Okay, so I haven't posted in a bit. You know why? Because nothing has really been going on! Paleo ended a few days after my last food post. It was a slow decline...It started with one meal gone awry, then followed by a a little cheating here and there, until I almost stopped caring for … Continue reading Running Grooves…and Bumps In The Road

Temporary Lulls Are Just That…Temporary
This post sings a bit of a different tune. It's more about the lulls in energy or drive that hit me in my daily life, be it work related, training related, or personally related. It seems more so than ever I am aware that my life really is a series of unbalanced scales. I have … Continue reading Temporary Lulls Are Just That…Temporary
Paleo Day 16…Big Eats For A Big Training Day
Started my training day off with a very light snack...a banana. It never gives me a stomachache and I never feel like hurling during a workout when I eat it. Proceeded with a strength training workout, followed by a run...I was a little bit on the tired side to start. If there was a way … Continue reading Paleo Day 16…Big Eats For A Big Training Day
Thoughts I Think While I Tackle The One-Mile Swim
On Friday I completed my very first long swim of one mile. (I think I completed something close to a mile before in an open water swim, but I don't count that too much because we took a lot of breaks and it was with a class.) It was one of the few times where … Continue reading Thoughts I Think While I Tackle The One-Mile Swim
Paleo Day 11…Workout Recovery and Minor Ethnic Cheats
Thursday...it was the day after Wednesday, the day after I had pushed myself a bit farther than usual. Every few months or so I'll get a yearning to try my hand at a solo sprint triathlon, meaning that I attempt the distances at a local gym to check out my current level of conditioning. Well, … Continue reading Paleo Day 11…Workout Recovery and Minor Ethnic Cheats
Paleo Day 10…Workout Fueling and Late Night Eats
Had a pretty awesome day in terms of energy level. Again I was reluctant to head out for my back to back to back workout with GU so I tried a little experiment and took along three bananas. I downed the first one right before swimming, the second one after my swim, and my third … Continue reading Paleo Day 10…Workout Fueling and Late Night Eats
Getting Back Into The Swim/Bike/Run Routine
So on a whim I decided to try a swim/bike/run routine this morning. At first I thought that I'd only for a nice long swim, but figured that now was a good of time as any to take an assessment of where I'm at, physically, for the triathlon in November. Let's just say I've got … Continue reading Getting Back Into The Swim/Bike/Run Routine
Paleo Day 9…Keep It Simple, Stupid
The day started off good enough with a great 3 mile run around the neighborhood. I came across a dilemma that I've been battling since going paleo...what am I going to do about my energy gels? I'm so used to using them during my training and races and, for the first time ever yesterday, I … Continue reading Paleo Day 9…Keep It Simple, Stupid
Paleo Day 6 and 7…Weekend Cheat Meal, Curries, Coconuts, and More
This weekend was full of fun and adventure! I started off with finally painting my apartment. It took forever to prep but post-friendship brunch, my bestie helped me paint my place. It was frustrating and tiresome but I am happy with the outcome. It's still drying but I will post pics of it soon! So … Continue reading Paleo Day 6 and 7…Weekend Cheat Meal, Curries, Coconuts, and More
Paleo Day 4…A Few Minor Slipups
What a busy day Thursday was! Had my internship so I had to pack a whole day worth of food. Wolfed down most of it before realizing that I didn't snap any photos. For breakfast I had the egg white scramble with veggies. Packed some bananas, oranges, dates, cranberries, raisins, and almonds. Made orange marinated … Continue reading Paleo Day 4…A Few Minor Slipups
