The Lumberjack
Today's session with Stephanie was brutal. Not quite quivering muscles but certainly a lot of struggling to finish the sets. Nearly 90% of today's session was on the TRX, which I have now dubbed th... read more

#dailymission Training can be serious business, but incorporating fun is key, too. How do you do that?
I'll run with a friend if I can. Otherwise I'll jump in puddles. Or creeks. Or even rivers.

Just a quickie run up and down a very short hill a couple of times. Hardly even worth writing about.

STOP IT, NEIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? Because you're fucking me up too. I wanted to force you out for another 4.7 - I really did. AND, if I wasn't injured, I would have grabbed you by the hand and dragged you out. That, I you had me CONVINCED that you were KAPUT. So, if you can convince me that you had nothing left, then for real, you had nothing left. You did over a marathon. You have bigger races coming up. Pull your head out of your shitty shorts and know that you kicked some ass, that you

Ok, Can i suggest, one no burrito, just simple omelet and cheese and salsa (my usual), lunch maybe no caramel and no gel? I think the runny runs come from food. So eat some carbs or some whole protein and less roughage! Might help. BTW dairy does not do my body good when i run either! Well, it never does since I am lactose intolerant :-) Glad you had gloves.

@Julia - All good suggestions and I tend to run in the morning before I eat so this was a bit odd for my body. And I usually eat more carbs before I run so the salad was certainly not a good idea.

So far I've only done planks with my feet in the TRX, but it does seem to adaptable to many different forms of torture. Good job not smashing your head or toes!

I had to do some crazy-ass planks the other week. Today was worse. More like a plank to crunch/knee tuck with your feet in the TRX. Ouch.

I like cute running/workout clothes but every single time I go to buy some cute top or new shorts/pants I don't because there's something else I could spend $XX on and lots of that stuff is so pricey! I have found a few things a year or so ago at ROSS and MARSHALS. now since i run in the garage I wear whatever the hell is clean

I finally gave in and went looking for something highly reflective since I actually like running in the dark. Found a Hi-Vis vest (with mucho reflective stripes) and not-cotton shirt at Tractor Supply - vest was $16 and the shirt was $12, which suits my cheap running clothes budget perfectly!

I really like GU Brew. Usually use it in my spin classes. As for the guys with heavy weights- have you ever noticed how few reps they do? I think a couple of guys at my gym get their abs painted on. ;-) Nice workout!
