I was going to complain that I didn’t get the miles in that I wanted to today. But it sounds kind of lame to complain that I only ran 6.2 miles instead of my planned 9 miles. A few weeks ago I couldn’t get myself past the 3 mile mark. While I am disappointed that [...]

Last weekend I ran my first official race. I’m glad I had the opportunity to run my first 10K close to home. I am also glad to have just had the opportunity to experience, albeit on a smaller scale, running a competitive race. First, I learned that I have to ditch the iPhone. I thought [...]

I am generally not a fan of running on a track. I get bored way too easily. Also, I find it hard to keep track of my laps. That being said, I wanted to run yesterday and didn’t get a minute to do it until 9pm! 9pm is not the safest time of the [...]

So I signed up for a local race today. I figured it would be a good idea to actually experience one race, albeit small time, before the big show in October. It is also a race for a good cause. This sweet young family lost their mother and unborn little girl when Lise was hit [...]

The girls started Gymnastics at the Y this week so I decided I would utilize that 50 minutes twice a week to get my runs in. BUT that means running on a treadmill for that time. Not fun. They try to make it less boring with those TVs but who can run and watch TV [...]
