Oh, man, I was nervous for this race! I mean, nervous like I haven’t been in years. Though, to be fair, I haven’t raced a 5K in … almost 6 years? Yeah, since late summer of 2011, when I set an untouchable PR. I have run (definitely not raced – thanks, anemia!) a few 5Ks since […]
California International Marathon – CIM 2016 Race Report!
What’s that saying, “The 13th time is the charm”? Well, if it’s not already a saying, it is now. Because it took me twelve failed marathons (including not just one, but two DNFs) and one beautiful not-a-failure-at-all to finally grab that coveted BOSTON QUALIFIER. (Oh, yeah. Spoiler alert. I qualified for Boston yesterday! *squeeeeeeeee*) My […]
Run de Vous 100K Race Report!
In my (nearly) ten years of running and racing, I’ve learned that every time you race, and particularly, every time you step up to a new distance, you have something new to learn about running and racing. And here’s what reaching for the 100K distance taught me: Running 62 miles is really fucking hard. Not […]
Running of the Elk Half Marathon 2016 Race Report
I think I’m starting to change my mind about half marathons. For years, I didn’t like them and maintained that they’re too long to run fast and too short to do as a run-walk. But, the past six months has taught me that maybe I was looking at it all wrong. I set PRs back […]
Modesto Marathon 2016 Race Report – Best! Day! Ever!
Let me just get this out of the way in the first sentence: I missed qualifying for Boston by a mere one minute and 30 seconds, and yes, that stings. But you know what eases the pain? The fact that in two races over the last three months I have taken nearly FOURTEEN MINUTES off […]
California International Marathon 2015 – a Race Report!!! with a Lot!!! of Exclamation Points!!!
Yeah, I know, it’s been six months since I’ve trotted out this old blog, which was just about (exactly, in fact) the time I started blogging over at my new digs – Pahla B Fitness. I talk about life and fitness and health and running over there, too, so it would be super cool if […]
Running Cures Everything
I got up this morning and didn’t feel great. Nothing was wrong, mind you, just. Meh. I’ll blame it on the glass of wine I had last night, because I ordinarily wake up pretty excited to tackle the day. Yes, I can be annoyingly cheerful, deal with it. So… meh. I had a list of to-dos […]
This is Only Marginally about Running and There are LOTS of Pictures
Oh, you guys, what a week I just had! UltraIronHubs and I took the kiddos on a nearly 3,000-mile tour of the western United States, visiting seven colleges, five states, and more than a few shoe stores in just six days! And now, yes. I am going to make you look at pictures of my […]
Monday Motivators on a Tuesday (Because it Totally Feels Like a Monday)
I have a hard time with long weekends. Not the weekend part, obviously, but the getting-back-to-reality-and-it’s-already-Tuesday part. I know I’m not alone on this, so I’m sure you’ll forgive my tardiness on this Monday Motivators post. Here’s how to play along if you’re interested – set a fitness goal for your week and then blog […]
Skirt Sports 13er Winner Announcement!
You guys, I forgot how much fun it is to have a giveaway on the blog. It’s been years since I’ve hosted one, for a lot of reasons. Mostly because I wasn’t blogging very frequently and therefore had nothing to give away. So, you know… my own damn fault. But back in the day, I […]
