(In It For) The Long Run – the review of Week 15

Saturday. The day of the long run. Yesterday. The sun was rather resplendent, but the temperatures were not. Neither were the roads. It was going to be another of those days where I had to make another decision. Run outside? Get on my bike? Head to the pool? Get out my skis? Abandon all plansContinue reading “(In It For) The Long Run – the review of Week 15”

Let’s Talk Recovery (and review Week 14)

Ahhhh yes. Recovery week. That wonderful week where your training volume and intensity is decreased so you can reap the benefits of all the hard work you have logged over the preceding weeks. That wonderful week where not only my body gets a break, but so does my mind. This is my time to relax,Continue reading “Let’s Talk Recovery (and review Week 14)”

Serenity by Ski – Week 12 in Review

Three times this past week I attempted to start a post, so that I could get everyone updated a bit more frequently, and so I could avoid an excessively verbose week’s end review post. Three times this week, I had to lend my hand to other tasks. It never fails, at the beginning of everyContinue reading “Serenity by Ski – Week 12 in Review”

I wanted to swim, but….(Week 11 in review)

But it was 54 degrees out. In January. In Western New York. The air was still, and there was a partial clearing of the clouds in the sky. It was a PERFECT morning to run, a perfect spring-like day. In the midst of winter. The forecast for the remainder of the week looks grim: bone-chillingContinue reading “I wanted to swim, but….(Week 11 in review)”

I Made It! Weeks 9 &10 Review

Order restored. Thank you for your patience. I think I could have said this a lot recently. The past couple of weeks were a crunch time of sorts for me. I had to finish up my continuing education units for my NSCA certification, and I also had to get in all my courses and quizzesContinue reading “I Made It! Weeks 9 &10 Review”

Week 8: Recovery in Review

Well, this was certainly not the recovery week I was anticipating. Maybe I was recovering from a physical stand point, but mentally, there was no such thing. I believe I touched on this in my last post (Totally Out of Sync) and I will say that I am still totally out of sync. However, routineContinue reading “Week 8: Recovery in Review”

Weekly Review: Week 7

The hard week. I’d been looking forward to this week since the beginning of this cycle – I believe I even stated it in an earlier post. In fact, I know I did. It started out great, I nailed my treadmill intervals, I got in a long run (unexpectedly) that went supremely well. I gotContinue reading “Weekly Review: Week 7”

Week 6 in Review

It is once again Sunday evening, the close of another training week. It is the last week of November, which is also witness to that terrific holiday: Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is not a holiday about food. It is not a holiday about shopping. It is a holiday about…thanks. Giving thanks. Being grateful and expressing gratitude towardContinue reading “Week 6 in Review”

The Week’s End

It is Sunday evening, just past the 6pm hour, and I’m (not-so-)patiently waiting for the oven to declare its contents (lasagna!) ready for consumption. I had a good workout on the trainer today, and I immediately followed it up with one of my new yoga DVD’s from Rodney Yee. I love Rodney Yee. After 30Continue reading “The Week’s End”
