Runners are Thinkers - Random Running Thoughts

By
I had meant to do a Tasty Tuesday recipe today. But I was lazy over the weekend and didn't edit the photos. I was thinking about that on my morning run. I was thinking a lot actually. I'm certain that most runners tend to have a million and one thoughts flitting around during any given run. If you're like me, they come in spurts and rarely string together. SQUIRREL.

Just for fun, I thought I'd share some of the random, flitting thoughts from this morning.

  • How is it already 65 degrees, we didn't even make it to 65 degrees Thursday through Saturday. 
  • Thank goodness for the wind.
  • Ok, that's enough wind. 
  • I think I'll stick to 6 miles today. Definitely no more than 7. 
  • It might be a really pretty sunrise. Maybe I should have headed north first. 
  • I can't believe how light it is already. 
  • Why are there so many people out driving around at this ungodly hour? Shouldn't they be sleeping?
  • Only runners should be out this early. 
  • I hope there are cars coming at the next intersection. 
  • Ok, too many cars. Hurry it up already.
  • I'm defiantly not running around the Arts Center today. High five to that. 
  • Crud, I'm going to miss the sunrise I think. Should have gone north first.
  • Wait, gates, tents, what's going on. 
  • What do you mean I can't run through there, that's my route. That's MY route!
  • Stupid Riverfest. Why are they setting up already, it's only Tuesday.
  • Now I have to figure out another route. Which way can I go ... hmmm ... 
  • Oh look, other runners!
  • Ok, why do they keep digging up the streets? That makes it so hard to run on. 
  • I would run on the sidewalk if they were remotely decent, and now the street is all torn up. 
  • Man I need the wind. I should have brought water.
  • I hate carrying my water bottle.
  • I need to do weights at lunch. Yep, weights at lunch for sure.
  • What mile am I at. Man. I have to go around the Arts Center after all. Shoot.
  • Oh look, I hit mile 7 really close to the Little Rock Marathon Mile 7 Marker. That's kind of cool.
  • Guess I'll finish out to 8.
  • Ready to be done.
  • Hopefully I'll stop sweating.


  • But first, let me take a selfie.

Mid-Week Mix-Up - Disconnecting to Reconnect

By
Another Double Workout This morning I got up when Jason got up to go to swim. The plan was to do Cathe's MMA Kickboxing DVD then do back and triceps at lunch or after work. I really needed a day off from running - I had run 5 days straight. And wouldn't you know it that my cross-training day also happens to be the first morning in months that it was in the low 60's. Really? Talk about bad timing. I almost feel like I let the universe down by not taking advantage of the crazy cool temps. And of course they go right back up the rest of the week. Humph.... But, I listened to my body, my feet, my piriformis...all telling me to not run. So, I didn't. I did my kickboxing workout (sulking just a bit I won't lie). But it was a good way to "kick" off the morning. During lunch, I ran home to get in my back and triceps weights done. I went with my same back and triceps workout as last week. No gym means no assisted pullups or barbell rows. So, I do worry a bit

Workout Wednesday - Body Blaster Tabata

By
Happy Hump Day! I wanted to thank everyone for their comments on yesterday's post: Be Kinder to Your Body. Calories are Not the Enemy . It sounds like it resonated with many of you. Today I wanted to share a new workout with you. I've been working on interval workouts for some of my clients. I try to give them the most bang for their buck (time). I know that in an ideal world, we would all have time to do longer workouts. There would never be scheduling conflicts, sick husbands or kids, or sick us. In reality, workouts need to be effective and efficient. And they don't have to be lengthy to be effective and efficient either. There's no need to spend hours in a gym to get in a good workout. Interval workouts like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or tabata, or even interval running are great ways to get in a fantastic workout in a short amount of time and have many benefits. You can read more about Tabata workouts  here . The benefits of this type of work
