My Week in Workouts
My Week inĀ Workouts
Optional titles: My week in lack of workouts or Iāve come to a fork in the road.
Thereās not a whole lot to report for my week in workouts. A tendon in my left foot has decided it wants to be angry with me so I pulled the plug on running after Wednesday. Itās improving so Iām hopeful that I got it before it was a full blown injury. Iām hoping my chiropractor can squeeze me in this week andā¦

My Week in Workouts - Summer is Here!
My Week in Workouts ā Summer isĀ Here!
Itās another rundown of my week in workouts. It was a week of dealing with full on summer running. Iām not mad at the heat one bit. Bring.it.on.
I know this is a running and fitness blog but I have to acknowledge the state of our country right now. The killing of George Floyd made me sad and furious. As a white woman, I have no idea of what it means to be black. I feel helpless and I donātā¦

Best Calf Stretches for Runners
Best Calf Stretches forĀ Runners
My nemesis has always been my pesky calves. While they are super strong, they are also tight AF the majority of the time. Itās a constant battle to keep my calves in a happy place. If my calves are happy that means my feet and ankles are equally as happy. Iāve had my fair share of foot and ankle issues over the years, including one of a the most hated injuries for a runner ā Plantarā¦

My Week inĀ Workouts
Another week down, another rundown of my week in workouts. Going into the week felt like I needed a down week. No chasing vert. No picking up the pace on purpose. No distance goals. Just running what I felt like. I mean, thatās how I usually run with nothing to really train for right now but but Iāll have a certain numbers in my head that I want to achieve for each run. This weekā¦nothing.

Why You Should Never Start Running
Why You Should Never StartĀ Running
Iāve posted this in the past but with so many new runners out on the roads and trails right now, I thought it would be a good idea to warn the newbs about their dangerous as they start running.
Runners ā You see them everywhere. They look so happy, fit, athletic and strong as they grind out the miles on treadmills, roads and trails.
You want to be like that. You want to be a runner.

My Week inĀ Workouts
Another rundown of my week in workouts is on tap! It was a good week in workouts but it started off blah. I finally found out that the Mount Washington Road Race is completely cancelled for 2020. They had a back up date in August if they cancelled the June 20th date but the race organizers realized that the odds of a race of that size happening in August is still a big question mark. Iām sad notā¦

9 Tips for Hiking with Kids
9 Tips for Hiking withĀ Kids
One good thing about the global pandemic and stay at home orders right now is that more people are heading outside to enjoy walking, running, biking and hiking. People are finding ways to get fresh air close to home. That is awesome!
However, last weekend when we were out on a hike, it was kind of obvious that a lot of people out on the trails were new. And a lot of those new people hadā¦

Trail Running Etiquette
If you read my rundown of Last Weekās Workouts, you saw I had an annoying trail run on Saturday.
I know thereās a lot of people venturing off road these days. Thatās great but just because itās off road doesnāt mean there arenāt unspoken and spoken rules. In an effort to not so āGet off my lawn!ā way, I thought Iād share some basic trail running etiquette. Granted, the people that Iā¦

My week in workouts was causal. My ankles and feet have not been too happy about the longer distances on the roads searching for vert. So this week was going to be a down week of no expectations on pace or vert climbed. I was just going to do whatever I wanted. It worked because at the end of the week I was feeling rejuvenated and ready to go!

5 Workouts for the Whole Family to enjoy during the Coronavirus Stay-At-Home orders.
Letās be honest. When stay-at-home orders were issued because of the Coronavirus Pandemic, I thought Iād have SO much time to do ALL the stuff. Iād be able to cook so many meals from scratch. I was going to organize every junk drawer and closet. Iād be able to run for hours, strength train, get my yoga on and spend so much time stretching and foam rolling. I was going to be in the best shapeā¦

My week in workouts keeps rolling on! Just when I felt like we were getting into the swing of our new normal for now, my work schedule got changed. I only went in once last week. I was having trouble remembering what day it was before but that really threw me for a loop. I woke up multiple mornings thinking I had to go to work. I thought Friday was Saturday.

What to Watch and Read Right Now
With everything flipped upside down right now, Iām finding myself watching more TV and reading more books. Iām trying to stay away from the news. Iāll check in once a day on my phone but if I do anymore, I go down a rabbit hole of nerves and anxiety. So Iām trying to find other things to preoccupy my mind. Iām sure Iām not alone in this.
Way before there was any Global Pandemic talk, Iā¦

Happy Easter to everyone!
Itās hard to believe that itās time for another my week in workouts wrap up. The days of the week went by fast before the Coronavirus Pandemic but now they seem to go even faster. Maybe itās because Iāve lost all track of the days of the week. Iām still working albeit reduced hours and days but Iām still confused on what day it is.
