Why Deep Tissue Massages Will Help my Hips

March 18, 2013

IT Band Stretch against wall

You might be thinking that it is crazy that my hips are still giving me problems.  But looking back on my training, I realized that there were a few reasons why I ended up where I am today.  I had thought after the Pumpkinman Half Ironman training I could go straight into full gear of Boston Marathon training like I had for other marathons.  Since I hadn’t experienced any injuries prior to this, I was … [Continue reading]

Run, Stretch, Strengthen, Repeat

October 5, 2012

I’ve been thinking about running (is that a surprise to you?) and it’s been a little over 5 months of me being cautious about it.

In this workout, I made use of … [Continue reading]

Recovery Swim and some Girl QT!

July 17, 2012

I actually enjoyed the swimming portion of Tough Mudder and wanted to get some more swim time in so last night after work I decided to fit in a quick 20 min recovery swim. The pool was pretty packed so I actually had to wait about 10 minutes before I could get in, but it was worth the wait.
