Meant to mention this last week and I forgot. Listened to Victoria Sekely on the Strength Running podcast and it was amazing look at the role between prehab and PT and why strength training makes for better runners. Personally what applied the most to me is that I stayed uninjured. Without strength training, which included… Read More »
sort of? Not really? It’s been no secret that I have no idea whether I’m actually training for the Central Park half. Background: I was supposed to run the Frozen Penguin in early January, but it was cancelled due to Park construction and rather than run a 5K in January, I took a deferral to… Read More »
Yes, I can hear you laughing. That’s OK. I know you’re laughing with me in my excitement. I haven’t had a kitchen table I can sit at in a long time. This is semi self inflicted — when I bought a microwave a few years ago, which I had resisted for years for lack of… Read More »
anyone else remember that taunt? Kids are such shits (and yes, guilty of that on occasion). Monday evening I was saying it to myself as I thankfully laughed off a very minor fall. When I became an official runner and fell on a trail I was most worried about breaking my iPhone. Monday? Was most… Read More »
and to be honest, I really didn’t mind that much. It’s no secret I’ll take winter running over summer any day, and even when going for a walk, it’s more tolerable. That said, I did move some runs around and enjoy a lie-in Tuesday morning rather than a morning walk. I regret nothing. This week… Read More »
running the hell away from 2021? I remain grateful to be healthy, working but I am utterly and totally over the last two years. A look back at 2021: GoTheDist December: 380,678 steps 176.74 miles run/walked 88.49 miles run (when did that become a cutback month total!) GoTheDist Q4 1,220,598 steps (yes, I remember well… Read More »
Christmas was different again this year, as it likely was if you celebrate. Luckily it also had a side of silliness with the inflatable tour through mom’s neighborhood Was able to see my brother, sister in law and the kids, which was awesome. We had a white Christmas Eve, I had some running/fashion fun and… Read More »
I was so excited to be a part of this challenge when Coco floated it by us. I ended up laughing so hard when I saw my “assignment”. If you’ve been here since my first PT stint, you might recall I could not do a dead bug. I finished PT without being an insect. Nope… 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 »
another non rundown, but in honor of the holiday I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim to talk about running-adjacent things I’m grateful for. As I mentioned last week, I drove down to Florida for Thanksgiving and my birthday and two of the highlights were catching up with Coco and Jenn on the drive. Funny… Read More »
