Yoga Pants Life

Don’t worry – I don’t necessarily plan to recap every single day of training, but my brain is fried and I can’t think of a more creative title. I completed another lunchtime run today and it was awesome. I felt strong, despite the midday sun and heat. I wouldn’t classify…

There’s not much to put here because I took the first week of training off to recover from the half (my calf was bothering me a bit from San Diego) and to recover from the busy two weeks I had prior. I was going to work out yesterday, but ended…

It’s been over a month since my last post (shocking!) and I feel like I should probably just start this darn blog over again. I ran two half-marathons in the last 28 days. I should probably use ‘run’ loosely, as I did an awful lot of walking during each half.…

Phew! Just finished my long run. Not sure how I feel about it. It wasn’t a bad run, but it wasn’t exactly confidence-building either. I ran 8.25 miles. I honestly didn’t really look at the time I left and I didn’t take my Garmin, so I have no idea about…

I love running – it’s been my main form of exercise and stress relief for years now. Growing up, I hated running (or any kind of physical activity that didn’t involve making out, for that matter) so it’s still a bit shocking that I love it so much now. That…

Is it monthly update time? I’m on it (mostly because I’m procrastinating at the moment.) I’m running again, which, YAY! I’ve been running pain-free for a few weeks now, which is awesome. I was starting to get really worried that I may have done permanent damage to my leg and…

I don’t have time to sit and gather my thoughts and write something insightful (when do I ever write something truly insightful though?) but I had the urge to write, so here I am. I’m still injured. I thought it was improving, but I was in the car for 8…

ARGH! I injured myself again, in the dumbest possible way and now I have to take some time off from running. Not that there’s a ‘cool’ way to injure yourself, but instead of getting to tell a bad-ass story like “I was running across a field of melty lava, trying…

Training for the San Diego Rock n’ Roll Marathon has officially started. It’s only the first week, so the workouts haven’t been taxing…but my Chicago ‘failure’ from last year has been in the back of my mind with each run. I’m trying not to let it get to me, but…

Sometimes I feel like there’s a subway train flying through my brain (look at me, rhyming and stuff.) It’s not always a bad thing, but sometimes it becomes a bit overwhelming and I can’t always shut it off. It also makes it difficult to sit and write a coherent blog…
