This week is about pulling it back together. 1. We’ve got a few days of spring weather ahead, and I cleaned my bike to prep for riding outside! There are few things more exciting than lighter and warmer weather. Plus, cleaning and lubing by myself is a huge victory. If I admitted this to any … Continue reading
I survived my first Bikram class today. 90 minutes of dripping ALL OVER EVERYWHERE. I have a week between the expiration of my Yoga District pass and my first day of boot camp, so I figured now would be a great opportunity to check out sweat-filled yoga. Bikram Dupont offers a $20 week-long unlimited class … Continue reading
When I started doing tris last summer, I gave up my gym membership. I loved working out at Washington Sports Club (shout out to Victor, who whipped my ass into shape during boot camp/abs twice a week), but when I was doing swim/bike/run nearly every morning and afternoon, I could no longer justify the monthly … Continue reading

In the past few days of higher mileage/more intensity, I’ve been reminded how my body responds to endurance training. As though I could have forgotten. I’m hungry all the time. I go back and forth between jumping out of bed to run and hitting snooze five times. Seriously. Right after my long run yesterday, I … Continue reading
I was planning to go for a run this morning, but when my alarm went off and it was sleeting outside, I figured I had a good excuse to hit snooze. Instead, I did a 25-minute yoga session from YogaDownload. The site has free 20-minute classes, and you can purchase weekly, monthly or annual memberships … Continue reading
I slept for 14 hours last night. Which means I rolled out of bed at 1pm. It. Was. Awesome. When I finally rallied, I was torn between the urge to go out for a long run and the problem(s) of 30 degree weather and a lingering cough. I decided to be smart (thanks Rachel) and … Continue reading
