I suddenly realized my training plan for the Madison Mini starts next week. I guess I should finalize it. I have a general plan, mostly the long runs, scheduled out, but need the details.

I finally tried Barre Code. I've seen things about Barre for awhile. Honestly the thing that kept me away was the cost. Friends said it was a great workout and it's not that I didn't believe them it's that I already pay for the YMCA and for a personal trainer.

If you know me or read my blog it's fairly obvious that I'm injury prone. I've probably spent more time in orthopedic doctor's offices than all other types of doctors combined. I've spent who knows how much time in physical therapy. It's infuriating when I try to be smart about things and not pile on the … Continue reading Training Smarter
