I had a GREAT week of workouts. I like to think that my success was influenced by my new fitness accessories this week: Sparkly Soul Headbands! Since I’ve gotten it cut, my hair won’t fit into a ponytail. This makes a good headband essential. Seriously, I can’t workout without one these days! I was lucky enough…
A couple of weeks ago, I made reference to something I heard while attending a cooking class while on vacation: “Don’t buy food. Buy ingredients and make food.” Had I heard this, say, in my early 20’s I’d probably have shrugged and don’t given it much thought. But between a stint as a vegetarian and…
So thanks to Dorothy at MilePosts, I’ve learned that I am running my long runs way too fast. Using the McMillan Running Calculator, I inputted my current 10K PR of 58:25 (9:25 avg). This is what McMillan deduces for me: According to McMillan, my long runs are supposed to be 10:58-11:58 and my tempo runs are supposed…
I didn’t get a chance to have lunch today until 4:15pm. That’s the kind of crazy busy day I had at work. Running around from meeting to meeting all day long. Yikes! Not a good way to ease into the weekend. I definitely needed a little stress reliever when I got home. Good thing we…
You may notice that things look different around here. I’m renovating! My apologies if everything isn’t working just right yet. It’s a work in progress. I’m hoping to iron out the kinks over the weekend. If you know of a great header designer, please leave me a comment! In other news, I did something totally…
Little known fact: I was a swimmer far before I was a runner. I was on a swim team from the age of 6, but only started running as a teenager. Pin It I have only officially competed in one triathlon (the DC Tri Sprint), but I routinely incorporate swimming and biking into my training. Swimming…
I started reading Chuck Runyon’s Working Out Sucks last night. It was JUST what I needed. My last week of training was not exactly stellar. Monday: REST Tuesday: 3.36 miles (9:37 avg) Wednesday: REST Thursday: Hill repeats. 4 miles. Friday: REST Saturday: 3 treadmill miles with 2x800m repeats & 20 minutes weights. Sunday: 9 miles….
You’re being selfish right now, and it’s completely OK. You probably don’t even know that you’re engaged in a highly self-involved activity on a regular basis, but those around you may be well aware of it, or even resent you for it. That activity? Fitness, naturally. I know it sounds utterly incomprehensible that an activity…
I am a HUGE cereal lover, although I rarely just have a bowl of cereal in the traditional sense. I’d heard so many great things about Attune Foods cereals so I was thrilled that they wanted to send me some samples! Is that a friendly note or what?! Attune Foods uses only whole, natural ingredients to make…
Pin It I know I wonder what some of you do on any given day. Here’s a glimpse into a pretty typical Saturday for me. Brunch and errands around the neighborhood. It’s technically Rockville, but getting rebranded as North Bethesda. I tend to refer to it as White Flint, since that’s the metro stop (and…
Hi, I'm Brigid. This is my journey in living an active, healthy life as I approach my 30th year. I try to focus on the positives, eat more veggies, run more miles, and not sweat the small stuff.
