A Week Of Recovery (September 15 – 21)

Last week was all about recovering from Ragnar DC.  For those of you that haven’t read my recaps, you can catch up by clicking on Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 , and Part 4, to see how my team, Cruisers Rockin’ The Relay, did. Monday My workout on Monday consisted of me limping down […]

Leading Up To Ragnar (September 8 – 14)

As I approach my targeted fall race, the Hokie Half Marathon, I’m hoping to peak at just the right time.  Having two other big races a month and two months prior has its advantages and disadvantages.  On the plus side, I’m able to test my training to see where I am in the way of […]

Working On A Comeback (September 1 – 7)

After a fun and busy Labor Day weekend, I stated off last Monday, with a fully booked schedule.  It’s easier to see clients than reschedule them, so I often work on the smaller holidays that fall on Monday, my busiest day. Monday My first client arrived with her daughter at 7:30 and we headed out […]

Cutting Back My Workout Even Though I Don’t Want To (August 25 – 31)

Last week was certainly an unusual week for this girl that loves to run and workout.  If you recall, the previous week I had minor surgery on my left forearm on Tuesday, and hurt my left foot as I finished up a run on Thursday.  Nothing serious in the grand scheme of things, but enough […]

A Setback In Training Plans (August 18 – 24)

Last week’s training took an unexpected turn.  Hopefully, I’ll be back on the running trail sooner rather than later, because this girl’s got some important races coming up! Monday The day after my Leesburg 20K, I took my usual day off from running, but ran/walked 2.5 miles with one of my clients and her daughter.  […]

From Running On Sand, To Flying On Asphalt (August 11-17)

With the exception of Tuesday’s run, training went well last week leading up to my first big race of the fall racing season.  When I got off of the sand and onto asphalt again, I felt like I was flying! Monday Since we were still at the beach and didn’t want to drive into town, […]

Running Up To A Very Important Weekend (July 28 – August 3)

I had a solid running week until I got to Saturday, and as planned, I took Saturday and Sunday off for a very special reason.  Funny thing is, I ran on my own wedding day.  I don’t remember how far I ran, but I definitely remember going for an early morning run! Monday I started […]

Enjoying The Outdoors (July 21 – 27)

As I’m gearing up for three big fall races, I’ve bumped up my training, and in doing so, I’m enjoying being outdoors as much as possible. Monday I stuck with my promise to myself and lifted weights on Monday morning early before my first client arrived.  I was also able to sneak in a 4.65 […]

Another Good Week… If You Like To Run (July 14 – 20)

Last week was another good week for running, and since everyone seemed to enjoy last week’s workout recap, I’m going to make it a weekly event! Monday I almost always rest from cardio on Mondays, but try to get a good weight lifting session and core workout completed on my non-cardio day.  After about 30 […]
