Should I be "that guy"?

running / 2 Comments

To update you on last night, I did indeed give up after 2.5 miles. And this morning I did only 1 mile in the morning (but that was in addition to 20 minutes of free weights). I blame school. My degree is in Industrial and Labor Relations, and I took quite a few classes on bargaining and negotiations, several of which involved mock bargaining situations. When I was on the management side, I busted the union and got all the workers to take massive pay cuts. When I was on the union side, I increased union strength and even got …

Embodying the true spirit of "absolut(ly) fit"

running / 7 Comments

I am drunk and walking on the treadmill as I type this. I tried picking it up to a fast run so I would get done sooner (7:04 pace) and only lasted about 3.5 minutes. I love wine but it is not good for the treadmill. Especially since the whole time I am thinking about ordering cheeesecake from room service. Bad bad bad. I already had dessert tonight, but it was small and I shared. Still, I also had a glass of dessert wine (sauternes – mmmm) so that is extra calories to burn off. Also, Topher – my lunch …

Convincing myself to love the treadmill

running, travel / 9 Comments

Tonight I am going to run 5 miles on the treadmill. I will I will I will. I swear it. I have only run one mile this month (last night) and it was pathetic. My goal is 90 miles this month, and last month I didn’t make my goal, and this month I won’t either unless I can do this. It will be fun and it will be awesome and I need to just do it. Go go go go go! Okay, sorry for subjecting you to my mental psych-up. If you actually want to read something good on the …

My Biggest Loser Workout

goal setting, health and fitness, running, travel / 6 Comments

Tonight I worked out while watching The Biggest Loser, so you’ll get a combination of show review and personal workout routine. When I first heard Vegas, my initial reaction (even before they showed Bob’s reaction), was… what kind of reward is that? If you’re trying to lose weight, Vegas is NOT where you want to go. I would have rather seen a reward of “you can go to Vegas OR you can make the other team go.” It would have been much more interesting. The Blue Team working out together was really cute, especially when they were all on the …

Running inspiration: Tasti D and blogger playlists

goal setting, running / 9 Comments

Yesterday I went for a quick Tasti D run. I hadn’t done one in so long, and Boston doesn’t even have Tasti D! I know, unbelievable. To any of my Boston readers: what kind of all-natural low-cal frozen yogurt is in Boston and where can I get it? I checked for Wow Cow and it seems to be in Needham, which sounds far. I’m living/working/working out in Boston proper, so if you know any places, let me know! Robeks is awesome but not quite the same as creamy froyo goodness. I had planned to do a really long run (17 …
