The Tao of Me

I didn’t blog yesterday because I got too caught watching: {How sad am I that Rulon left the show?! I wanted him to win. Now I’m not sure who I want to win…} and {Seriously, WHO is voting for Kendra?!? I am in a DWTS pool and she is ruining my picks!} By the time [...]

I didn’t planning on blogging until the end of the week, but let’s face it, with my workout schedule significantly cut back this week, I have more time that I banked on. Since I can’t remember, for the life of me, how my last race week went, I’m thinking I may do a daily recap. [...]

* Easter I’ve been in a post-Easter celebratory food coma for the past few hours. We celebrated with a family get-together doing what we do best – eating.

Instead, I came home, ordered Chinese takeout (only because they delivered), then plopped on the couch to watch a Tim Lincecum special (10 K’s! – [...]

I was supposed to run the half at the Salt Lake Marathon this weekend. It didn’t happen and I couldn’t have been happier about it. This training cycle has gone pretty well, and I didn’t experience exhaustion until last week, after the 21-miler. Since then, the exhaustion, coupled with my terrible sleep patterns had me [...]

Workouts: AM: Strength Training PM: Spin Question for Spinners: What is the purpose of quick in/out of saddle moves? (Sorry, I don’t know the proper term of it). We did a ton of them in Spin class tonight, and it was hard and annoying. Seriously, what is the purpose of it? Inquiring minds need to [...]
