by Run Girl Run
posted March 23, 2011 at 2:11pm
Last night was my last session with my personal trainer. We focused mainly on arms and abs and I learned how to use a bunch of machines I'd normally never touch in the gym, like the cables machine.

by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 21, 2011 at 2:50pm
There are times when things go wrong.

On Tuesday my personal trainer warned me that I'd feel most of the soreness from all the squats and lunges that we did two days after the session.
He was right.
While I was sore yesterday, I'm even more sore today. And I'm very grateful that I have yoga...more

Celebrating the first bike ride of the season
by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 16, 2011 at 12:48pm
The grand total of distance was about 8.7 miles. The elevation profile wasn’t really worth nothing and things like time and miles per hour are still unknown to me. Actually, the only reason I know that we went 8.7 miles is because Mark announced it with...more

This week’s lesson: How to be brave
by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 15, 2011 at 1:47pm
Reviewing the workouts he had given me for the week, I told my coach that Monday’s swim workout was going to be hard. He had assigned me 400 yard sprints — at 20 seconds faster than last week’s pace.
Um, seriously?
Yes. Seriously.

Running Hills
by Run Girl Run
posted March 15, 2011 at 1:45pm
When I run by myself, I tend to walk up parts of some of the bigger hills on my route to help save my legs so they don't fatigue too quickly.

My hills are smaller than these
I never really thought that my quick walk breaks could be having a neg...more

by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 11, 2011 at 6:04pm
When my friend Hitch decided to chronicle his training and his battle with Meniere’s disease he aptly named his blog “Do What You Love.” Hitch loves to swim, bike and run and so he immerses himself in that. Even through the drudgery of his 9-5 job, ...more

20 miler. CHECK
by Chic Runner
posted March 8, 2011 at 11:11pm
FINALLY! I put this off, off, off. I’m speaking for myself, but I just loathe 20 milers in training. They make you SO tired, sore, and they just take so much time. Alas, running with a friend makes things THAT much more fun! Maritza and I met up on Satu...more

Good morning and happy Tuesday!
I'm happy to say my legs recovered fairly well from Saturday's speedy long run and I was able to do my easy run yesterday at a pace much quicker than I'm used to. If that's going to be the trend, I'll definitely be doing m...more

My legs hate me.
They're sore and achy and punishing me for jumping back into hardcore training after two weeks of rest. I took them on a super short recovery run this morning to help shake them out, followed that up with some very gentle foam rolling a...more

Getting an ass-kicking in the weight room
by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 3, 2011 at 9:09pm
Maureen is petite. She is cheerful and thoughtful and could easily kick my ass. Not in the metaphorical sense. I mean in the actual sense of snapping me in two. Her stature and nature have the ability to belie her power. Maureen is one strong woman — ph...more
