The Giant Race 2011

August 28, 2011

This weekend 2 favorites of mine converged – running and baseball = The Giant Race. Here’s how the weekend went. Friday ART I visited my chiro for an ART session. If you’ve ever had an ART session, you know that they are very intense, but fairy short, usually 15 minutes or so. This particular session [...]

This Week

August 26, 2011

TGIF! It’s Friday afternoon and I can hardly believe that I survived the week. The week started off with hours spent at the County courthouse for Jury Duty. Yes, JURY DUTY. It makes me irrationally angry that because someone else decided to commit a crime, others have to be inconvenienced by sitting in a basement [...]

Week 33

After taking no rest days in Week 32, I ended up taking 2 this week due to some unexpected travel. But the rest was much needed and I ended up only missing 1 workout of the entire week. Monday AM: Spin. I decided to skip my usual Monday morning Core training class. The regular instructor [...]

Sunday Runday in Tiburon

August 21, 2011

The one thing I love most about this summer is the evolution of Sunday Rundays. Almost every Sunday has turned into a group run/meet-up + food. It has been a great way to great to see and catch-up with my local bloggy Twitter friends. This week’s edition of Sunday Runday took us to Karin’s neck [...]

Yoga for Runners

August 15, 2011

Yoga is the key to everything – clarity, balance, strength, flexibility, aging, etc, etc, etc. But as much I truly believe this, I can’t always make it to a yoga class (confession: haven’t been to one since early July). But just because I can’t make it to a class, doesn’t mean that I can’t practice [...]

Week 32

August 14, 2011

Despite some recurring aches and pains, I really felt like this past training week was a good one. I slept well (at least 7 hours every night), ate well and overall, just felt well balanced. Sunday Yoga: As I mentioned last week, I have really skimped out on my yoga practice since early July and [...]

Racing Weight Video

August 10, 2011

So remember the book I mentioned in this post? The one that I am *still* reading (yes, I’m slow that way)… I found this video by the author that talks about using calorie counting to create dietary awareness. I’ve actually found this to be true. After a few weeks of counting calories, I am pretty [...]
