Okay, to be fair, 99.9% of my run this morning was perfectly wonderful. There was just that brief moment when the sidewalk came rushing up to meet my face that was the sucky part. I took this photo from a few different angles and this one – despite being something of a crotch shot – […]
I Still Have Eleven More Days!
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I am really enjoying reading everybody’s year-end wrap ups, and I am totally going to write one of my own, because in spite of some difficulties, I’ve had a pretty epic year. But I can’t write it yet! I am super close to hitting a really cool mileage milestone and […]
All Better Now
Yesterday afternoon, I went to the lab and acted like a human pincushion to see where I stand with anemia and – thank you modern medicine and the internet – I already received results by the time I got up this morning. Which was 3 am. Seriously, my lab rocks! I won’t keep you in […]
Better Than Good
I thought for sure I’d be a complete wreck after Sunday’s race, but you know what? I feel good. I feel like the title of this post! With one teeny, tiny exception, that hurts more than you might expect from how small it is: For the love of Pete, would somebody PLEASE remind me to […]
Reflections of a Long Distance Runner
When I set out for my long run this morning, I was feeling a little pensive. Not sad or worried, mind you, just thoughtful. Last weekend was a “milestone” birthday for me (45!) and yesterday was the last race of my kids’ Cross Country season, so I was thinking a lot about endings and beginnings […]
Those Three Little Words
Lately, there’s been a thought floating around in my head. At first, it was sort of like a whisper – here and then gone again quickly. It would build up a little steam, then disappear for days at a time, only to come back a little stronger. I’ve been pushing it away, not wanting to […]
Clarity
As I headed out for my run yesterday morning, I started writing this blog post in my head. (Do you do that, too? I write the best posts while I’m in the shower or driving or running, and the ones that actually make it to the internet really pale in comparison, to be honest.) The […]
Everything is AWESOME!!!
Just a few more notes about last weekend’s Modesto Half Marathon: On a whim, I added a few songs to my iPod Shuffle right before the race. I really like having a new song pop up, sometimes it can bring a lot of energy to a run. Of course, sometimes it can suck, too, but […]
Jed Smith Ultra Goals
It’s not so much that my goals are ultra-sized, just that the race is. I’m heading into “Ultra Season,” starting this weekend with the first of three planned ultras in the next three months, including a 50K, a 50-miler and a 100K. *gulp* Okay, I guess my goals are pretty ultra-sized, after all.This Saturday is […]
Recovery Week
Ordinarily, I’m no great fan of recovery week. In fact, I generally spend the week bitching and moaning about how much I hate recovery, how much it sucks to cut back on mileage, why it’s lame to run an easy pace all week, wah, wah, wah-itty wah. You know, missing the entire point of the […]
