Anyone who’s played a large MMO understands the concept of Dailies. For those that don’t, they’re small quests that refresh every day, usually rewarded with local faction reputation or a small special item. Meanwhile the reward for real life fitness dailies is Gainz. Because I’m splitting my focus between three very different sports, I have… Continue reading Dailies
Between running, weightlifting, and not doing nearly as much yoga as I should, I’ve started to notice my hamstrings and hip flexors tightening up. Inspired by a few friends who took up various 30 day challenges, I decided to put together one of my own for stretching. After forcing myself to stretch every day, with threat… Continue reading Mobility Challenge: Hamstrings and Hip Flexors
I use my smartphone a lot to keep track of my fitness progress. From run trackers to workout generators, I’ve tried dozens of apps and kept the ones I’ve liked. All my suggestions are based on Android use, but these apps are also available for iOS. I think. Dont quote me on anything Apple related,… Continue reading Mobile Apps
I went back to Fit Results last night, trying to get back some kind of routine in my life. I also tried to get a run in because the class doesn’t start until 8:30. Running was hard. It was hot and I was unprepared. I was melting. I ended up walk/jogging for an hour instead… Continue reading Training Monday 06/20/16
Such a long week and I didn’t even do much! Work has been crazy, so a few things kinda fell to the side. I didn’t get a single day of strength training in either, but I’m not upset because my schedule was changed to be around for my boyfriend’s birthday on Monday. Tuesday, though. Oh… Continue reading Friday Update 06/17/16

Not many of my friends shared the same interest in fitness, and a majority that did hit a gym regularly were crossfitters. Few runners, and none close enough to set up regular runs together. I am lucky… Continue reading Run Club
TGIF! This week has been long and I’m glad its finally coming to an end. Not much to report on after the race. I went to Strength Training on Monday, went to my Run Group on Thursday. Today I’m getting a haircut. This weekend is devoted to Dylan since his birthday is on Monday, but… Continue reading Friday Updates 6/10/16

I’ve been slackalacking. Photoshoots last weekend. Photoshoots this weekend. Editing in between. Wedding stuff for Bestie. No workouts, just lots of walking and lugging gear around. Time to get back to it! And what luck, the day I pick stair running for my at work workout, the Daily Spartan Workout ends up being hill intervals.… Continue reading Friday Updates
Finally able to get back to Fit Results last night, which meant I was able to test myself on pull ups. And I did one. All that worrying about not having a place to do any, and I’ve just been getting stronger anyway. One step closer to making it through the Spartan Race alive. Other… Continue reading Pull Up Follow Up (and weightlifting)
