There was an incredible turnout this morning! We were all doing 4 x the upper loop which […]

The break went by fairly quickly! I continued doing my regular core routine while I was off but that was about it. Singing has been going much better this past week. I just went back to basics and have been taking my time warming up in the mornings. I think part of the problem was […]

Paul and I met yesterday at Ottavio’s to talk about the specifics of the summer training and racing. I haven’t run since last Sunday’s race and we decided I would continue my training break until Wednesday so I get a good rest before we put in another whack of training. I’ve been […]

I did 30 minutes on the trainer this morning and after work I ran for 20 minutes with 3 x strides and did a good session of core work.
