Some days I felt pretty good, some days I felt a bit eh, so I am still taking it easy. No reason not too. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner along with lots of other healthy-minded bloggers. Check them out for some inspiration! And linking up with Jenn @ Runswithpugs, Brandi @ Funnerrunner, … Continue reading Slow & Steady Does It: 3/25-31 WRD
Toegate: Runfessions March 2019
I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice at the Runfessional; last month's Shoegate (read it here) brings you this month's Toegate -- and don't worry, there are no photos. I'll explain further down in the post. I runfess . . . My massage seat has been laying idle for way too long. The problem is that I … Continue reading Toegate: Runfessions March 2019
Making Love Out of Nothing At all
March's earworm is Air Supply. Yes, I was actually a fan back in the day and even saw them in concert many decades ago. March is a big birthday month in my family, and there was a lot of celebrating going on. Almost had the entire family together Sunday, but were missing my brother & … Continue reading Making Love Out of Nothing At all
Easy does it: 3/18-24 WRD
Not a whole lot to report this week. Feeling better, but almost no running. No need to push myself. Since I'm mentoring for the Freihofers Training Challenge, it's a pretty perfect opportunity to ease back into running, as the challenge follows the C25K app. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and all the … Continue reading Easy does it: 3/18-24 WRD
It’s really about what you put in your body
I'm like many (but not all) women: part of why I'm active is about getting a little more wiggle room in what I can eat. Being vertically challenged and in my late 50s, weight management is an ongoing "exercise" in juggling food and activity. Fairytales and Fitness So what do I do when being active … Continue reading It’s really about what you put in your body
5 Things I eat on the run
I think many runners rely on the same tried and true fuel, until for some reason it's no longer working for them. I love trying new things, and I am almost constantly trying out new foods on the run when I'm running long. Honeystinger Chews Honeystinger is tried and true for me. I started out … Continue reading 5 Things I eat on the run
Going sideways: 3/5-17 WRD
By sideways I'm not referring to walking sideways on my treadmill, although I've been doing that -- and backwards -- at the end of some of my runs. If you decide to give that a try, don't forget to turn the pace way down! My week was off to a nice start. I've been slowly … Continue reading Going sideways: 3/5-17 WRD
My Quest for Steps
Or how I walked 5 miles in my house I wrote about my strange rungries and sleep disturbances when I started to run again after a short runbbatical here. This week I'm going to talk about how I managed to get in my steps -- even with bitter cold, no running, limited power, and no … Continue reading My Quest for Steps
When is it time for a break?
I am a firm believer that recovery is important -- and often overlooked by runners. I have written about the need for it many times (see the bottom of the post for links to more on recovery). How do you know when it's time for a break? I'm not talking about how to recover, but … Continue reading When is it time for a break?
Running through Winter: 3/4-10 WRD
We may have "sprung forward", and spring is technically just around the corner, but that doesn't always mean much up here in upstate NY. It was a very cold week until the weekend, and then there was snow and sleet this morning. We do have a warming trend coming up next week. It's definitely a … Continue reading Running through Winter: 3/4-10 WRD
