Warning: This is a whining, rambling post.. ~ Remember that one time I got really excited about the upcoming 10k in June because I had a plan?

Sweaty Sunday Recap: Week of April 14

by ~jenniferlynn on April 22, 2013

in CrossFit, Running

Writing these recap posts makes me so sleepy if I wait until Sunday night to put them together! Probably would make the most sense to do them as each day goes on, but really by the time I get home from the gym most days the last thing I want to do is get in […]

NSV: Running 3 Miles

in Me, Running

Many times women (and men) choose to use the scale as a measure of progress. And for those who may have a lot of weight to lose, this may be the easiest and most logical thing to do. But the rest of us, as I talked a bit more about in a recent post, we […]

Sweaty Sunday Weekly Recap: Week of March 31

in CrossFit, Running

It’s finally April! And sadly, winter has not officially left us here in Michigan. A couple of days lately we made it to the 50s, but it always seems to go back to frosty mornings. This week’s supposed to be a bit nicer, but of course with warmer temperatures has to come rain. Can’t have […]

A goal without a plan..

by ~jenniferlynn on April 1, 2013

in Running

I think I have had an epiphany in my relationship with running. When I first started running (March, 2011), I used the Couch to 5k program and even though I had to repeat multiple days of the program, I followed the plan and knew exactly what was expected of me each day. I was able to record […]

Sweaty Sunday Weekly Recap: Week of March 24

by ~jenniferlynn on March 31, 2013

in CrossFit, Running

And it’s another Sweaty Sunday workout recap! This week I beat myself up. Physically and mentally, just drained! Since I started doing the Crossfit Open Workouts (Check out 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, and 13.4), my desire and drive to become a better athlete has seriously increased ten fold. I don’t just want to go to Crossfit. […]

Shamrock ‘n Roll 10k Recap – A Runner-in-Denial Story

by ~jenniferlynn on March 19, 2013

in Running

Running and I have a love-hate relationship. I have mentioned before that it is just one of those things that makes me feel so weak when I do it, and makes me feel that all of the hard work that I put in training for other things is useless. But in order to be a […]

The emotional side of an injury

by ~jenniferlynn on March 13, 2013

in Guest Posts, Running

When I hurt my back and whined and cried for a week about it, I took a step back to think about all of those people who have had long-term injuries, or injuries that took them away from their sports for an extended period of time. I was debilitated for less than two weeks and […]

Run Club, Detroit Corktown 5k, and my battle with running

by ~jenniferlynn on March 11, 2013

in Running

When I found out that the building I work in (Detroit Renaissance Center, aka GM Headquarters, aka tallest building in Detroit) was creating a running club, I was quite intrigued. I have always loved the idea of a running support group to help encourage and motivate me, but have always been a bit lazy in […]

Runner bug? Race bug?

by ~jenniferlynn on March 5, 2013

in Running

I have a bit of an issue that has become more of a problem since I ran the Turkey Trot 10k. I think I have a runner’s bug. Not so much a runner’s bug, but a racing bug. I will tell you all day long that I do not like running. I get frustrated, and it […]
