75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
So one of the things I do is write training plans for #regularpeople. It started when I wanted to tackle my first triathlon and I went looking for a plan and I could only find the super crazy type for people that are at the elite level of training and the part time level of... Continue Reading →
Usually I do a two week taper which puts me into that classic itchy with a B mode but this plan calls for only a one week taper since it is a bare minimum plan after all. I was down with the taper but walked one of the runs because I had fun walking stuff... Continue Reading →
Have you lost track of my training because I have. One would have to say that peak week pretty much didn’t happen but then again it sort of did… Anyway here’s a quick recap of getting here. I was on track until week 8 when I got married. Previous to that I was extending my... Continue Reading →
One thing and then right back to running, I swear. I had no idea that after 16 years together the act of getting married in a simple, low-key ceremony would make us feel or act differently. But here we are a bit more than a week out we’re still all kissy-faced and staring into each... Continue Reading →

Week 4 was when it got hard this time. We’ve been busy, It’s been very hot sometimes too hot to run even for me and I’ve had other stuff on my mind too. Good stuff, but all those things combined makes for a hard place to train in. Plus I think that I’m now in... Continue Reading →
Ugg this week!!! Not my strongest training week in the history of training. I need to spend some time seriously thinking about the fact that I want to do this and that means I have to do the work. This week was my birthday and my sister’s birthday which in my defense does make it... Continue Reading →
Quick contact the Guinness people I just had the best cross-training day that anyone ever has, period, exclamation point. Get ready for some gushing and I’m going to be a bit extra about it because it was just that good! This week a lot of stuff just came together for me. Not really big things... Continue Reading →
This week was a really different week for me. Honey was away for most of it as he was the week before too. We spend a lot of time together like most couples and then extra work time together too. It’s a lot, sometimes a lot, a lot. I joke, mostly but since I moved... Continue Reading →
