…You listen. You sleep. And no, this does not mean you can take advantage and say, ‘oh, this means I need to sleep all the time!’. No. That is not the correct interpretation. That interpretation is laziness. You do not meet goals and succeed that way. But I will not digress on that tangent further. BackContinue reading “When the body says ‘sleep’…”

Test Set Consistency
(Another Strava piece) I planned ahead in ways aside from my Tuesday morning workout – as in, I knew things were probably going to be running behind no matter what I did, so that made it a prime day for a test set workout. It was time for me to do one anyway – perfect! The assignment:Continue reading “Test Set Consistency”
You can’t make up for a crappy eating day
This post is taken from my post-workout Strava post this morning – my Strava posts have been blog-post-worthy as of late, so I thought I would share, as I feel maybe some of the little tidbits could prove lesson-learning for more individuals than just myself… It never fails – if you have a day where youContinue reading “You can’t make up for a crappy eating day”

Otherwise, if you want no-nonsense andContinue reading “Yes, I eat. All the time. And that includes cookies.”
I didn’t want to. And I almost didn’t. But I did.
My legs were sore, and my mind was tired, more so because of the soreness in my legs. Wednesday is brick day – more specifically – BIG brick day, and although I had mostly worked up the gumption and enthusiasm for the bike part, my mind was already set on not running after. ‘My legsContinue reading “I didn’t want to.

It Ain’t Always Pretty
Or comfortable. Today it was neither pretty nor comfortable. As I alluded to yesterday, today I had a strength session in the morning and mile repeats in the afternoon. The morning strength routine was great – I hit some numbers I haven’t seen in awhile, my form was looking good, and I was definitely feelingContinue reading “It Ain’t Always Pretty”
