It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is by Nichol. I have discovered that I like running intervals. Currently I am doing them on the treadmill. I warm up at 3.5 for 5 minutes and then alternate 2 minutes at 4.0 and 1 minute at 5.5. Based on my reading, it’s not true interval running. It’s Nichol’s version [...]

299 Days Left!
It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is from Nichol. So my sub-goal this month was to shove running down my own throat. The first two days of the month that I actually went in with the intention of running, annoying people were on the treadmills. I hate sharing. It’s still my goal though. No backing down. I [...]

Last day of February
It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is by Nichol. I’m really glad this is it. February has been really rough. I wanted to be able to run a full mile by today, but the truth is, I’ve hardly run at all. I’ve walked a lot and done even more stationary biking. But I feel good. I haven’t [...]

February Continues
It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is by Nichol. I don’t really have a lot going on right now. Today is my 53rd day of mile a day. I haven’t been running. I had to back off to keep myself from getting so discouraged that I just gave up. I’ve been spending a lot of time on [...]

February has no love for Nichol
It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is by Nichol. Oy. Am I struggling this month. I’m still dedicated to my daily mile (you are reading this on day 45 – 321 to do), but I have had the hardest time getting into an actual run. I’ve changed locations, I’ve tried intervals, stretch before, stretch after… I just [...]

January – check
It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is by Nichol. HA! I did it. I didn’t cheat, I didn’t fun my runs, I freaking did 31 days of (at least) one mile goodness. I think that for the most part I have gotten into a good rhythm and have been able to read body well enough to know [...]

ONE FREAKING MONTH
It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is by Nichol. Well, I’ve been at it for a month. Some days have been really great and some days… well, let’s just say that some days have been a huge struggle. Right now I’m obsessed with the stationary bike (I usually work my arms after, so I feel even), which [...]

Almost Week 4!
It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is by Nichol. I can’t believe that as of this coming Sunday, I have been committed to running at least a mile a day for FOUR WEEKS! I know! I don’t expect to see changes in my body right away, but I swear the other day I was feeling my butt [...]

It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is by Nichol. So remember that whole daily mile challenge from I <3 to Run? Well, I have been dedicated and doing my daily run for 17 days now. Well, you are reading this on Wednesday, so it’s actually 18. So, I have been dedicated and doing my daily run for [...]

Mile a day challenge
It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is by Nichol. Well, so far so good friends. As of the writing of this blog, I have done at least one mile every day on the treadmill or the elliptical for nine days (it’s the ninth of January). It has not been easy. And, as per my usual self, I [...]
