What a week. Between Boston, Texas, ricin scares, and local shootings I must say I am very glad I do not work in media. But despite all the awful in the news, despite a cold, and hardly any training this week, I still have much to be grateful for and I am. I live to train another week and I remain a very blessed girl. This week was packed socially, more » Read more

I’m in the fog of a cold and can hardly recall last weeks workouts, it was a rainy week in Cleveland and that resulted in me slacking off on the commute front, and overdoing it a bit on the run front. Still need to get back into a week day groove of some sort if I want to start doing some races here, whether they be multisport, cycling, or running more » Read more

Yep, still being a bit of a slacker here. I need to pick a goal race or I am doomed to be a weekend warrior. My left calf has been a bit angry since last Sundays long run, and it has me a bit worried, but I am hoping I am just being overly paranoid and that it will loosen up with some TLC. This week I didn’t make it more » Read more

After the disaster that just was trying to make vegan peeps I have an unexpected few minutes on my hands here this Easter Sunday to actually do my training log on time! Not a big week. A few too many days recovering from the race and whatever viruses and bacteria were holding my body hostage. Took through Thursday before I started to feel like a real human being again! Monday-Rest more » Read more

I’m late, I’m late, for my training log entry date.Not much to say about last weeks “training.” I only got in one workout and the race. Pretty sure I was fighting off a stomach bug and a virus of some sort. Monday and Tuesday I had absolutely no energy. The rest of the week my stomach was not playing nice at all. And to top it off aunt flow arrived more » Read more

This week was nothing special but pretty solid going into race week next week. Not quite what I was hoping for on the weekend but given the weather (cold, snowy, windy, muddy) I’ll take it. Took the mid week run up to 90 minutes and knock on wood the foot seems no worse for wear. I’ve been feeling like I could go longer and I am glad to say I can more » Read more

This week there was more cycling and less running, between Barry Roubaix coming up and a two day work trip the running just wasn’t there this week. Monday- Morning spin class 56 minutes, 2000 meters of swimming Tuesday-60 minute easy run Wednesday-morning 60 minute spin class, 1900 meters swimming, 65 minute lunch run Thursday/Friday-Off Saturday-60 miles hilly road ride on my brand new cross bike (with road tires on for more » Read more

Two weeks in a row of what one could call actual training (or at least a good start). Not quite as much running this week, but picked up the effort on both the bike and the run so we’ll call it even. Monday-60 minute trainer ride with the boyfriend watching some awful back of the pack video of a previous years Barry Roubaix Tuesday-55 minute lunch run Wednesday-90 minute trainer more » Read more

Tap Tap…is this thing on? Yeah I know it has been a VERY long time since I have posted or done a training log, but I can honestly say this is the first week I feel justified in posting a training log in a very long time. Let’s hope this is the start of an upswing in staying healthy and training again Salty Readers! While I do not currently have more » Read more
