Look what happened over the weekend: Yes that is a sweaty me, but look at my wrist! I finally feel good enough to run outside with my Garmin. I literally had to brush off a layer of dust on this baby before I put it on and somehow it still managed to be charged enough …

I normally eat similar snacks throughout the day, carrots, dry cereal, rice cakes, bananas... Well yesterday I switched it up with some new treats and I was pleasantly surprised. This bag of sweet potato pop chips was the perfect amount of salty and sweet. And in a 100 calorie pack you can't go wrong. Later …
There are treadmill people and there are non-treadmill people. I never minded the treadmill, but only for my early morning workouts when I needed the distraction of the television and the safety of the brightly lit gym in the early hours of the day. Friday I was so excited to finally join the fellow treadmillers …
Sunday morning (middle of the long-weekend morning) I took advantage of the beautiful weather, the time of day and my fully recovered health to go for a long run. I am still working on perfecting my new mid-foot strike, so during my 7 mile run I was constantly trying to adjust my foot placement, posture …
L-O-N-G Those are the letters that spell out the word that you just read, LONG. That is how I would describe yesterday. I got up nice and early to get in a 4 mile run before making it to work at 8 am. I prefer running outside over the treadmill, but sometimes it's nice to …

Thursday morning, after spinning the night before I decided to give my poor legs a break and focus on my upper body. If you want a great arm workout feel free to try out Julie's set list here. I couldn't lift my arms to wash my hair afterwards! I did, however, find the strength to …
Yesterday's physical therapy appointment was a huge success. I was nervous after Tuesday’s morning run that I would be in pain today, but not the case. During the PT session I got to test out my version of Chi-Running and after a few little tweaks I was told I had caught on quite fast. It …
Do you ever feel like you never even had a weekend when you head back to work on Monday? I had a great weekend but as the alarm went off bright and early yesterday morning I felt like I never had a break. I convinced myself I would avoid the Monday blues if I started …
Well Friday night was on of the windiest that I can remember living here in SF. Dave and I armed ourselves with flashlights in preparation for a blackout but we lived through the night with all of our power. The wind continued into yesterday morning, making for a very difficult run. After battling the wind …
