I am a bare-bones kind of girl when it comes to the equipment I require to train. I am not a fan of machines in general, much preferring barbells and dumbbells when it comes to weight-training. But I have to admit that when it comes to cardio, my preferences are a little farther up on [...]

As I have mentioned previously, I am deep into the pre-Christmas activity of baking and candy-making. Santa’s little elf, ho ho ho, and all that assorted merriment. Good for the spirit, but for the waistline… not so much. A couple of rounds with the scale and a tape measure yesterday, though, have brought back the [...]

Doug ran a half-marathon this morning (White Rock in Dallas) as an easy little training run … Meanwhile, back at the ranch (AKA my gym), I hopped on a treadmill for a bout of heart-rate training. Doug finished his 13 miles with an average pace of 8.44, and an average heart rate of 153. I [...]

I had a lot of energy today so I decided to tack my core workout and my run onto the end of my weight training session instead of going to the gym twice. It was an interesting experience because I discovered that my new slow-running workout routine is possible after a workout. In the past, [...]

… so I opted to run indoors today. As of noon, it is still only 42 degrees F (that’s 5 degrees C), pretty chilly for this neck of the woods. With the Turkey Trot out of the way, I have relaxed a little and decided to take a new approach to this running business. A [...]
