It’s been a different kind of week around these parts, so Brigid figured what better way to finish it off than to give me the reins on a Friday Five. Here we go! Did somebody say Graston? I’ve been getting treatment on a lingering shoulder issue since late last week, and part of the program…
When Brigid and I first moved into our condo in suburban Maryland, the only gym in any proximity was a Bally’s in a nearby strip mall. It was outdated, overcrowded, and just unpleasant but hey, a guy’s got to get his pump on. The worst part, though, was the ability of personal trainers and their…
Hey y’all, Mr. Huzzah here, filling in for an under the weather Brigid. While she coalesces with the help of ginger ale and tiny dogs, I figured this was as good a time as any to talk about dealing with illness and injury, especially when preparing for something major. Two quick stories of my own…
Happy February! I always like the beginning of a new month. It’s like a fresh page of life. So many new opportunities to shoot for! I was thrilled to read about the Fit in February Challenge on The Purple Giraffe! She has a ton of great healthy activities to strive for during the month. I’m…
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…
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 bet by now you all know how important I think stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things are. Variety is the spice of life! I’m always striving to expand my palate of foods, activities, routines etc. Here are a few totally new things I’ve tried this week: Pinterest. Pinterest is a virtual…
Mr. Huzzah and I are celebrating a belated Christmas with his parents and siblings this weekend. We both have Monday off of work, so it was an ideal time. One of the great things about going to his parents’ house is that we can bring the dogs. Cecil and Karley get so excited to hang…
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.
