Ironman Florida: The Spectator Report

November 11, 2009

Isn’t goal setting is supposed to motivate you to reach your goals? Usually right after setting goals, people try really hard and have some success at first. It’s only after some time has passed that they get lazy and fall off the wagon. Well, I had one day on the wagon and then I was [...]

Countdown to the End of the Year

November 4, 2009

A few weeks ago I wrote about some off season goals that I had for myself. They were: strength training, flexibility and nutrition. There are 8 weeks left in 2009. It’s time to put some numbers and details to my goals and see what I can get accomplished before December 31st.
Strength TrainingI’m already lifting 2 [...]

Racing the Rain

October 29, 2009

Thursday has been my long run day for a couple of years now. Having kids with busy weekend schedules and a working husband that already has dibs on Saturday long runs, I need to get my long run out of the way during the week so I can play car pool driver and sport spectator [...]

Talking About Running

October 21, 2009

Everyone knows that I like to talk about running. I can’t help it. To be honest, my life is thankfully uneventful most of the time, so that leaves my hobby as pretty much the only thing to talk about that doesn’t involve cleaning or kids. So, what am I talking about when I talk about [...]

Back to Basics

October 18, 2009

After my last post, everyone had a lot of great race suggestions. Thank you! They all sound like so much fun, it’s hard to pick which ones to run. I have to admit that I’m kind of enjoying this pause in my schedule. Ever since I signed up for my first marathon, I’ve had at [...]

October?

October 10, 2009

What a crazy week this has been. I had mentioned that after the race I didn’t feel well. It turns out that the kids and I had H1N1. We had all of the symptoms including a very high fever, but we all made it through okay. The kids missed some school but didn’t have any [...]

TC 10 Mile Race Report

October 5, 2009

Shhh… Don’t tell anyone about the TC 10 Mile Race. Since entries for the race are sold in a lottery system, the more people that know about it and try to get in, the harder it will be for me to get in next year. I think I’m screwed.

The TC 10 Mile is my new [...]

Almost Done

October 1, 2009

I’m getting excited for the TC 10 Mile this Sunday. Usually I don’t announce my goal time for a race, but this time I’m going to out on a limb. I’m hoping to finish in 1:45, which would be an average pace of 10:30. With my hamstring issues, I haven’t been able to train as [...]

New Wheels

September 27, 2009

I have a problem: I want to do too many things. I consider myself primarily a runner. It took me many years of running to consider myself a “runner” and not just someone who runs. Now that I am a runner, I make sure that I run at least three days a week. Somehow I [...]

We Interrupt This Program…

September 23, 2009

… to state the obvious: Please wear your helmet. Please make your kids wear a helmet. Yes, I know all of you do this already. You are perfect and do what you are supposed to do. You are good parents and your kids love wearing their super cool helmets.
My 14 year old son went over [...]
