20-Minute Boredom Fighter Workout

As soon as track practice was over today I zipped home to change and ran to a park 5 minutes from my apartment for a 20 minute bodyweight workout. With all the running training I've been doing in preparation for the marathon in May, my strength and weight workouts...

Obsession Confession #3

This has been a crazy busy week and I have to say I am so looking forward to the weekend, as I'm sure most of you are as well. With track season now in full swing, I haven't been home before 6 any night this week. Since I'm used to being home around 4, I am really...

31 Days, 100 Moves March Fitness Challenge

Happy almost TGIF! I don't know about you, but this week has been super busy, stressful, and overwhelming for me. I am definitely ready for a new one. Some positive news is that I am ahead on my monthly mileage! Secretly, (not anymore) I want to attempt to run 1,000...

March Madness Challenge

*Registration for this challenge is now closed. Check "Training Programs" for the next one!* I had so much fun training a hard working group of women during the Mile A Day Melt Away during January and February, that I want to do it again! How can I not when results...

Orange Theory Fitness

This morning, I dragged Rob over to an Orange Theory Fitness class. They were offering a free trial class, and I wanted to see what it was all about. Holy moly! I thought I was in decent shape, but Orange Theory basically handed me my butt on a platter. The trainer,...

Mile A Day Melt Away Training Program

With the new year fast approaching, many of us take it as an opportunity to make resolutions. Whether you consider it a resolution, challenge, or goal, the first of the year is a good time to start, re-begin, and renew. If one of the resolutions you've been mulling...

Break it Up Interval Workout

Thank goodness for today! I am feeling so much better than I was on Sunday. My first observation out of three went very well. Just keeping my fingers crossed that the other two are the same in the next few weeks. A solid few hours of NASM studying was accomplished....

Boredom Buster Full Body Workout

Happy New York City Marathon Day! With last year's race being canceled due to hurricane Sandy, and all the heartbreak surrounding Boston, today's race feels extremely special. I am currently live streaming the race. The elite racers are so impressive! Today is also...

Sprint / Lift Combo

It is really only Tuesday? I feel like this week has been going rather slow. Today especially seemed to drag. Anyone else feel that way? The good news: I used my new food processor to make these bad boys today. Bring on the iron. On a different note, I've been a...

Heavy Time Nine Progression Lift

Monday at the gym, my body was exhausted. I barely made it through 10 minutes on the bike and a few bicep burls and lunges before I decided to call it quits. I just wasn't feeling it. After taking Tuesday off, I hit the gym on Wednesday feeling energized, refreshed,...

Biking it Out

Considering my foot has been really bothering me all week, all of my workouts started with the stationary bike. I would have taken my bicycle riding outdoors, but I have yet to buy a bicycle. Monday - 35:00 run (4.20 mi) - Descending Sprints Tuesday - Off Wednesday -...

Karma

Well, today is a little disappointing, but probably deserved after my gloating. Yesterday, I headed to the gym in my new Asics and heel inserts and hit the treadmill for 35 minutes of speed work. The Asics I use have a stability bar to stop me from overpronating. My...
