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
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 […]
Monday Motivators
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!
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!
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
On the DL Without Being Injured
Being anemic is weird. I mean, I’ve spent plenty of time over the last eight years not running because of one injury or another, so you’d think I’d be totally familiar with this whole “sitting around the house” thing. But, the problem is, I totally can run. Except when I can’t. Running really isn’t the […]
The Summer of Suck (and a Belated Race Report)
So a couple of weeks ago, I ran this 5K and it was pretty awesome, but I totally didn’t blog about it. Oops! Happy to be finished! I ran it with a client of mine, pacing her to a huge PR, which was very exciting and very nearly puke-worthy (for her). She did such a […]
