Mesocycle 2: Week 2: Remembering The Greats, Drugs, Hunts and Good Eats

Coach SYLeave a comment

Alright, alright, alright (in my best Kevin Hart voice)…this week was GREAT and will be one to remember.  I really really feel like I’m back on my A-game!!! #winning.

Monday was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and most folks had the day off from work.  Our group leader put a filler out on the page to see if any one would be interested in starting at a later time versus starting at 5:00 am.  The ladies all responded with an overwhelming 7:00 am.  Whoo hoo…I could sleep in.  Now after all this time (last three weeks trying to get back on schedule) here I am excited to sleep in SMH.  But as you know things never go as planned…

Mesocycle 2: Week 1: Big Adjustments

Coach SY1 Comment

Whoo hoo!!!! I think I’m back on track with getting up at 4 in the morning.  Now I just need to figure out how to get up and get moving to hit the pavement at 5 in the morning 🙂 .  Well, Monday started out very promising.  I was looking forward to meeting my BGR! Columbia sole sistahs at the Summit Library at 5 am.  Alarm went off, I woke up…checked the group page on Facebook and the group run was CANCELED due to rain.  Time to initiate plan B…..

Week 4 Pains, Gains, Detox and Chocolate Bites!!!

Coach SY6 Comments

This was a rough week for training but I pulled it off with a few sistahs of BGR! Columbia. I tell you what though…I’m so glad the holiday break is over (said no one ever…right) because getting back on track with my early morning runs was a priority for this week.  Well, I woke up Monday morning around 430 am (actually the alarm woke me up) and needless to say I just wanted to go back to sleep.  So what did I do?

Week 3: Running, Old/New Friends and What Now!?!

Coach SY4 Comments

As I’m sure you are aware….my running week restarts every Monday. Some days I have to fight with my inner self to get up and just go, but other days not so much. The first week of Christmas break was awesome…I stayed in North Augusta, SC and was able to link up with my sole sistahs of BGR! Augusta (click here for a recap of last week).   Here it was the last week of break, and I was struggling to get up to go out for an early morning run (looking forward to going back to work and getting life back on track (did I just say that LOL)).  It’s never hard for me to get up to run with someone else but week 3 was a challenge for me.  I was back home and the weather sucked the first couple of days during the week and as you are quite aware…nothing ever goes as planned….

Week 2: Not Enough Days In This Week

Coach SY7 Comments

Running this week was almost non-existent.  Okay, it’s not what you’re thinking.  I haven’t lost my mojo (again/yet).  Very much still dedicated to the sport (YEAH running is a sport).  It just wasn’t enough days in this week… especially with me traveling and the rain (OK, yes I run in the rain but this was a downpour).

Well if you read last week’s post, you probably figured I was traveling back home on Monday from an AWESOME weekend in Maryland.  Needless to say I didn’t get a run in on that day.  Figured I would just do it on Friday since all I had to do was ride the bike.  But things never go as planned (story of my life)….
