Cross Training

Feeling the Burn

January 20, 2010

Oh man, cross training is really kicking my butt. Since I can’t run right now, I’ve been concentrating on other ways to workout. I was trying to show my husband a new exercise I learned last night and I couldn’t even go through the motions. My butt and hamstrings are absolutely screaming for mercy.

Fantastic Workout

January 7, 2010

Oh, that’s going to hurt! Yep, it’s just the morning after working out with my trainer and I’m already sore. For me, that’s a bad sign, considering I’m usually the most sore a full 24-48 hours after an intense workout. Although, it really could be considered a good sign. I worked my booty off (literally, [...]

So many runners put in a ton of time to add up the miles. They eat good, nutritious meals. Then they flake out on strength training, a vital component to fitness. It isn’t just me, is it? Yeah, I didn’t think so. It can be difficult to incorporate strength training. In my case, I actually [...]

Strength Training

July 15, 2009

Oooh, the day after strength straining for the first time in a bazillion years…I hurt. My husband goes to a gym that’s on the other side of town so I’ve dug my heels in and refused to join for the last 9 months. Last night, I begrudgingly went with him and signed up for a [...]
