Boring Day for the Dogs

April 23, 2010

The morning felt crazy. I had an appointment to take my car in at 9:45 AM, I figured no big deal I could get a run in first. BUT for some reason I seem to have been running late, perhaps it was the desire to read just a few blogs before my run… So I [...]

Who would have thought walking would make me sore…

April 21, 2010

I woke up sore in all sorts of bizarre places. The tops of my ankles (where the shin connects to the foot), one butt cheek, my arms (no surpise there, thanks leash pulling monsters). So since yesterday was supposed to be rest and it wasn’t I did some cross training today on the bike and [...]

Doggie Day

April 21, 2010

The dogs thought that today was a fantastic day. I took the dogs to the Soos Creek Trail and we did 4 miles. This time I went the other way on the trail (toward Renton) and it felt very different, much shadier and the trees much closer to the trail and having to cross a [...]

Another Monday

April 19, 2010

Mondays always seem to come far too quickly. I headed out for a 2 mile run, it went slowly and smoothly, then I came home and did a full body workout on the bowflex. For breakfast I had a leftover waffle with some yogurt and blueberries. The garden is all cleaned up, all the weeds [...]

Another 5 miler!

April 18, 2010

I started the day with another 5 mile run! I found a new trail for my runs, the Soos Creek Trail runs from Renton to Covington and one of the access points is about a mile away so I drove down and ran this mostly flat (there were some rolling very mini hills) trail. I [...]

Mother Nature is a B*tch

April 16, 2010

Mother Nature really likes to screw with me. My first 5k race back in January, oh yeah it was that time of the month, nice. Today I really wanted a nice relaxing 2 mile run, no chance. A bit less than half a mile in I got killer cramps, I kept going to the half [...]

Why can’t it always be easy?

April 15, 2010

Workouts were a struggle today, I felt weak on the bowflex <sigh> I went out for my run, a 2 miler and that was okay, not great but I got through it, I had already planned to only do one set for each of the muscle groups on the bowflex. I’m glad I made the [...]
