Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
My workouts this past week were halted by the sore throat (which turns out to be tonsilitis) I developed on my birthday. In the past, I would run anyway but in my older age (hi, I am now 41), I am much more gentle with myself. Even if I think I can run because […]
Yup, I’m running a 10-mile race today! I was going to mention it on Friday but I hadn’t registered yet so I figured I would wait until I was 100% sure before saying anything. I’m running the Long Beach City Manager’s Race To Remember 10 Mile Race in Long Beach for the third time! Here […]
There’s a slight ping in my heart, every so often lately, as the Long Island marathon weekend approaches. I ran the 10K portion last year but the thought of the half marathon still touches my heart, even though I haven’t run 13 miles in gosh, almost two years. I’ve run the Long Island half […]
Happy Monday! There’s a little more pep in my step today thanks to the beautiful weekend weather and the anticipation of Game 1 of the playoffs Wednesday night for my Islanders! After re-evaluating my workout routine and implementing slight changes to my usual running schedule, I was very happy with how it played out this […]
Before getting to my re-evaluating of my workout routine, I need to tell you that my Islanders clinched a playoff spot Saturday night! It was a great game to attend. On Friday I mentioned that my workout routine is being affected by my current lack of normal-for-me morning person peppiness. The weekday mornings are a […]
A few things about my scaled back week in workouts before getting to the details! I had run 8 miles last Sunday which shouldn’t be forgotten. Normally I run Saturday mornings so the simple switch to my weekend run day does have the potential to throw me off early on in the week in terms […]
I really enjoyed this week in workouts! 3 outdoor runs 1 speedy treadmill run 4 Pure Barre workouts I keep praying that we continue to get through this winter with little to no snow. While it’s been a relatively mild winter in terms of precipitation, March tends to be that tricky month in New York […]
I ran 10 miles yesterday! Actually, 10.22 miles if we want to count the cooldown to my front door. IT FELT SO GOOD. Fresh air, right above freezing, with lots of sunshine. PERFECT. Why did I decide to run 10 yesterday? The answer is simple. The sun was out, I had the time, and I […]
A few things to note before getting to my workouts! This was a major low mileage week. It was way too cold for me to run outdoors aside from yesterday and the treadmill really wasn’t working for me beyond one 30 minute run. When I say the treadmill wasn’t working for me, I mean it […]
A few quick notes before recapping my workouts: I really like incline walking on the treadmill and wonder why I never chose it for cross training before this year. Expect it to continue throughout the winter — WHAT A WORKOUT. It was nice to run outdoors again yesterday. I’m not running outside in the winter […]
I was going to share my workouts per usual yesterday morning BUT I slept late and hadn’t scheduled the post. You didn’t miss much though — it was a pretty blah workout week since I was sort of sick with a sore throat followed by a cold. I didn’t run much and probably won’t run […]
It’s been a busy Thanksgiving weekend so I’m quickly checking in with my workouts from the week and hoping to have another post up tomorrow. Monday – 6 Miles It wasn’t too cold this morning which was nice. I started out very slow. While I was on the phone for the first 2 miles, I […]
