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 …
I did not realize I haven't written in over a month. I am way behind. I have full intentions to do so in my mind, but work is super busy. By the time I get around to it, I'm a tad exhausted. Yep....I'm full of excuses. I'm so glad to be back at work. I …
I’m not into the ‘new year, new me’ saying. It’s still me; but I just need to do better. Who doesn’t? I didn’t do the elliptical for a week. I knew I had a big event a few days ago that would test my walking abilities so I made sure I rested my new hip …
I’ll soon be six weeks post op. I had to humble myself and ask for something for sleep. Since surgery, I have been slept a total of four hours each night. There is no comfortable position and I feel every movement, which keeps me awake. My surgeon suggested different things to where I’m learning to …
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 …
I have whined for months about how much my injury way back in the spring affected me. I'm still whining. My weight is up. Trying to find my mojo has just been tough. Work has been super busy. I have been working extremely long days trying to finish end of year projects. I have felt …
