The Tao of Me

I did 2 things today: swim and tried new recipes. Swim I woke up fully expecting to be in pain from yesterday’s run. With the exception of feeling rundown and having tired legs, I otherwise felt pretty good. I had a swim workout scheduled but really wasn’t feeling up to it. So I made a [...]

I just woke up from a 2-hour nap, and my evening plans don’t commence for another 2 hours so I thought I’d write a post recapping today’s long run. I have a process, a ritual if you will, for long runs. I’m sure each runner has one. Here’s mine. I’m finishing Week 4 of marathon [...]

I’ve been so anxious that I’ve been [...]

I honestly don’t understand how weekend days go by soooo fast. Another weekend is coming to an end and the Sunday night dread is setting in. Thankfully, its been a pretty productive day for me; I’ve been able to cross off almost everything on my weekend “To-Do” list. Sunday Swim I started the day off [...]
