Hey guys. I am sorry I have been off track with checking in. I am at my computer so much, I hate to go on it at this point. I try to post from my phone, but it is hard for me to do for some reason. It will freeze or the spelling will be way off. I don't know. I've been keeping up with my runs...

Hey guys. Today I did my own version of a CF workout. First a warm up of 20 jumping jacks, 20 jump rope in place, 20 sec plank for 3 rounds. Then a 12 minute AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) including the following movements: 15 DB deadlifts, 12 DB front squats, 9 DB push presses, 6 burpees. I...

TGIF! I just got in my run for the day. I feel as though my pace is improving. I didn't feel like I was pushing myself and I ran an 8'54 pace. Glad to have a 3-day weekend. Tonight is pizza night and margaritas! Belinda- I consider myself more of a city girl too. However, two years ago when we...

Yesterday I did a 4.5 mile run. I have already run 22 miles in the virtual race. I have to get to 434 by Sept. 15th. I am also contemplating training for the Philly marathon for the fall. Still on the fence though. I might make today a rest day. I might do some yoga at home. Not sure. I think I...

Hey guys. Sorry I fell off the grid. I hate being on the computer at this point. By the time I get my work done, the boys' work done and then emails and what not, I don't want to even look at a keyboard or screen. I have been keeping up with my workouts and runs. I am on a streak and have worked...

Hey guys. Friday was my rest day. today I did a CF style workout. Tomorrow I am running long with my dad and brother on the bikes. It is supposed to be warmer tomorrow. What a crazy weather day here. Is it May or February? Lol. Deb- We are unsure of the last day of school. When schools were...

Today I did a 6 mile run. I took it easy and slow and it felt good. I went at around 8:30 this morning. Not too many people on the paved trail I go to at that time, which was good. I hate it when it is crowded and I have to weave around people, especially with this virus. I had a few Zoom...

Hey guys. I've been keeping up with the workouts. Yesterday was a speed run workout. Today I did a 3 mile run, then later I did a CF style workout followed by an upper body circuit. My arms are fried. Anyway. . . Yesterday we did a Zoom Cinco de Mayo party with my neighbors. It was fun. I miss...

Hey guys. 9 mile run done. I wore the wrong underwear :(. my butt is chafed. I have to jump in the shower and I am dreading it because it is going to burn. Sorry if that is TMI. The weather is beautiful. I love it. Deb- I agree it is hard to believe what is going on when it is nice out. Then...

Hey guys. Yesterday was a rest day. I was going to do a short workout, but told myself I earned a rest day. Governor Cuomo called it, schools closed for the year. We will continue with online learning. It is weird because this was my toughest year as far as the students I had and yet I was sad...

Hey guys. I am doing a quick check-in, trying to not let my hate of the computer stop me from checking in. I seriously do not know how people sit at computers all day. It is not for me. Today I did a 3 mile recovery run, then an upper body circuit I found on pinterest. My upper body and core...

4 mile run done today. It was beautiful out and I pushed my speed. Here are my splits: 9'03, 8'28, 8'52, 9'01. Very happy with my time. I needed to push myself and relieve some stress. Belinda- I wonder why the camera guy does that. Maybe the screaming is because they are pumped to be there...

Hey guys. Yesterday DH and I did a CF style workout at home together. Today I did a 4 mile run plus a quick CF workout that my coach posted. It was 100 burpees for time o_O with 5 thrusters (I used 10 # dumbbells) every minute on the minute. I got winded and took breaks, but I finished in 19:44...

Hey everyone. 60 minute run done. I took it easy and got in 6.3 miles. I needed the run. My mind is in a fog these days. Cannot wait for better days. Belinda- The workout was definitely quick but tough. Nice job on your workouts and keeping it low impact too. If the Germans forgot about SD with...

Hey guys. Had a lot of work on the computer yesterday, again. . .It is hard to walk away from it. I tell myself "You're on from 8-3 and you need to take breaks in between." I do my grading/postings in the morning. Then answer kids/parents while helping my own two boys with their school work...

Hey guys. What crazy weather we had up here today. It was hailing, thundering and lightning outside. Now it looks like the sun is trying to peep through. I have been struggling with my emotions the last few days. I feel angry, lost, sad. . . I knew my mom was going to die, so I thought I was...

So I had not worked out the last two days. I have been in a fog and drinking lots of wine. . . today my dad, brother and I did our 10 mile loop. I was slow and sluggish, but got it done. The wind made it harder, but probably the poor diet and wine had more to do with my sluggishness than the...

Hi guys. Thank you for your condolences. I am sorry I have not been on here. As you know, it has been a bad week. My mom passed Wednesday night. We got a call from the home on Monday, saying that we should go down and say our goodbyes, which we did. She did not look good at all, and I knew it...

Hey guys. Sorry I have not been checking in. I have been overwhelmed on all fronts. Online teaching, plus both my boys need help with their online learning. My mom is not doing well at all. The home called my dad to say we should go there to possibly say our goodbyes, which we did on Wednesday...

Hey guys. Did my long run today, a little over 9 miles with my dad and brother on the bike. My hamstrings are tight, so I am going to stretch them out today and tomorrow. I plan on doing some house cleaning and making a few screencast videos for my classes tomorrow. Then the rest of the day is...
