Weekend warrior gets some war wounds

health and fitness, running / 5 Comments

My Friday morning started off healthy and wonderful – with a 4.5 mile jog by the river. I felt a bit slow as I ran, but didn’t worry about it, since I wasn’t trying to achieve a certain pace – just trying to shake out my legs a little bit and break a sweat. However, thanks to the accountability of posting my runs to Twitter/Facebook, my buddy Adam later pointed out my pace – around an 8:45 average. I hadn’t even noticed that, and was very excited that 8:45 seems to be my new “so comfy it feels slow” pace. …

Wherever the wind may blow

goal setting, running / 3 Comments

My roommate apologetically sent me an email yesterday letting me know that the only time Ikea could deliver her new bed was at 7:30am this morning. She felt guilty about the early hour, and promised to try to be quiet. My reaction? No, make lots of noise – that will get my lazy butt out of bed and give me time to go for a nice run before I need to start my day! After all, when life gives you limes, make a mojito, right? 🙂 I ended up waking up at 6:50am (thank you, body clock, you are far …

Catching up on the week

health and fitness, travel / 2 Comments

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a week since I last posted! My new project is crazy busy and has barely afforded me adequate time to sleep and work out, let alone blog about it, but here’s the recap of what you missed: Monday, I had to be out of the house by 4:45am for my 6am flight to Dallas (and that was pushing it). I didn’t want to push my wakeup time to 3am, so I showered the night before and planned to do my Insanity workout at night. I had a solid day at the client and went …

Copenhagen Restaurant Review: Relae

travel / 3 Comments

After resting all afternoon, I was ready and eager to get going on Saturday night! A few weeks ago, when I first booked my trip to Copenhagen, I started pulling out all the stops to try to eat at Noma, recently taking the title from El Bulli as the best restaurant in the world. However, reservations there are taken 6 months in advance, and it’s next to impossible to get one inside that window. On the bike tour, we rode by and stopped to look at the harbor from right in front of it, and I couldn’t resist going in …

St. Patrick’s Day – A PSA

diet, health and fitness, travel / 6 Comments

Today is St. Patrick’s Day, and it seems that everyone’s blog posts are about the various beer-filled celebrations going on. While that kind of party aftermath post would normally be an Absolut(ly) Fit classic, unfortunately, that’s not the kind of post you’re going to get from me. Even before I caught this cold, I wasn’t really planning anything exciting tonight. I’m headed to Denmark for the weekend, so my big plan was to get a Guinness at the airport lounge and knock myself out before the flight to Copenhagen. However, with this cold, I decided that plan was a bit …
