Happy Friday, friends! How’s your week been? I’m in the midst of finals, group projects and just trying to get stuff done for my last semester of grad school classes, so apologies for my lack of post yesterday. A morning of grant writing lead to a sweaty workout at the gym which was followed by [...]

It was a stadium start and finish, with a whole lot of hills in between at the Tar Heel 10 Miler on Saturday! It’s a little warped how, when you’ve recently run a half marathon, a 10 miler doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. I literally rolled straight out of bed into my [...]

Tank top weather is right around the corner. I’m suddenly paying more attention to those dumbbells at the gym to tone up my arms and shoulders! I came up with the sandwich workout yesterday: 4 toning & strengthening Tabata moves (focused on one body part) sandwiched between 30 minutes of heart-pumping cardio.  It’s designed to get [...]

Recovering from last weekend’s half marathon was going pretty well, or so I thought until my first run this morning. Anne and I met for our usual Thursday run before class, our first since the race on Sunday.

Every time I go down a flight a stairs I’m reminded of how much as* I kicked in Sunday’s half marathon.  By the way, how cool are  these stairs? The funniest part of my week was having to tell a nice, young man holding a door open for me on Monday that I was “going to be a [...]
