  • Monday Monday Workout

    I’m feeling better but not at my 100% but of course -well enough to get my butt out of bed and head for a workout! And of course I had to bang my shin on the metal barbell this morning -leaving a big bruise on my leg. That is such a ‘Stephanie‘ thing to do.…

  • To work or not workout –that is the question!

    It started Thurs mid morning — nausea, fatigue, lack of energy — and started to subside Friday evening after spending 2 solid days in bed. Not wanting to get out to even get water. It’s hard to be mom sometimes because there is no one around when you get sick to take care of you. …

  • HIIT Workout

    There are some mornings during my workout I think — What the heck am I doing out here at o’dark thirty, freezing my ass off running with a 45lb sandbag over my shoulders? Does it really have to be this hard to stay in shape? Probably not –but it wouldn’t be nearly as fun. See…

  • Rainy Day Workout at Plumbline Training

  • Start the week workout with 200m OH run – is it fun?

    Happy Monday right? As long as I have been getting up at o’dark thirty, you would think it would be easier but it isn’t. I still wake up on Mondays with the ‘it can’t be 5a yet feeling‘.  I get up anyway because I know I will feel great once I am there and then-…

  • Play harder: can Children’s researchers quantify fun?

    It’s Sunday – which means rest day and get the house ready for back to school Monday. I felt like baking this morning, so zucchini bread is in the oven baking. I made it with whole wheat flour this time, so it will be interesting to see if my family notices. I will share the…

  • Run.

    A slow day here in Northern Virginia. I woke up and headed to Kimmy’s house for a run. We did about 4 miles today. The air was cold and crisp and it made it tough on my asthma. After we finished the run we headed over to meet our friend Melissa’s new Puppy – Laney!…
