  • Exercise with an injured foot

    Mikey switched it up today and had us do Tuesday’s workout on a Monday. Imagine the horror!! He said he was trying to shake our bodies up –but between us, I think he forgot what day it was and set up for the Tuesday workout. We will never know! The pic to the left is…

  • Saturday Run on the trail

    My big sis Deb was out here visiting for the week. It’s been such a great week too. She got to spend one on one time with HB and my mom came down too. Although the heat got to her, she did manage to go out and see some sites too. It’s hard to live…

  • Workout in the Heat and Humidity

    Hot, humid = Sweaty!  It looked like we all just took a shower to give you an idea of how sweaty we were at the end of the workout. For me, it felt like I was getting back to my old self — I found the heavier weight challenging but not too hard — and…

  • Post Rest and Recovery Run

    So after a 4 day forced rest period – I got back to my routine with a scheduled run with my pal Kimmy. We met on the trail and I felt great. Together we did 6.5miles – it was a great morning weather wise. Lots of people on the trail. What a difference running with…

  • Day 1 – Forced Rest

    Dear Diary, Today was day 1 of my forced rest period. It may not seem like a big deal but knowing that I missed my boot camp was a mental challenge for me. It was great to sleep in an extra hour or 2. My body is still feeling fatigue so while I know I…

  • It’s a Struggle

    I’m struggling. My weight is up, my body fat is up – my motivation and morale are low. It’s very frustrating and depressing. I am not going to lie about it – it sucks! I don’t know what’s going on inside of me — I am trying to reignite the fire but it’s a struggle……

  • Post Race Recovery?

    It so beautiful outside.. 80’s and a breeze – I havent run on the trail in a few weeks so I knew it was a perfect day for it. I squeaked out a 5m run but not without stopping a few times.  I am not sure if its the strep or the trail race I…
