many the miles.

January 31, 2012 by Hillary 9 Comments

Late night at the gym after a long day at school. Is it really only Running Tuesday!?

I wasn’t all that pumped about working out before I started, but once I got moving, that all changed.

My Running Tuesday, 1/31/12:
  • Lean Arms Routine – 1 set
  • 1/2 mi. warm-up – indoor track
  • HIIT treadmill run

This was awesome! I made it up on the spot; it kept me completely distracted from the reality of $135 parking tickets, research projects and GI trouble for a full 28 minutes… and it left me a sweaty mess!!

  • 1/2 mi. sprints – indoor track
  • mini kettlebell mix @ 18lb. – lunges, squats, abs.

Well, that’s a wrap for January!

Total Mileage: 148 miles

Running: ~128 // Cycling: ~14 // Walking (‘mill only): ~5

I’ve been training like a fool lately and am excited about racing this Sunday; however, I’m not gonna lie… I’m ready to turn it down a notch.

Tomorrow’s a NEW month – hooray!!

    I agree with your tweet there! All of the running I am doing makes me super hungry. Especially in the mornings. When I wake up, I’m like, I NEED breakfast!

    I agree with the never ending hunger and am ready to cut back my training as well…in just about 2 weeks!

    Loved this HIIT treadmill run! I saw it before I left for the gym and decided to give it a try. I will definitely be doing it again! Thanks :-)

    That’s a great mileage for January lady! Good job :)

    I hate parking tickets, I usually get about 4 a semester. The ‘perks’ of living in a bigger city.

    Just did the HIIT workout — it was awesome, thanks!! Those 30 second recoveries seemed so short ha! I am a sweaty mess and SO excited to make some breakfast.

    Awesome workout! You’re so speedy. I love doing intervals on the treadmill, but I always get bad shin splints afterwards or some other sort of ache/pain. Any advice? Am I not easing into it slow enough?

      Hmmm… good question. Knock on wood, I’ve had very little trouble with shin splints. I tend to think that treadmills are softer than most terrain outside, and therefore, would be easier on your muscles and joints. I did some quick research for you: http://www.fitsugar.com/How-Running-Treadmills-Creates-Shin-Splints-2378062

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
