Back on the Wagon

health and fitness, running / 11 Comments

Sorry for the six day disappearance – it would seem that I never get around to posting on my good days. Okay, not that this weekend constituted “good days.” I mean, they were fantastic days from a fun perspective, and from a Mexican perspective as well… but not so much from a diet standpoint. Saturday afternoon, I went to Mexican brunch with my book club, then went for Mexican dinner with my college girlfriends, then went to a dive bar and played Jenga all night long, reveling in the fact that I didn’t have to get up for a marathon …

The Post-Workout Race

health and fitness / 9 Comments

I’ve actually been getting a bit better about working out since totally blowing it off this weekend. On Monday, I got up at 6:30 and did 30 minutes on the Gazelle trainer before work. But… as I was leaving the gym, I saw a sign that there was a new Zumba class on Monday nights. Sold! The only trick was, it was an hour long class (7:30pm-8:30pm) and I had plans to meet a friend for drinks at 9pm. I decided to go for it. I dashed home from work for the class, and got home with twenty minutes to …

A sign that I should get to the gym more often

health and fitness, running / 19 Comments

This morning, I planned to go for a 4-5 mile run to see how my knee was doing and decide if I was able to run the National Marathon this weekend. However, I overslept and ended up with only enough time to do a quick 10 minute workout. Though it was a beautiful day, I decided that I wasn’t going to run outside for just one mile. Instead, I’d (finally) take advantage of my gym membership and hit the treadmill. It had been weeks (months even maybe?) since I had last gone, and it was time to start getting my …

goal setting, health and fitness / 4 Comments

A women’s discussion group I’m in is currently addressing goals for 2009… can you believe there are only 2.5 months left in the year? Time sure flies! However, 2.5 months is still enough time to make some progress on goals I haven’t yet finished. Without further adieu, let’s dive into my 2009 New Year’s fitness resolutions. Run faster, run farther, run better.I will run 1,000 miles this year (I will also log all miles ran so I know if I’m on track for this).I will complete 25 marathons this year.I will finish a marathon in under 4 hours.I will get …

Pole Dance Class? (Yes, For Real)

health and fitness / 4 Comments

Recently, I joined a meetup group that wasn’t my typical book club, pub club, or wine tasting group. The title of this one is “Crunch Gym Pole Dancing,” and it was started by a woman named Sandy who was looking for girlfriends to accompany her to the pole dancing classes at Crunch gyms. For those of you who aren’t New Yorkers are aren’t quite used to our unabashed ways, yes, our gyms offer classes like pole dancing and cardio striptease 🙂 I had tried a “strip bar” class at Crunch once before and not really liked it too much. Described …
