Weekly Workout Schedule – 8.12.13
Now that I’m officially training for my fall half marathon, I figured I’d start my weekly workout schedules again. I feel like they are a good way to re-cap my workouts and keep track of my miles. Last week’s schedule Monday – 60 min body pump Tuesday – 3 mi run + 19 mi bike ride Wednesday – Rest Thursday – 2.8 mi run + 2 mile walk Friday – Rest Saturday – 7 mi run + 2 mi walk Sunday – 20.5 mi bike ride Saturday I went on another long run, which was supposed to be around 6 miles. I was just going to run for an hour,…

Weekend Report
Happy Monday. Well, I had a pretty good weekend. It was HOT and gorgeous! Friday night after work Chris and I went to dinner at Sitar, an Indian restaurant on Central Avenue. Its been awhile since I did a local restaurant review! We ordered the sampler of appetizers, which came with veggie samosas and pakoras with a mint dipping sauce. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. My favorite her were the pakoras. For dinner I got the Navratan Korma (from the menu: mixed vegetables cooked with Indian cheese, cream, onions, & tomato gravy mildly spiced). It was delicious and so filling. Indian food isn’t complete without delicious naan, either.…

A 15 Mile PDR
Yesterday morning my running buddy Melissa came over for a long run. We have been running our long runs together for the past few weeks and its been enjoyable! Melissa is training for the Richmond Marathon too as well as a Triathlon. She’s running her Tri next weekend and I’m sure she will rock it! Anyway, we’ve been running through the countryside right outside Albany to make sure we’re getting our hillwork in. In the past, I’ve avoided hills but I’ve been meaning to run them more in preparation for the marathon as well as the Ragnar Relay we’re both doing in a few weeks. The Relay goes from Saratoga…

Apples and a Long Run
Saturday, the day before the Tour de Habitat, I knew I had to get a long run in or else. My next half marathon is in less than two weeks! The past few weeks have been super busy the last time I ran over 10 miles was three weeks ago. Every summer my pace suffers. I feel slower. And every year I blame myself, when in reality, I need to blame the weather. Enter 40 degree fall temperatures. Perfect running weather. I went to a local bike path and ran 10 perfect miles and felt great the whole time…I was fast (for me at this time) and I felt like I…

Apple Picking with Blends
Hola everyone. Hope you all are having a great weekend! Yesterday I got to spend time with some awesome Blends (Blogger Friends) and we went apple picking at Indian Ladder Farms along with a delicious brunch at their Yellow Rock Cafe. My blends are Lauren, Cynthia, Becca, Heather and my newest blends Nicole and Chelle! First, brunch! The Yellow Rock Cafe is located right inside Indian Ladder, along with their country store. I ate brunch here one other time after Yoga with Breathing Room. I went with one of their speciality sandwiches called the “Adirondack”: spinach, avocado, tomato and fresh mozzarella on crispy bread. It was fantastic. I believe they…
