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 [...]

This morning was crisp. I got up early to run and was determined to get 6 miles in. So I did. I would say about 99% of running is mental. So following up on the thought “I’m going to run 2 more miles than I have before” is the hardest part of running it. Yes [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Enjoyed another long(ish) run today. I know I am behind in formal training. But I feel good about where I am at today. I need to figure out how to get more consistent runs in. Difficult to do with Lance’s schedule, mom’s appointments and 3 kiddos I have to coordinate with. Anyway, I am just [...]

I am so off on my training right now. I should be getting 4-5 miles on my short runs and heading for 7 miles on my long runs but I am sooo not there. I feel a wall at 3 miles. Don’t know if it is mental or what. But at about 2 miles I [...]

I can’t imagine running without my iPhone. I did it on my Alaskan cruise two weeks ago thinking I wouldn’t need distraction since there would be beautiful scenery to distract me. I was wrong! Though I squeezed out 2 miles I am sure I would have gone farther with my iPhone. So what do I [...]

While I haven’t gotten in as much running as I wanted to. The stress of our cross country move and living with family for an extended period has made finding time for running difficult. That being said, I have found running to be my new stress relief. I found out I actually do enjoy running! [...]

I’ve been quiet for a while. We have been in the chaotic process of moving a household across the country. And now I am typing from a hotel room on our way to our new (old) home of Washington. So before we left, I downloaded some podcasts about marathon training. I found www.marathontrainingacadamy.com and their [...]
