One of those crazy weeks that you just have to navigate to get through training. But I did. Training is going well. The workouts may not have happened on the days they were slated, but they all did and the week’s long run felt strong despite some fueling issues. It’s nuts to realize the NYC… Read More »
crosstraining Cari? However you want to call it, a fun thing happened this week. I was on Roosevelt Island Sunday and wanted to go to the northern tip to see the renovated lighthouse and new Nellie Bly installation, but wasn’t feeling the walk. Not pain but my legs were just tired. Less activity but not… Read More »
or Women’s Mini, or Mastercard Mini. I’ve run this five! times and I’m pretty sure it has had five names. I call him that, but I was already at bib pickup. I’m still crediting him because he’s cute, and I would have bought him if NYRR was selling. Speaking of ambassadors. Linking up with Coach… Read More »
are those two connected? If so, maybe there’s a PR in my January future. The run down isn’t much of one as I took it easy this week to get my calves, hamstring to calm the fuck down. Mission mostly accomplished. I’ll touch on it below but in the mean time linking up with Kim… Read More »
This was a wonderfully crazy week. Also a reminder that I need to stick with morning exercise as social life goes back to “normal”. But before I get to the run down, a little bit of a race recap that isn’t worth a standalone post Race Recap: Friday afternoon I had my appointment for bib… Read More »
or as it was actually called this year, the Mastercard Mini 10K. As I mentioned, this is the fourth time I’ve run this race-making it my most-run race along with Frozen Penguin, with Gridiron and Ted Corbitt at three apiece, I think. If you told me this would have become my most-run, I’m not sure… Read More »
or maybe working from home and not being in pain and running… I realized earlier this week I was going to cross 70 miles. By far my highest total when not marathon training, and last July was “only” 84.79. July total was 76.48 miles. WHOA. Four months of working from home and I’m finally in… Read More »
I’ve come to the realization that PT is like a diet. You may lose 5 lbs or have the sore muscle stop hurting, but there’s lots of long term adjustments. I don’t say that to knock PT. I love my PT, but one of the changes in PT as an adult is I realize it’s… Read More »
Oh pink! I was actually planning to wear a different top this year, but it didn’t work with the skirt and for some bizarre reason I cared about matching. Linking up with Kim and Zenaida to recap the 2019 Women’s Mini 10K. I knew a course PR wasn’t in the cards, but wanted to get… Read More »
it was a fiesta indeed! Joining Zenaida and Kim for Tuesday Topics to determine whether riding a unicorn leads to PRs Earlier this year, NYRR announced their first race in New Jersey, likely in answer to NYC Runs taking over the Newport Half. I was on the fence about doing this race as it was… Read More »
