Did the 5 mile run on Monday (altered schedule and want to do long run at new gym). The track is great and the atmosphere there is superb.
The trouble came at the end of my run. My calf had alot of pain when I stopped running. Kinda like a cramp [...]
My gym has made my training a nightmare and since it was -15F this AM, there’s no way that I’m training outside any time soon.
Friday…I went to see the new gym. It was totally amazing! A great track, swimming pool, new equipment, NO STUDENTS. Just a great place. All [...]
The gym was so damn crowded tonight I didn’t even bother going in. Thursdays and Tuesdays are now completely out. Too many freebie gym users, who probably will not be going away until April.
For this week I’ll be moving the 3.5 mile run to tomorrow night, then 30 min cross on Sat (if [...]
Is it Friday yet? My legs are sore. Little aches and pains.
I did my 2.0 miles last night. I ran it at 5.0 mph with 1.5%. I’ve slowed down these runs because I’m supposed to be going at a slower pace than the long runs. Maybe I’ve been [...]
Yes, indeed my gym sucks. I was KICKED OFF the treadmill today for the first time ever. Apparently, I was about to exceed the 30 minute limit for cardio equipment and there was one of the stupid students waiting to use a treadmill. Ofcourse, she only needed to be on for 10 [...]
Ok, Friday was rest day (yeah!), Saturday I did 40 minutes of crosstraining, consisting of stairmaster and the Gauntlet, then Sunday I did my 4.0 mile run.
The long run was harder than last time. I get getting this cramp/muscle spasm on my right leg. If I stopped and swatted for 10 sec, it [...]
I missed my Tuesday run, then it snowed and I got home so late that I couldn’t get to the gym on Wed. Wed was supposed to make up for Tues. Today I did the 3 mile run but forgot to do the strength training afterwards. Tomorrow is the rest day and [...]
All I want to do is run. I want to run and follow my schedule and be able to finish the 1/2 marathon. Somehow, the rest of the world doesn’t want me to do that.
Tonight, I was supposed to run 3.0 miles at an easy pace. When I got to the gym [...]
The gym was an absolute nightmare. More college kids than ever! I did my extra long stretch session and got a few sets in on some of the weights but it was hard to find equipment.
New Year’s resolution #2: Monday workouts are done at home!
Friday - rest day! Yeah!Saturday - 30 minutes of crosstraining - Yeah!Sunday - 4.0 mile run! Aaarrrggh!
OK, I’ve never run 4 miles before so the fact that I made it was a great accomplishment. Actually, I did pretty good and if I have that good form at the end of the half [...]
