It was a fun weekend… mtn biking, tons of road biking, kayaking (almost 10 miles!), parties… mmm 🙂 And Halloween was fun, 'cause I got new running shoes! They are shiney and purple! It's great! So I'm a slacker and going to miss yoga and swimming tonight. I'm kinda sad, 'cause I was really looking…

Ok ok, I get it. So I wasn't supposed to work out this weekend… there could have been an easier way for the forces-that-be to let me know! First they gave me a false sense of security… 12.5 miles of running and a good karate class started off my weekend. This accoomplisment continued into Saturday…

I'm definitely pleased with my new Friday morning loop for running. I did it for the second Friday in a row today. It really takes exactly 2 hours, and has some spots at the end where it will be easy to add a mile or so when I'm in the mood. It starts with some…

I just have had too much to do at work to log on here and update for a few days! So here is a quick summary of the last few days. Monday had a nice easy run with my roommate. We did 5 miles total: walk .25 mi, then run .25 mi. Except at one…

The weekend started well — 2 hr run on Friday morning before I had karate class. Although I started the run about 45 minutes later than I meant to (I should have done some martial arts practice and a lesson before class) I kept going for the two hours. I'm glad I did… I managed…

And here I was thinking I was going to need to start getting used to cooler weather. Just did a 6 miler to get a break from the desk, and it was boiling! Definitely not used to that kind of heat and wind and such right now… I got back and checked, and it's 93-97…

So I go to swim practice to improve my technique. I can swim too fast on my own. Since I got back after the bike wreck I've been in a faster lane, and I feel like I'm not working my form at all since I'm trying to hit the times for the lane. Today I…

It was a pretty damn sweet weekend! Friday left work early and took the mountain bike out for 10k. Not super far, but far enough to get a better feeling for it. It wasn’t quite long enough, but was still a fun ride, and I was still tired from climbing 🙂 Saturday morning was the…

The weekend was great — took out the kayak with a good friend, and then was very very lazy all day Sunday. Yesterday I started more of my regular workout schedule, as it hadn't normalized since losing the cast. I swam in the morning — 2600 yds in sets of 200s with target times near…

I might get it off today! In honor of this event, I finally have a pic of the current cast, complete with running mileage and GPS: Note: the bar alongside mileage means it was all in one day. The two sets of about 11 miles last Saturday (one morning, one evening) and the 3 runs…
