It’s confession time. Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. Alicia and Powers are signed up to do a half marathon. They signed up to voluntarily run 13.1 miles. Kevin’s always wanted to do one. And then there’s me. And in case you have forgotten – I HATE RUNNING. In fact, here it comes – … Continue reading
The exercise storm that is. Kevin is also getting back to the fitness which is immensely helpful for me. In fact, this week we’ve started the infamous Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred. Dun dun dun…. The funny store behind it is that I bought it maybe 5 years ago. Well, I can recall doing … Continue reading
I’d been watching the weather report all week and praying to the sweet lord that the rain would hold off. No. Apparently my new thing is racing in the rain. I did the triathlon with my bestie, Alicia. The hotel we stay at is a short bike ride from the course, so no one drives … Continue reading
Yesterday was the day I once upon a time dreaded: my yearly physical. Ya’ll – it was awesome. I was informed that I have the blood pressure of an athlete. WHAT?! Me? (dear body, catch up.) At first I was panicking because I thought something had to have been wrong for it to be that … Continue reading
As I ran my 5 miles yesterday I thought about how much I hate running, I thought about how much I hate people that love running, I thought about how stupid running is, I yelled at every other runner I saw in my head…you get the drift. I hate running. I absolutely hate running. I … Continue reading
The past week hasn’t had anything pretty in it ranging from the scale, to my training to the Boston Marathon. This past week was a nightmare for training and by nightmare I mean I didn’t train. I had a friend fly in from out of town and I used that as an excuse not to … Continue reading
I’ve been exhausted lately, so in order to bump up my energy levels (considering my training will only get longer and more intense) I’ve also bumped up my vitamins. I was only taking a daily multi vitamin. So, Sunday I went to Target and did some research on my phone while I browsed vitamins. With … Continue reading
Anyone that does triathlons will tell you, we like to talk about them. We can find a way to sneak triathlons into nearly every conversation. A question as simple as, “Hey, wanna see a movie this weekend?” can get a reply of, “Oh sorry – can’t. I’ve got to get a brick in this weekend. … Continue reading
Sometimes I think I’m crazy. Like I don’t even know who I am anymore. It’s really interesting when I rewind where I was even last year versus where I am now. I am not the same person. I can’t help but laugh at the differences. Last year my husband asked me to do a bike ride … Continue reading
Yesterday I started a squat challenge at approximately 7:30am and then went for a run at 3pm. I could already feel the squats in my thighs when I went for a run and suddenly, 2 miles in my entire right foot went numb and tingly. According to a Physical Therapist friend of mine and my … Continue reading
Damn girl, that's a lot of fattitude
