I'm already mentally gearing up for Tempo run in the morning. Tempo runs are always mentally challenging but it has been really rough for the last few weeks. It has been hard to wake up, cold some mornings, and I have just been too easy on myself. Well, it's back to it tomorrow! I am eager to … Continue reading #RunningReboot – A New Challenge
...that we're headed to Disneyland in a little over a week! The next two weeks is sure to be full of challenging (but rewarding) training runs, getting everything at work wrapped up before vacation, 10ish hours in total on planes but, most importantly, time at the Happiest Place on Earth! The Real Reason We're Headed to Disneyland: … Continue reading I Almost Cannot Contain My Excitement!
GO WATCH NOW
So the only sort-of resolution I have for myself is to keep my house cleaner and do all the decorating I have been wanting to do. I don't really focus that much on New Years as a time to reevaluate my life. I am fitter than I have ever been, I am happily married, I don't think … Continue reading A New Year’s Resolution…for my cat
For some unknown reason, I have been so super exhausted this week. I don't mean "oh, I could use a good nap." I have had shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, compromised performance during my workouts, heart racing after stupid stuff like walking upstairs, etc. While this doesn't happen often, it has happened before.

I had a lot of fun with this "challenge" and feel absolutely great on … Continue reading Seven Day Streak? SUCCESS!
It feels good to see this much green filling up my Nike+ week: My sole mission for today was to get my treadmill speed workout done. That means I barely did anything else (you know, all those mental negotiations insuring my arrival at the gym took too much energy to do much else). My original … Continue reading Staying Strong on Day Six!
So my "7 day challenge" continues. I have to say, as much as you might think that day after day of running would lead to burn out, it seems to be easier to stay motivated without the lapses in between. Maybe this would not stay true overtime but this does reinforce past feelings that it … Continue reading Days 4 and 5 – So Far So Good!
