After our massive snow dump a few weeks ago, we are already well into spring meltdown mode. This is what the streets in my neighborhood looked like last weekend: The week before last I did all my running (a total of 14 miles) around town in these less-than-delightful conditions. Thankfully, last week was spring break, […]
Moving forward: weekly wrap
My running mileage is gradually increasing, but other workouts met an unexpected setback this week. Monday Rest day. Tuesday Strength workout and 2.5 mile run. Wednesday I set out for 3ish miles and decided along the way to make it 4. Thursday I woke up to a notification that the roof of a gym at […]
Snow days…or not: weekly wrap
Every inch of snow piled on our patio furniture here fell over the past week. (And then a few more inches – I took the photo Friday morning.) We don’t get the things-are-cancelled type of snow day, though. So it was business/running as (mostly) usual. Monday Rest day, technically, but I did a restorative yoga […]
2 weeks of wrap
A small confession about last week’s lack of wrap: I was in the middle of a book series, and I….kept reading. In my defense, weekday binge reading would have been problematic. Considering my last WW title was “suspiciously productive”, maybe this one should have been “suspiciously unproductive”. Anyway! Last we talked about running, my goal […]
Suspiciously productive: weekly wrap
Last week was one of those rare weeks where everything goes almost exactly to plan. Nearly everything on my to-do list got checked off…except those couple of errands that have been there for weeks because they don’t have any sort of deadline. I can’t give the running schedule change I talked about last week all […]
Juggling: weekly wrap
Since this semester started, I’ve been struggling to fit runs into my new schedule. So even though my injuries feel fully healed, I’ve been stuck around a 10 mile weekly total all year. This week I finally realized the source of the problem. Monday Planned to run in the evening, but got home much later […]
Unknotting: weekly wrap
Fridays have not been my day recently. But at least the rest of the days are pretty decent…here’s how they went last week. Monday Still feeling the vertigo that started last Friday. Fortunately today was a holiday, so I took a physical rest day and also a mental mostly-rest day. Tuesday Vertigo was still hanging […]
Get me off this boat: weekly wrap
(Not an actual boat. We’ll get there.) Kim reminded me last week that I forgot to “recap” my PT appointment. The PT ran through all the SI joint tests and said it was moving as it should; I managed to pop it back into place while doing the assigned exercises. The only thing I should […]
Jumping back in: weekly wrap
I returned from my not-really-vacation last Tuesday and jumped back in to school the next morning. With all the work I had planned to do the prior week still waiting for me, along with 2 classes starting (1 as TA, 1 as student), I had no time to get myself together before the weekend. But […]
Holiday recap/2019 plans
It’s been a few weeks. My holiday trip to visit family was unexpectedly extended due to a hospital stay (not mine – thus no details here – but things are relatively ok now). Thus, I’m on my way home today just in time for the official start of the semester tomorrow. Nope, I’m not anything […]
