Little Mister and I met up with Melinda for a run today. It was a day of firsts: my first run outdoors since November. My first time running with a partner since October. The first time running with the jogging stroller. I’m not gonna lie, it wasn’t easy. The stroller weighs 25lbs. The infant car seat weighs about 8lbs and the baby weighs 13lbs. So pushing 46lbs while carrying an...

I have been crying on and off all morning (at work!) over a comment that somebody made on Facebook. I know I shouldn’t let it bother me, but it really hit me where it hurts. I guess this is a good reminder that your “friends” over there aren’t really friends. It’s a collection of people you haven’t talked to since high school. Weird relatives, co-workers,...

I had a rough day yesterday. These folks went out of their way to say wonderful encouraging things. They are some of my favorite people. You’re probably already following all of them, but if you’re not, please fix that now :) lostweightgainedlove replied to your post: Ever have one of those days where you can’t think… let me say one, you are an incredible person, I am a good...

C25K Week 5 Day 3
5 min warm-up 20 min run 5 min cool-down 2.59 miles in 30:03. Average pace 11:38 I was a little concerned when I realized I had to run for 20 minutes straight today. It turns out I didn’t need to be worried. It went fine. I felt relaxed. My breathing was even. I didn’t start to feel tired until the last 2 minutes. So yeah for that! When the hubby got home we took the baby to Lake Calhoun...

If You Run Slow, Who Cares? →
Being a “slow” runner is merely a state of mind. Don’t let that affect your running. Many runners, both new and experienced, hesitate to join local running groups or participate in online communities. When asked why, most respond that they are embarrassed by how slow they are. I’m here to tell you that you’re not slow and that this negative, self-deprecating thinking is only...

I decided to do some interval training on the treadmill today. I used the intermediate work out that Sarina posted earlier today. Surprisingly, this workout actually felt pretty easy. It appears that I am progressing more than I originally thought. It felt really good to run at 7.0 for a minute. Right now I can’t sustain that pace for long, but I had a short glimpse of what used to be...

I made up my own little WOD based on something I saw on FB. 400 meter run 20 jumping jacks 10 crunches Repeat 4x for time Total time was about 12 minutes. I ran the segmented mile in 9:53. This actually seemed a little too easy. Next time I will add a few more exercises in between the running intervals. It was fun to mix it up a bit.

Someone that I follow on Twitter said: “As a runner, I feel like someone just attacked my friends. As I person, I am just horrified.”
