My youngest asked if I’d bike to meet her & keep her company on her long run. Vacillated between biking w/her & then biking ahead & waiting to meet her when the bike & run path separated. Varied in speed & effort enough to get a great anaerobic workout! Averaged about 9mph, was doing about 6 w/her

Yesterday, I did another hotel workout. Just trying to maintain. The setup was not as fancy as my gym at home. The treadmills were ancient. No fan and room wasn’t climate controlled. I tried to make do by doing some of the fitness tests that were programmed in. Got some tempo work as a result.

I took four glorious days off from training due to sore feet. Came back strong on Thursday with abbreviated strength training—due to lack of equipment—and a 3.52 mile run at the hotel.

I presented at a conference at UCL back in 2015. I had only been out of the US one time prior. I did not understand that you needed to inform your bank that you were traveling. My credit card did not work. I had limited cash. My room & train tickets were paid for. However, I was unable to buy food.

Playing catchup after a full work week and low on energy. Got out for two runs. A recovery 5k and a 5 miler with a friend. She has RA and is trying to get back to form. Did two strength workouts, upper body and core. Mostly I’m back to normal. Only my feet are slightly sore. +sunrise!

Yesterday, I did my strength training session, followed by whatever running I felt capable of. Managed an hour and did some ladder intervals as well. Began with 8.4-8.0 for 30 sec each step, then 7.4-7.0 for 45 sec, then 6.4-6.0 for 1.5 min with a warm up and cooldown. Running #IndyMonumental in 8wk

Ragnar Trail Wisconsin was great! Well-organized and well-marked. My husband did it with me. It rained pretty much the whole time and was very slick. We hiked it rather than run. By the time we got to the red loop, there were quite a few that were hiking. It was alternating rocks and mud slides.

Good morning folks! This looks more exciting than it is! I tapered for Ragnar on Saturday, so double runs but only a total of just under 10k. Ran near the Lake in the AM. This AM ran to and from the gym, then did a deload core session & 10 min of intervals on the treadmill. 4 days until the race!

Tumblr post from every-lemon 
Sep 8

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

Poor Bloo has been a little sad since Razz moved out with my youngest. I’ve been trying to make her morning walks more exciting. We went to the lakefront this morning. I forgot it was Labor Day yesterday. There were picnic scraps all over the ground! It was more exciting than intended! 😂

Got 5.06 miles of interval training in this morning. Watch says I’m strained but I think that is on its way out. Sleep and HRV have been good the last few nights since recovering from the move. And my training readiness was moderate today. I’ll do a recovery run tomorrow since it’s a holiday.

Running when I was 30: Lace up shoes. Go outside. Run a mile with a friend. Eat a bagel as a reward. Running in your 50s: Eat slice of white bread with a little peanut butter, drink beet juice. Take creatine. Walk dogs. Do glute activations. Do drills. Warmup then run. Cooldown and stretch.

"The Peace of Wild Things"
By Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
