#Running

Last week was crazy intense with my trip to the Grace Hopper Celebration for Women in Computing (probably more on that soon), but I did manage to get four runs in! I ran two mornings while away in Phoenix which is what I was hoping to pull off, so I can’t complain. My Wednesday morning run was done on the hotel treadmill which was my first treadmill run since January, I believe. [Read More]

Finally, we moved! Last week was CRAZY trying to get everything done and get ourselves to the new place, but we made it and it’s awesome! I didn’t get to run at all during the week, but I’m not too surprised by that, I sort of expected it. On Saturday, I got up early and knocked out a nice 10-miler in Liberty State Park with the company of the wife and Dori for the first couple of miles. [Read More]

Yeah, last week didn’t quite go how I had hoped with running. My weekday runs went according to plan, but the weekend was a bit of a disaster. I was supposed to get up early as hell on Saturday to knock out ten miles and then get ready to go to a wedding, but when the alarm went off at 5:30, I decided a three-hour snooze-a-thon would be a better idea.

Okay, so last week didn’t exactly go how I would have liked for it to. It was actually an incredibly busy week and my running really suffered. :-/ My Wednesday run was shorter than planned and felt awful thanks to staying late at work for an Out in Tech panel about how social media is helping LGBT youth. There was beer and pizza, so, naturally, I had some. I spent most of my run feeling indigesty and crampy. [Read More]

Whew! It’s been a busy last three weeks! My days have been really long with the new job. I head out the door at 8am and don’t see my house again until about 12 hours later. By the time I get home, I’m completely worn out and beat, but I’ve somehow been managing to squeeze some nighttime runs in. I’ve been running 4-5 days a week still which I’m pretty impressed about considering my schedule. [Read More]

I actually feel like I had a decent week of running last week. I knocked out 24 miles which is the most I’ve done since the first half of July, but the most important thing is how I’m feeling. Each of my runs felt great and I’ve felt strong. Thursday’s five-miler turned into a 10k because I just didn’t want to stop. I was feeling amazing! And Sunday’s “long” run of eight miles felt unexpectedly awesome. [Read More]

Some oysters from dinner on Wednesday. They were very yummy! I only knocked out 19 miles last week, but considering I was traveling for work in the middle of it, I don’t think that’s too bad. My whole schedule ended up being thrown off. I planned to run Monday and Wednesday, but instead ran Tuesday and Thursday. Monday’s run got pushed to Tuesday thanks to my entire department (well, those of us who were actually in the office) deciding to get up at 4pm to just leave and go to the Mexican place down the street for tequila shots and a happy hour that lasted until almost 9pm for me and way, way later for the rest of them.
