(Disclaimer: “extended period of time” does not mean that I call it quits for the day. I did an additional 90 minutes of elliptical and 50 minutes of P90x – trying to maintain a high degree of fitness throughout this so when I’m able to run 100% it won’t be AS difficult to get back into it)

Instead of Motivation Monday, I’m bringing you an overdue training update! I’m to the point in my training cycle where I’m staring to see ups and downs – yeah!! Per my last post, the beginning of last week was rough. See the details here :). After taking a day off after those rough days, things…

Tuesday my head-cold came back. Pretty sure it’s the same bug I had before, I never really got over it. I’ve been blowing my nose for the last two weeks. Just as it was getting better, I could tell it moved into my sinuses. Ugh. Please go away! I’m hoping it leaves quickly… but I…
Yeah!!! I was not excited for this workout, not going to lie. It’s one of the hardest of the cycle, both physically and mentally. 4x2miles at sub-marathon pace. Good thing I had recruited Pat (bike) and Craig (running) to help, and Craig had recruited Anders (running) to run part of it with us. What? 3…
