Wrap-up and Planning

May 7, 2010

It’s been a good week following last weekend’s half marathon. On Monday, I felt like my normal self and went to the gym as usual. A run on Tuesday confirmed that everything was in working order. Being the dorky accountant that I am, I had to look at all of my race statistics. I don’t like [...]

Lake Minnetonka Half Marathon: Race Report

May 2, 2010

Well, that pretty much sums up my race today. End of report! Oh, I’m just kidding. One of the great things about runners as a group is that we all like to talk about running, and talk, and talk. Let the blabbing begin.
The logistics for this race were a cinch. The start is 10 [...]

Gym Crazies

April 29, 2010

For a long time now, I’ve been going to the gym two times a week. The days change depending on my running, but I go around the same time of day. It’s become a nice routine and I enjoy seeing the regulars there. Some I’ve met and we say hello, and some I just see time [...]

Goofing Off

April 22, 2010

I’ve been slacking all week. Not on my work outs, oh no. It’s my workouts that are causing me to be remiss at my other duties. Piles of laundry, a dirty floor and yucky bathrooms are giving me a twinge of guilt about ignoring my home duties, but somehow I’m able to push past it and keep [...]

Nature Gone Wild

April 16, 2010

Did you know that wild animals are wild? And, apparently, they don’t necessarily care for humans. Now that spring is in full force, the animals are out and on the attack! On Monday, a friend and I were politely minding our own business while running around Medicine Lake when we ran into a ginormous swarm [...]

Kurz Memorial 10 Mile: Race Report

April 10, 2010

Mike and I ran the Kurz Memorial 10 Mile race this morning along with a couple of friends. This race is handicapped, so the idea is that everyone should finish at the exact same time if everyone runs as would be expected from their previous times. If you have a relatively “better” day than someone [...]

Fail

April 6, 2010

I gave up already.
I had bought two pairs of reading glasses from CVS and was using them faithfully. My eye finally stopped twitching for the first time in months, so I figured I was on the right track with the power.  Amy showed me all of her cute reading glasses and I was all ready to [...]

Shorts! :)

March 31, 2010

I’m back in Minneapolis and happy to be home. The warmer weather has arrived and I couldn’t be more excited about it. I’m finally running in shorts! My foot is feeling a lot better thanks to exercises, taping and rest. I only ran 67 miles in March, my lowest monthly total since January of 2009 when [...]

Little Spring, Little Break

March 26, 2010

Thanks for all of your sympathies regarding my PF. It sounds like many have had personal experience with PF and I share your pain. The doctor I’m seeing suggested that I cut back my miles for a couple weeks while I work on strengthening my foot. Thanks to Helen for her suggestion that I try [...]

Ooops!

March 15, 2010

Thanks so much to AZ for letting me know that my comment section wasn’t working properly. I missed reading all of your comments and it highlighted to me how much your words of encouragement and advice mean to me. I was worried that I had offended all of you somehow and that you had left me! I’m [...]
