Workouts, races and more
I’ve had a couple of great workouts I wanted to share with you. Then, some not-so-good news.
First, I’m finally starting to enjoy my light weight/high rep lifting sessions. Back when I changed it up for increasing endurance, I was lamenting the loss of muscle I expected to happen when I went from high weight/low rep […]

Begin Again
Another cycle has wound its way down and it’s time to start the process over anew. Last week was a “recovery and rebuild week.” And this weekend I worked on my training plan for the next 25 weeks. My new multi-purpose schedule concentrates on endurance and will see me through a variety of events, including:
Either […]

Sunday report
It was a bright, sunny Sunday around these parts (with occasional cool relief from mild cloud cover). So I slathered on plenty of sunscreen, loaded up my race pack and went out for 21.1 hilly miles with my Grand Canyon training group.
Many of the cross-country trails on which we usually walk were decimated in the […]

Day’s plans
Today’s workout plans include 3 miles at lunch and 3 miles and abs after work.
I’m starting to like it here at Typepad so I think I may keep the journal here and just have my domain name transferred. I mean, I never ended up doing anything other than the journal at my Web site (laziness? […]

Evening workout
Skies were threatening, so I took the easy way out and did 6 on the treadmill at the club. Okay, so maybe it wasn’t the easy way out: the air conditioning was not working in the fitness area and I would have welcomed a rain shower!

Early workout
Man, the allergies have been going haywire since yesterday at lunch time, including sneezing, teary eyes, itchy throat, and a full-blown asthma attack while I was cooking dinner yesterday.
I made it through the night, but my early AM workout was pushed to evening when I awoke at 4:45 with a killer headache and eyes so […]

Today’s workouts
Had a beautiful, fast walk on my regular running route this morning. I left the MiniDisk player at home and just listened to the birds — including mourning doves and roosters. Yeah, I live on the busiest street in Berrien County, but less than a mile from my home are horses and turkeys and llamas […]
