So Jess of Run With Jess had a fun idea for during the Olympics this past couple of weeks. She called it the Summer Virtual Games Track Star and of course I had to join in, even though, clearly, I’m not even remotely fast. It’s still fun to push yourself and see how long it actually takes to complete Olympic track distances. Early this week while my DH was still in town, we went to my favorite track out in the country. Our...

Last week was sick week number…I don’t know of the year. It feels never ending. I did get in one run and one bike ride before I gave in to the tired and did nothing else. Last Week’s Mileage One run, one cycle workout, no strength work. Total of 16 km. This Week’s Planned Mileage Well, today was a “rest” day, lol, and hopefully I’ll actually get in workouts every other day this week.  I’m...

Last week’s mileage = big fat ZERO! I was sick again and decided to rest a lot and try to get better quickly for a change. I definitely feel better today so I guess it was worth it. I feel annoyed when I have a lazy week though, especially when the scale is giving me numbers that are flat out scary. This morning I knew things had to change. I haven’t worked out yet (I’m really not a morning workout kind of girl, maybe...

Had an okay week last week considering the holidays and my general laziness of late. Feeling very ready to be on track this week – actually heading for a bike workout after publishing this post! Last Week’s Mileage 3 runs totaling 14km 1 bike for 9km This Week’s Planned Mileage 4 runs (around 15 km total) 2 bikes (around 25 km total) 4 strength sessions (2 upper, 2 lower) Some Yoga (vague plan lol)

Yay! I actually have mileage to report I cannot say how good it feels to be getting on track. I’m not at 100% health yet, I suspect it is simply going to be a waiting game for that particular goal. I did do a respiratory function test though which thankfully confirmed I don’t have asthma, and I haven’t heard any bad news about my chest x-ray, so I am reasonably sure that I just needed more time than is normal to recover...

Last Monday of August and I’m updating my mileage for the past two weeks, because last Monday I was busy flying toward Orlando most of the day (alone with three kids – yikes!) and pretty much ignored my computer for not only Monday, but the whole week Week of August 15 In prepping for vacation work got really crazy – I skipped a run  this week. So three runs only for a total of 28km, including a long run of 15k on...
