Last night I went out with the Lincoln Park Run Club again. I ambled around the back with two other slower runners and let the rest of the group run ahead. Not very fast, but we were moving along. But my heart looks like it was pushing itself. Chatting and laughing while running will do… Continue reading Training Tuesday Recap

I’ve been adding in Spartan Training slowly with everything else I’ve been doing, and last month I started working on the official Spartan Elements Training Program.

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
