Sticking to sports, except when I'm not.
(Ah, Monday. Time to get moving. (Or so I tell myself.) One of my goals for 2019 was to get more active. And I’ll tell ya, so far so good. Let’s review: Sign up for the Lincoln Half-Marathon in May. Check. Yes. I signed up. Official training starts in February. Get to the gym at …
I’m going to be honest with y’all: I have very little motivation lately when it comes to working out and eating healthy. It’s bad. And I mean really bad. It’s been especially difficult because I’m a pretty active person overall (or so I tell myself). I’ve run multiple half-marathons and other races. I like how …
Oh, hey! We’ve officially hit the halfway mark on the half-marathon training. This week was a light week to rest up before some high mileage and I’ll be honest… I really took advantage of that. In fact, I missed a day of running and sort of shrugged it off. Whoops? Anyway, here’s how the week …
Five weeks down and seven to go… Not feeling a big ol’ intro this week, so let’s just get to the recap. Cool? Cool. Monday: Rest Tuesday: Rest Wednesday: 3.28 miles Thursday: 2.12 miles Friday: 3.59 miles Saturday: Rest Sunday: 6 miles A couple of quick thoughts: I rested too much this week. Six …
You know what’s difficult to keep up with? This whole blog thing. I want to be better about it. I really do, but I just haven’t found my groove with it yet. I’m trying to map out a weekly plan for it that will hopefully help, but we’ll see. Before I talk about the week, …
I have to be honest: This last week of running was pretty tough. Only Sunday’s run felt good, and even that ended with a bit of a sore note. Needless to say, I’m ready for a new week. But before I can start a new week of training, let’s recap the last week, shall we? …
I have an hour and a half to get this published before it’s no longer Monday. Talk about leaving it until the last minute. Whoops? Before I get into last week’s running recap, I do have to say thank you for all the love and support in response to yesterday’s blog. Y’all are great. Mean …
I’m going to be honest: My first week of half-marathon training was rough. The good news is that I’ve got a stellar training partner (which is why he got the header photo, because he’s great!) and we’re keeping at it. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t been difficult to stay motivated though. When I ran my first …
Today marks the first day of half-marathon training for the Lincoln Half-Marathon on May 7. I’m following the same training plan I’ve always used, which is the Novice 1 program from Hal Higdon. I am nothing but a creature of habit. I decided to use “Motivation Monday” as a way to motivate myself and hold myself …
