I got in on the very last day for a 90 day free Peloton app trial. I have recently finished that trial, and I'm staying on. I actually took some form of class every day in July except for one. What I liked about it: The variety: there are classes in: Strength, Yoga, Cardio, Meditation, … Continue reading I tried it: Peloton App
Just what the Doctor Ordered: 7/27 – 8/2 WRD
Garmin was back up. Temps were just a little down. The makings of a great running week, right? Except I knew I needed a break from most activity -- and I took it. After several days I felt a whole lot better, but I still had little desire to run. Or really tax my body … Continue reading Just what the Doctor Ordered: 7/27 – 8/2 WRD
The things bugging me: Runfessions July 2020
The main theme of my runfessions for July is the bugs, heat, and humidity. Ants don't bother me on the run, but they do sometimes bother me on my Yoga mat (outside). Summer puts a lot more meaning into the phrase "what's bugging you", right? I runfess . . . Nasal breathing does not protect … Continue reading The things bugging me: Runfessions July 2020
Fighter: July 2020
July was actually rather busy. A 30 hour meditation course. 2 trips to mom. A fun daytrip. Family Zoom call. Routine vet visit for Lola (Bandit needs one, too). Filming videos (which lately seems to always be a struggle). Myself and my loved ones are healthy. My mom tires a lot easier -- as … Continue reading Fighter: July 2020
The Runaround: 7/20 – 26 WRD
. . . Or GarminGate? It was a busy week. A visit to my mom. 2 zoom calls the next day, one to wrap up a course I was taking, the other a family call -- some of my cousins were in on it this time, so that was nice (haven't seen them in years, … Continue reading The Runaround: 7/20 – 26 WRD
What can you do . . .
. . . to make it more fun? Last week I wrote about running not always being fun (read that post here). Lately running has actually been fairly strong for me, but the bugs! They're not even biting bugs and they're still sucking the life out of my runs. Or making me faster because I … Continue reading What can you do . . .
Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes
Ever seen the show or movie "Rent"? Then you might recognize my title. That's how many minutes there are in one year. How will you spend them? Will you spend them in fear? Or flying past the fear? It's easy to be fearful I know that some of the people in my life think I'm … Continue reading Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes
Hamilton Touring: 7/13 – 19 WRD
We got even further out of our neighborhood this week with a small day trip. The dogs and I enjoyed it, anyway. Mr. Judy enjoyed the ice cream. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and getting lucky with the weather for my runs this week. Mostly. Workouts update Monday: 3.24 non technical trail miles, … Continue reading Hamilton Touring: 7/13 – 19 WRD
Newsflash: It’s not always fun
Wendy @ Takingthelongwayhome recently made the comment of why do it if it's not fun (or words to that effect) when she decided to drop down from a 50k to a half. This is not a rebuttal to Wendy's post -- we all have our reasons for training or not training, for skipping runs or … Continue reading Newsflash: It’s not always fun
It all adds up
You don't have to spend an hour -- or more -- at a time to get fit. In fact, I would argue that if you work out for an hour, then sit on your butt the rest of the day, you're probably losing more fitness than you're gaining. It's much easier to fit in 10 … Continue reading It all adds up
