Fall Half Marathon Training: Week 7

By

Guys! We’re getting so close to the big day! I did my final long run this morning and then (hopefully) it’s smooth sailing to race day. I’m traveling for work next week, so I’m planning a couple of short runs/workouts while I’m away. Next weekend, I’ll probably do a medium-length run with a couple of short runs during the week and then race day is Sunday. Holy cow. It’s coming up fast, and I really can’t decide whether or not I feel ready for it. There are times that I feel pretty confident about running a good race, but then there are runs that I feel absolutely terrible on. It’s like my body does a 180 from one run to the next. Ugh. I just hope that I have a good day on race day!

The Dash Hoodie is my new favorite hoodie. I wear it ALL THE TIME, and I always receive compliments when I do! It’s super soft with a flattering fit, and I seriously want one in every color!

crossfit cardio lung smoker

This workout was a total lung (and quad) smoker, and I was so glad it wasn’t a minute longer! Also, before WOD, I did 3 X #135 front squats for Strength. Needless to say, my quads were on fire!

THURSDAY: Off

FRIDAY: CrossFit

The Thrusters kicked my butt in this workout. Usually #65 isn’t all that bad, but, whoa, they felt HORRIBLE!!!!!

SATURDAY: CrossFit

This workout was called “Cindy Meets Grace,” and, honestly, the “Cindy” part wasn’t all that bad. I ended up scaling the push-ups since I suck at them, but the pull-ups and squats were no problem. The “Grace” part though… my partner and I split the reps, so I only did 15 Clean and Jerks at 95 pounds. I can’t imagine doing 30 for time!!

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
