Fartlek. Fart lick. Fart leck. Fartlek is by the far the oddest term I ever learned in my running days. It's odd to say it out loud, but actually doing this is so beneficial to runners. While I no longer run, I wondered if I could somehow achieve this on the elliptical. Fartlek is running …
Pun intended on my title. I wish my hip would allow me to run. Will it ever again? However, Sara invited me to the gym today for the final workout of the year. I donned my new running britches and was ready to go. I have a note near the end of my blog about …
A great NFL game was coming on today. Sara asked if I wanted to do elliptical with her. YES! My weekly workout will still happen. With the holidays approaching (and more eating, of course), I thought I better kick it a little harder today. It's always important to eat a balanced meal, 80% healthy, and …
I'm so excited I have to write another blog. The elliptical has truly been a huge turnaround. Sara invited me to go to her gym again today. She wanted to work off some of her thanksgiving dinner. How many of us ate too much on Thanksgiving and feel a little guilty today? Me. Me. Me. …
I have really been battling hip pain trying to run or walk. Makes me beyond frustrated. Then the weather is turning colder and days are shorter. Just a double whammy of negativity. I'm starting to get a little lazy in my eating. That's a big no no. It has taken me eight months to get …
Hard to believe I've been working from home for many weeks now. It's easy to go stir crazy. However, the secluded me is loving this quarantine. I have a great manager who encourages the work/life balance. I'm doing so much better at turning off at lunch, and at the end of the day. A typical …
It's been a week since I purchased my new running shoes. (Blog: My New Kicks). Yesterday was my fourth time using them. I have to say I think they do make me run faster. I read where it would take a few runs for my joints to adjust to the alignment. That reviewer was NOT …
Still in quarantine over here, but I'm sticking to my guns. I have made a conscious effort to step away from my computer at work to move! Today was my third day to wog. I was on the darn dreadmill twice this week. Today it was 64 outside. I would have been a fool to …
We are in the woes of the coronavirus quarantine. I will not talk about it because there are enough articles, comments, and posts. I'm working from home due to this 'outbreak' so I'm going to write about how I'm managing. Life has been throwing me bowling balls while I'm trying to balance dishes in both …
Soon it will be 2020. A new year. A new decade. As I get older, time really is speeding by. That can be a good thing..hurry up and get me to retirement. ha. In my past, I have been one to always be super fit. I ran all the time. Age, surgeries, and injuries caught …
