Monday Motivators

May 18, 2015 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

OMG, I am actually writing a Monday Motivator post on Monday morning!  It’s like a fitness miracle!  (In fact, I’m even posting before Laura this week, so the link is to last week’s MM.) And also a really good indicator of something I am going to tell you today:  I feel better!  I know it’s […]

What’s Up Wednesday

May 13, 2015 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

My mother always told me that if you don’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything at all.  So that’s why it’s been sort of quiet around here lately.  It’s hard to write a running blog when you’re barely running!  I’ve been in a little funk.  Nothing serious, I promise.  Just getting used […]

REAL Women Move

May 4, 2015 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Do you remember the day you became a runner?  I do, like it was yesterday.  I can still smell the early morning air and feel the sticky cotton T-shirt clinging to my sweaty back as I hurtled myself to the stop sign at the end of my street, signaling that I had run AN ENTIRE MILE […]

Capital City Classic 2015 – 5K Race Report

April 28, 2015 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Way back when I first put this race on my calendar, it was going to be a 10-miler, an automatic PR for a new distance, and another medal for my rack o’ bling.  Alas, things did not work out that way, but this story still has a happy ending, I promise! As I’ve mentioned once […]

Monday Motivators

April 27, 2015 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Good morning and Happy Monday!  It’s that time once again where we check in with Laura from I’d rather sit on the couch about our weekly goals! It’s actually been two weeks since the last time I posted a Monday Motivator, and that’s because I received some annoying medical news in the days following my last […]

Runfessions!

April 24, 2015 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

  Happy Last Friday of the Month!  You know what that means – it’s time to link up with my best girl Marcia and cleanse your soles.  Let the runfessing begin… The biggie:  I’m not running right now.  At all.  I’m like a miser with the few measly milligrams of iron I have left in my […]

Well, That Wasn’t the News I was Hoping For!

April 16, 2015 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Though, to be honest, I don’t think there was any news that I was actually hoping for.  No news is good news, right??  When I emailed my doctor the other day about not feeling 100%, she suggested that I do some more blood work to get a big picture view of what’s going on.  In […]
