Re: Fitness (Diet/Exercise) 2018: One Step At A Time
Thought: I need to cut back on coffee. A 12 cup pot gives me four 14 oz mugs per day. As a member of the "clean plate club," I see an obligation to kill the pot every morning.
When I was losing weight, I reduced the size of my plate. And in the same vein, I'm wondering if reducing the size of my coffee pot will help. I was leaning toward either a Chemex or a French press...Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

As an added bonus you can try to be a pseudo coffee snob with one.In the immortal words of Jean Paul Sartre, 'Au revoir, gopher'.

Good. I can run long-ish (15.5 miles and lower) distances again. I can do HIIT workouts. I don't even feel drained. But I know a few things that temper my enthusiasm:
1. The days of racking up more than 1200 miles in a year are done.
2. River Bank 25K will say a lot about my long distance future.
3. Marathons may have to wait for awhile.
4. I can't do HIIT workouts on back to back days.
5. Emphasizing core, hips, glutes will prevent another sciatica trip.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

Re: Fitness (Diet/Exercise) 2018: One Step At A Time
I'd like to start getting into running.
I've always been fairly active, but unless it involves a ball or racket I've never been into running for the sake of running. Started last week running about a mile on the treadmill every other day. Now that it warmed up I found a nice little route that's just over two miles.
I'll be running at least a 5k this summer and if the schedule works out I'd like to try the Big 10K.
What do you guys try to follow for training?Go Green! Go White! Go State!

Beyond that, I use Hal Higdon.
Piece of advice, though. These races will be held outside, so get used to running outside. In terms of weather, races are only usually called off in a thunderstorm or severe weather event. First time I did the River Bank 25K was in a colossal downpour.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

Re: Fitness (Diet/Exercise) 2018: One Step At A Time
I fully plan on running outdoors as much as possible. Mostly because I'm not sure if the treadmill is all that accurate at measuring distance, plus it's all flat. Also because I doubt there are any domed races out there, so it'd probably be good to train in the conditions I would be running in.Go Green! Go White! Go State!

Speaking of conditions: 4.4 today in cold, gray, wet, and windy. The "out" portion wasn't so bad, but the "back" was a grind. Then again, the first time I ran the River Bank 25K, it was in a torrential downpour.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

Re: Fitness (Diet/Exercise) 2018: One Step At A Time
One year ago today, I completed the Kal-Haven trail run, a 33.5 mile trip from Kalamazoo to South Haven.
This year, ultras and marathons aren't even in the picture. This year, I'm imagining half-marathons and 25K as if I'm doing them for the first time.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

Re: Fitness (Diet/Exercise) 2018: One Step At A Time
To prevent more tales of woe, I've been asking questions. "Can you do this? Should you do this? Are you adequately prepared for this?" And in terms of the marathon, my favorite distance, it's not gonna happen right now. I have so many unknowns with hormones and a busy schedule that I won't be able to carve out large chunks of time to get 15-20 miles in.
I'm also saying "Protect Your House." If something hurts and I can't explain it, or if I had a long day and feel too tired to run or do something intense, I'll switch down to yoga and Pilates.
