If wearing your Vibrams on the treadmill at the gym doesn’t get you any looks, taking a picture of yourself wearing your Vibrams on the treadmill at gym should totally take care of that. I actually don’t know if anyone gave me the stink eye on this particular day while donning my favorite pink toe … Read more
Last night I got to thinking about how much I enjoyed my treadmill run earlier that morning. It was actually really nice and I got a great run in without freezing my face off in the bitter cold wind and snow. This is slightly amusingly to me because I use to detest the dreadmill and … Read more
Today felt like an overnight oats kind of morning. Except I didn’t make overnight oats last night. Good thing “Overnight Oats” is just a trick of a name and it could more accurately be called “Just a Few Hours Oats”. Into a bowl at 6 AM: 1/2 a mashed banana, 1/2 c of rolled oats, … Read more
I was off dark and early to the gym this morning. I was |this close| to driving there, when at the last minute I put my keys back and just ran there in the dark instead. It takes me 5 minutes to get there by car considering the time it takes to give the car … Read more
For my work out this morning I planned to hit the machines at the gym. I was surprised to find that the temperature was only in the mid 40′s, so at the last minute I decided to warm up by jogging the mile to the gym instead of driving. Exactly 8 minutes and 19 seconds … Read more
Today’s day of calorie counting began with a freezing bike ride to the gym. Well, actually it was 33 degrees so I guess it wasn’t exactly freezing. I’m such an exaggerator sometimes. 30 minutes on the treadmill with some speed work intervals (4 two minute sets at 9.3) thrown in to keep things interesting – … Read more
Dark, dark, DARK. The mornings are so dark! Come on daylight savings time – Mama’s ready to set the clocks back! On my bike first thing this morning to ride – in the dark yet again – to the gym to pay my respects to the treadmill. I even dug out my reflective vest to … Read more
Today’s work out was my favorite ride-the-bike-to-the-gym, 10 minutes on the elliptical, 10 minutes on the stair climber, 10 minutes on the indoor track doing speed work, ride the long way home and wonder how on earth a 45 minute work out went by so quickly. In honor of Z-Man turning the big 3-2 today, … Read more
Thanks to a surprisingly warm morning, I rode my bike to the gym today. 5 minutes ride there + 10 minute elliptical + 30 minute treadmill + 14 minute long-way ride home = an hour work out that only felt like 40 minutes. That’s just the way I like it. Juice that is the same … Read more
My body alarm was apparently set for 6:00 this morning, because that’s the exact minute my eyes popped open with no alarm to be heard. I debated going to the gym first thing (Door #1) or waiting until the sun came up and going for a run outside (Door #2). After going to the gym … Read more
