Weekly Workout Schedule – 3.4.13
Last week’s schedule Monday – Rest complete Tuesday – 4 mi + bikram-style hot yoga complete Wednesday – 7 mi complete Thursday – 4 mi actual: rest Friday – Rest Saturday – 9 mi complete Sunday – Strength actual: 60 min body pump Total mileage – 20 Total running miles for February – 88 Things I noticed this week: hot yoga is way harder when I’ve already ran 4 miles that day. Sometimes school takes priory over workouts. I had an online test to do this week so instead of going to the gym after work on Thursday I took my test. My original plan was to run at lunch…

Weekly Workout Schedule – 2.25.13
Last week’s schedule Monday – Body Pump + 2 mi complete Tuesday – bikram-style hot yoga complete Wednesday – 6 mi complete Thursday – 4 mi actual: 3 mi Friday – Rest complete Saturday – 12 mi complete Sunday – Strength or Spin actual: 60 min body pump class Total Mileage – 23 After having a pretty stellar long run this weekend, I’ve been more motivated when it comes to running. I ordered some purple running crops which have me really excited to wear them on a run–when the weather gets a little bit warmer. I’ve also been thinking about spring races. The only races around here in the next…

Some New Tart Cherry Juice
We all know how much I love Cheribundi Tart Cherry Juice. I drink it a lot during marathon training, after races, and after strength workouts to prevent muscle soreness and fight inflammation. They recently sent me some of their new products to sample. Last night I tried the new Tart Cherry Restore. This flavor has 40 cherries and only 90 calories per serving. I liked that a lot because I’m a big fan of their Light Cherry, which has the same amount of calories. Restore cherry juice just has an added bonus. It contains high levels of vitamin B6, B12, Thiamin, Biotin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Panthothenic Acid and Folic Acid keep…

HMRRC Winter Marathon Relay 2013
On today’s agenda: Run a marathon relay in bone chilling weather of 20 degrees with zero degree windchill. Check. Almost get blown away by 20 MPH winds while running. Check. Today was the Winter Marathon Relay. This was the third time I’ve done this race. In 2011 it was freaking cold. It 2012 it was nicer, but still cold. And today was brutal. On my team this year was Carol (Leg 2) and Melissa (Leg 3). I was first so I had the 9.7 mile leg. The run was pretty standard. My legs were feeling a little tired for the first half but seemed to get better after…
