While my longest long runs were definitely a bit of a struggle, I recovered from them really well. I am joining the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy and sharing eight, not five, things I did to recover properly. Most taken from my own posts on recovery! Walk it in I try … Continue reading 8 Ways I Recovered from My Longest Runs Ever
Long Runs
Where did summer go?: 8/29-9/4 Weekly Wrap
Last week I wrote that I thought things were looking up -- how wrong I was (as I got into a bit yesterday). I did my best to stay a little active while I was away -- it wasn't easy; the only thing that helped was that my parents don't get moving very fast in … Continue reading Where did summer go?: 8/29-9/4 Weekly Wrap
The heat is on: 8/22-28 Weekly Wrap
A few cool mornings in the beginning of the week, but then the heat and humidity returned. Friday was really unbearable; luckily my first double digit run of this training cycle was Saturday. Find out how it all went down below. I think maybe things are looking up, even so, and I'm wrapping it up with the … Continue reading The heat is on: 8/22-28 Weekly Wrap
Come run with me: 8/15-21 Weekly Wrap
I still spent a lot of time on the couch this week, but I returned to the land of the living with some dogwalks, a few runs, and just a tiny bit of strength training. By the end of the week, despite moving more, I no longer felt so worn out. Until Bandit had diarrhea … Continue reading Come run with me: 8/15-21 Weekly Wrap
To race or not to race: 8/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Mr. Judy has some nasty allergy/cold thing going on (turned out to be the office virus). I had a slightly scratchy throat Sunday night, and laid there wondering if I should take an extra rest day. I didn't, and I had a great run on Monday. And that was the only run I had all … Continue reading To race or not to race: 8/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Cookie recovery: 8/1-7 Weekly Wrap
Another week, more frustrations, but overall, not a bad week and I'm not even going to rehash the frustrating stuff -- I whined enough yesterday over tea -- except for Tuesday's run -- that was majorly frustrating and most of you are runners and that's why you're here. It's kind of a long one, so grab a cookie or two … Continue reading Cookie recovery: 8/1-7 Weekly Wrap
This Time it was User Error: 5/2-8 Weekly Wrap
This week went a lot better than last week. Sort of. A few annoyances -- like the never ending rain (or so it seemed), the on & off achiness of my ankle, some screw ups with my Garmin. All in all, though, a solid week. I'm wrapping up my week with the Weekly Wrap from … Continue reading This Time it was User Error: 5/2-8 Weekly Wrap
Too Much Brotherly Love?: 4/25-5/1 Weekly Wrap
Damn, I was looking forward to this week. It was supposed to be my highest mileage of this training cycle, my longest run, the second time in months I managed 4 runs in one week, which meant the majority of those runs would be shorter, easy runs. Instead, shortly after I posted last week's wrap … Continue reading Too Much Brotherly Love?: 4/25-5/1 Weekly Wrap
Houston, We Have a Problem: 4/18-24 Weekly Wrap
The title refers to several gear/fuel problems this week. While my ankle felt almost normal all week -- including today, after my 10 mile long run -- I think the real story this week was the lovely weather. Running in tanks and skirts -- I've missed you! I just feel so free when I'm not … Continue reading Houston, We Have a Problem: 4/18-24 Weekly Wrap
We were trumped: 4/11-17 Weekly Wrap
We celebrated my Dad's birthday again last weekend with a lunch at the Culinary Institute of America for all the grandkids, siblings, my cousin and her husband who live not too far away, and of course, my parents last weekend. So I was on a bit of social media diet this past weekend. Did ya … Continue reading We were trumped: 4/11-17 Weekly Wrap
