Thursday, after a glorious thunderstorm, the weather took a change for the better and allowed ideal ultimate frisbee weather! Playing a late game meant that the sun was well down before we even took the field. It was cool from the rain, but still very humid. With the activity, we were quickly sweating buckets. It …

Full body focus
I would be lying if I said I did not feel my workouts from the last two days after a week of barely any training. But to be honest? I am one of those people who just love to feel the burn and have stiff, well used muscles! It makes me feel like the workout …

Getting back to the Grind
Well, I knew it would be hard to get back into my regular routine, but that I just had to do it. Today, when the alarm went off at 5:45 am, I did NOT want to roll out of bed and get changed into workout clothes. Thankfully, I was prepared for this! I had already …

So, today is my first day home after a week of life on the road. I struggle with hydration at the best of times, but on the road, I am seemingly permanently dehydrated. At home, I never go anywhere without a ~16 oz reusable water bottle. My aim is to drink 4 of those a …

Workouts while travelling part 1: preparation
So today, I’m back on the road again after only one day at home. And while I managed to get a run in yesterday morning, all of this travel is really putting a damper on my training. Especially when the cheapest hotel you can find doesn’t have a hotel gym…… Enjoying some sun while my …

Returning to the Groove
As I mentioned in a previous post, I injured my knee on Thursday. I babied it all weekend as much as I possibly could, giving it R&R, ibuprofen, and avoiding anything that gave any twinges of pain. However, it was a very busy weekend, so complete rest was not really an option. This weekend, my …
