I feel like lately I've been running more than usual. I had all but stopped running during the week just prior to the LNT Marathon and had even less motivation to run following the race. I mostly stuck to Crossfit workouts and the occasional cycling class. Lately however, the fire has been stoked once again … Continue reading Week in Review-Putting on the Old Running Shoes Again
Hello!!! It's been a bit since my last post and a lot has happened! It's been a busy month filled with new fitness endeavors, resting and some preliminary goal setting for 2019. I last left off with my recap of the Get Pumped for Pets crossfit competition, held at my gym. Since it's been a … Continue reading Updates
One year ago today I was only peripherally aware of the Crossfit Competition community. I had spectated at a few of them but assumed they were for strong people which I most decidedly was not, therefore, they just weren't for me. Until that is I lost a bet with my friend and coach in which … Continue reading Get Pumped for Pets Crossfit Competition Recap
I have always been a big fan of the long run. Endurance is my biggest asset when it comes to anything related to fitness or athletics. An example from this morning at crossfit, it's incredibly obvious where my strengths lie: our metcon was a combination of running, jump rope and hang power cleans. I felt … Continue reading Week in Review: I like Long Runs and I Cannot Lie
Actually I heart all running really. I like running on trails, I like running on roads, I even like running on the track sometimes. And I've even grown to love running itty bitty distances for time at my gym. We regulary run at 200, 400 and 800 meter intervals at the gym. While I wish … Continue reading I Heart Trail Running-Pacer Training Week in Review
That has to go down as one of my odder titles for a post. And also be foreworned that this post get's a bit vulnerable. The genesis is from something I noticed about myself a few weeks ago. As I was putting chalk on my hands before snatching, I became aware that each time I … Continue reading The Chalk Bucket of my Insecurities and other Random Anxieties
It's been a busy start to my summer and June has seemingly passed by in the blink of an eye (as it usually does!) In the two weeks since my last update, I've continued to run trails, lift weights and I even made time for a short trip to Charlotte, NC to see my sister … Continue reading Week(s) in Review
Hi! I'm back....still here and still training. Just missed a few weeks of posting. Work has been and will likely continue to be busy over the next few months as we prepare for a huge audit in the fall. My desire to write has somewhat waned as I've spent the majority of the day up … Continue reading Catching up
May 17th marks the one year anniversary of my first day at EpiqX Fitness and Performance. My first day. I felt SO strong holding the barbell like that If you know me in real life, you know that although I love fitness, I don't like trying new things. I've done some stuff in the past … Continue reading Year 1 Reflections
Last week I reduced my running in preparation for the Rite Aid Cleveland 8k and Half Marathon. I only ran twice (out of 3 total planned runs) and cut my mileage pretty significantly. I've talked before about my struggle with resting/recovering but I think I took it to a new level these last few weeks. … Continue reading Week in review-taper time!!
