It is Tuesday, right? I’m having one of those months where it’s really hard to tell. Seriously. You. Guys. When Little Boy was really little, he was pretty much the happiest kid on Earth. You would honestly not know that now, since he is riddled with teen angst so much of the time and has […]
Lake Natoma 50K – The Race Report that Includes a Few Crackpot Medical Theories as a Bonus
After Saturday’s fabulous 7K, I came home and went into power recovery mode. I got a good breakfast and plunked my butt (actually, it was more about my calves, but whatever) on the foam roller. I drank water like it was my job. I did some easy stretching and I took my son shopping. Oh, […]
The Lucky Run 7K 2015 – Race Report
I was excited about The Lucky Run from the minute I read about it on the Tour de Fit website. It pretty much has everything I’m looking for in a race – fun theme, not too difficult course, and the ultimate prize: an automatic PR for a new distance. Boom! There was the small wrinkle […]
My Wild Weekend of Racing
You know how some weekends are mellow and lazy and you lay around in your pajamas and read magazines? Yeah, this was so totally not that weekend! We were jam-packed, wall-to-wall racing the last three days and it was pretty awesome! The Kiddos Friday afternoon/evening took us down to Turlock for the Pitman Distance Wars […]
Weekend Update and February Wrap-Up
Good morning and Happy Monday! I have to admit it, I’m one of those annoyingly cheerful people who look forward to Mondays. While I certainly enjoy being lazy and sitting on the couch all afternoon on Sundays, I also really crave the routine of weekdays. I like getting up at a certain time and having […]
Runfessions!
The alternate title here should be, How the Hell is it the End of February Already? I swear I was just runfessing for January the other day. Feel free to join my girl Marcia with your runfessions on the last Friday of the month – it’s good for your soles! The alternate alternate title for […]
M.O.M. Time
A few weeks ago, I came up with the phrase M.O.M. time – okay, obviously, I’m not the first person in the world to say I’m taking some “Mom Time.” Duh. But M.O.M. in this case means My Own Miles, and I was referring very specifically to running alone. Back before I became a running […]
Call Me Oedipus
And not because I’ve got Daddy issues. Here’s what I remember about my 9th grade English class: My teacher’s name was Ms. Bradley, with a heavy emphasis on the Mizzzzzzzzzzzz. It was 1984 and feminism was still something of an oddity, especially among 14-year olds. She was one of the toughest teachers I’d ever had, […]
Four Non-Thematic Things on Friday
I wanted to have a really awesome post today, with a theme or at least a central idea. Possibly some coherent thoughts. Maybe I could even pull myself together enough to link up somewhere. But no. My brain is like scrambled eggs today, so you’re getting some bullets with a little bit of verbal (written?) […]
Davis Stampede Half Marathon 2015 – Race Report!
Good morning and happy Monday! This race report is being brought to you from Cloud Nine, where I expect to reside for at least a couple more days. You! Guys! This was one of the best races I’ve ever run and I just can’t stop being happy about it! As you well know, I went […]
