I am *such* a fluffing softy, in a few ways. I've taken eons to write this post, because I've had the guiltiest pleasure of mindless TV on Netflix in the background - Freeform's Young & Hungry. It's so cheesy, asiago's got nothing on this show. Alas, here I am getting all excited when Gabi &… Continue reading AthletiKated: a Week in Workouts
Last week, I wrote the most pitiful 'training' log ever. It was an exercise for me to realize how stupid my excuses for not working out sounded to a third party. With a full 5-day work week in one location, I knew I had no excuses (even if happy hour plans came up, twice) for… Continue reading AthletiKated: a Week in Workouts
Shout out to my parents for giving me a name that I was able to portmanteau into a relevant blog name, and subsequently turn into a verb. Athletikating. That's what I'm going to call working out from now on. Going to get athletikated. It's been 3 months since Seawheeze, and I'm starting to get an… Continue reading AthletiKated: a Week in Workouts
Eighteen short weeks later, we're oh so close to crossing the finish line. In less than 14 hours, I will have a Seawheeze finisher's medal around my neck. So, this past week. What have I been doing leading up to the big race? Traveling, running, and eating a bunch of carbs and calling it 'race… Continue reading #SeaKatyWheeze: Week 18 Recap
The end of the training cycle is near (ok really, it's here) and I am coming to the realization that I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself after this is over. Guess I'll have to find another half marathon to run! Not many of my workouts in Week 17 were convenient.… Continue reading #SeaKatyWheeze: Week 17 Recap
Seeing that I'm sitting in Vancouver, prepared to finish this race in the next 49 hours, I should probably finish off my training logs, huh? #SeaKatyWheeze - Week 16 Recap Day 106 - Sunday 7/23 Bike 13mi Fun on two wheels! All the time in Minneapolis, I had bicycle envy of anyone out on the… Continue reading #SeaKatyWheeze: Week 16 Recap
Still trying to get up to speed (pun intended) on these recaps... seeing that AUGUST is upon us. Sneeps! #SeaKatyWheeze - Week 15 Recap Day 99 - Sunday 7/16 Rest Day While it was a rest day on paper, I worked for about 14 hours on Sunday. So... that's got to count for something, right?… Continue reading #SeaKatyWheeze: Week 15 Recap
At the conclusion of Week 13, it became apparent in my inconsistent training and lackluster results that I was starting to buckle under the load of work, training and inadequate nutrition & sleep. #SeaKatyWheeze - Week 14 Recap Day 92 - Sunday 7/9 >>> INTERVENTION <<< Week 13 ended with a long run that was… Continue reading #SeaKatyWheeze: Week 14 Recap
Next time I try to train for a half marathon while I'm doing a triple whammy of 70+ hour work weeks, living out of a hotel room and sustaining myself on restaurant food and the occasional protein bar, someone please shake some sense into me. Now that the 3-week vortex has chewed me up and… Continue reading #SeaKatyWheeze: Week 13 Recap
Oh, Week 12, thou hath kicked my hind quarters in a royal fashion. Having spent time in 3 different states, this week clocked the highest mileage total we've seen in training so far. I used to think 6 or 7 miles counted as a 'long' run. How silly I once was. #SeaKatyWheeze - Week 12… Continue reading #SeaKatyWheeze: Week 12 Recap
