Fall Half Marathon Training: Week 1

By

Hello and happy Sunday, friends!!

Ok, so my first week of half marathon training was kind of weird. It was great because I exercised a ton more than I usually do, but I didn’t do all that much running. *sigh* I planned to run on Thursday, but I had way too much work to do, so it just never happened. I figured I could run on Saturday morning, but then Mal wasn’t available, and Qman definitely had some energy to burn, so sitting in the jogging stroller just wasn’t an option. Long story short, I ended up at CrossFit on Saturday morning (because they have childcare). I figured a 20-minute AMRAP was better than nothing, right? Plus, it was a special 9/11 workout, so I thought it was a nice way to honor those who risked their lives on that day 15 years ago. Anyway, here’s a recap of last week’s workouts. Never forget 9/11/2001

SUNDAY: 8 miles

MONDAY: CrossFit – “The Seven”

the seven workout crossfit

This workout was horrible and easily one of the hardest I’ve ever done. I used #75 for the Thrusters, #135 for the Deadlifts, and #44 for the KB Swings. I can’t remember my time exactly, but I think it was pretty close to 40 minutes.

TUESDAY: Off

WEDNESDAY: KFIT

KFIT Bootcamp

Cardio + core day at KFIT! 🙂

THURSDAY: Off

FRIDAY: CrossFit

I liked this workout a lot. It was definitely a lung smoker. Finished in 13:49 Rx. (My T2B are getting there, but they slowed me down quite a bit. I was doing singles on the final round.)

SATURDAY: CrossFit

This was definitely a fun workout, but I just didn’t have it in me to go all out. Maybe I was dragging after the previous day’s workout? I’m also battling some sinusitis (a side effect of Entyvio), so I’m a disgusting phlegm-bot right now. Anyway, I finished 5 + 17 Rx, which included a 60-second coughing fit. Ugh. But, hey, I’ll take sinusitis over a UC flare any day!!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
