I’ve spent the past week slowly coming back from this: I use pictures to describe my injury because I have yet to figure out what it is. Yesterday, at my appointment with the podiatrist, he found that same sore spot on the top of my foot. What is causing this ONE spot to feel like [...]
First of all, let me thank everyone who left me such nice comments on my recent POST about my injury. Anyone who has experienced an injury can probably agree that love and support from friends and family goes a long way and definitely helps make an injury less painful. I appreciate it so much. So as some [...]
Seneca 7 is a 77.7 relay race around Seneca Lake. Seven team members, 3 legs each, varying in distance. I’ve run this relay 3 years in a row. My team members have changed slightly over the years, but I’ve always been lucky to run with awesome people. Why the “Klondike Catchers” in 2013? It all [...]
Today’s scheduled workout was a nice and easy 30 minute tempo…is there such a thing and as easy tempo? I made sure to wear all of my bright colors, including my Saucony Kinvara 4 sneaks for the big event. Real quick, I’ll share a few MORE features that I’ve noted as being awesome about [...]
Warm(er) weather and track workouts are the perfect combination. These are just SOME of the awesome people I get to share the pain of speed with! Today’s workout was 5 x 800…a nice workout to ease back into the track routine. I’ve done some speed recently, but mostly shorter stuff to work on my turnover [...]
Well, my lovely Spring break came to end EARLY this morning, 5AM early. Body Pump was calling my name, so I got to it! Body Pump is by far my favorite way to get in my strength training. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend! This afternoon, I hit up the pool. I recently [...]
I tried out some new socks today. I’m a huge fan of PROCompression Marathon Socks, so I wanted to give their trainer low socks a try. I was excited to see these came in a pack of two! The Trainer Low socks came up a little higher than I thought they would based on their [...]
Rather than writing one big review/post on the Saucony Kinvara 4, I figured it might be better to share a little bit as I go. Today’s run looked like this: Let me explain… The temp was in the 40s and I was trying to get away with wearing capris. The socks definitely helped keep me [...]
I didn’t feel like running yesterday. At all. It’s funny because I don’t usually have these types of days. Maybe it’s because there was some fresh snow on the ground? Or lets be honest…maybe because my workout plan called for speed work? Maybe it’s because I have suddenly taken on a second job and I’m [...]
A while ago, I shared in this POST about a special Valentine’s Day gift. Since then, I have slowly worked my way into, wait for it…treadmill workouts! Believe me, I’m the last person who thought I would ever be talking about or actually doing a treadmill workout. I’ve never been a huge fan of treadmills. I [...]
