It was super frigid the past week. I did all of my training indoors despite wanting to get outside. I'm going to work backward a little here, but stick with me.

The First Week of Training

Tuesday, February 16, 2021Tuesday, February 16, 2021 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

My first week is complete on my new training plan. I'm using the fat-burning marathon training plan from Jeff Galloway's book "Marathon." It is a nice breakdown of regular weekly walk/jogs, a good build up in distance, and includes days of cross-training. In addition, I like that the focus is on completing time vs. distance … Continue reading The First Week of Training

Miles go by faster with friends.

Friday, February 12, 2021Thursday, February 11, 2021 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

Since my high school years I've always loved walking with friends. We used to walk on the boardwalk at night, then grab a snack, or hang out at someone's house. Walking in the summer evenings was a great way to move our bodies (I wasn't fitness centric then, though) and relieve the stress of those … Continue reading Miles go by faster with friends.

This was my first week on my new training plan. The week isn't over yet for a few more days, but I was reminded by Chris to take it one day at a time. I had a moment after I registered for a race when I thought, "What did I do?!" and felt like I … Continue reading Training Plan and Peroneal Tendonitis

It’s time to begin.

Monday, February 8, 2021Monday, February 8, 2021 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

Many years ago, in 2008, when I first joined Twitter I declared that I wanted one day to be an ultra runner. At the time I told my office mate Judy that I planned to become an ultra runner after I turned 40. So, I let her know to remind me if I still worked … Continue reading It’s time to begin.

A Simple Home Gym

Sunday, April 26, 2020Sunday, February 7, 2021 ~ Kate

It's been somewhat difficult to stay motivated amongst the current pandemic. The first week, I sailed through on my regular schedule. I woke up early, worked out, and then got to working from home while also teaching our children their schooling. The second week and beyond became a bit more difficult to stay in the … Continue reading A Simple Home Gym

In-Depth Review of the Peloton Digital App

Friday, February 28, 2020Sunday, February 7, 2021 ~ Kate

I joined Peloton Digital back at the very end of November 2019; three months to be exact! I signed up originally for the FREE 30-day trial to see if I would be motivated enough to workout at home with their digital videos, as I was searching for an alternative to crossfit. With the Peloton Digital … Continue reading In-Depth Review of the Peloton Digital App

I first stumbled upon the Peloton Digital App while I was searching for an alternative to Crossfit. I wanted to find some way to keep on a schedule and stay motivated to work out. I wasn't ready to just go back to a simple running plan and try to add in strength training as I … Continue reading Peloton for $500 or less!

I quit Crossfit.

Wednesday, December 11, 2019Sunday, February 7, 2021 ~ Kate ~ 1 Comment

I was in love with Crossfit until I was no longer in love with Crossfit. In October, I hit a wall. After 5 months of Crossfit, my body was in a lot of pain, I was having a lot of difficulties completing even scaled workouts and sticking within their time caps. I hurt my shoulder … Continue reading I quit Crossfit.

In the spirit of brevity, I'm just going to give you a quick recap again of what I've been up to these days. When I haven't been able to make it to a scheduled Crossfit class, I've been using their open gym times to get my workouts in. Last week, Chris bought a new car, … Continue reading Working Out, Whole30, and a Triathlon
