Looky there, it’s Monday again already! And that means it’s time for Monday Motivators – the weekly check-in (and link-up with Laura, who would rather be on the couch) on our fitness goals. Check out the link up and feel free to join in! Foam Roller goal? Met! You may recall that last week’s goals […]
Monday Motivators (on a Tuesday)
My girl Laura over at I’d rather sit on the couch (BTW, the lack of title case is directly from her blog. You may or may not be surprised how much it’s bugging me to leave it that way.) has a new link-up that I’m joining this week – Monday Motivators! I, obviously, was not […]
Managing My Expectations
I had a really nice four mile run this morning and I’m going to tell you more about it in a minute, but first let me start with the dog: There I was, running along, listening to my music way too loud, when I saw a woman with a medium-sized poodle-looking dog on a leash […]
January Review and February Plans
I remember when my kids were very young, my mother-in-law told me that the years when your children are small seems like the longest time in your life, but once they hit school age that it all goes by in a blur. I can attest that life seems mighty blurry these days. Sort of like […]
Is it too late to add a resolution?
Actually, it doesn’t matter what your answer is to that question, because it’s been done. Added! And not a moment too soon. You know how everybody says, “You’re only as old as you feel”? Well, I’ve been feeling about a million years old lately. I’m stiff, I’m sore, and my bones feel creaky. And yet, […]
Making, Revising and Revisiting Goals. Because, You Know, 2015.
I really do enjoy the start of a new year. It feels so fresh and full of possibilities – like anything could happen this year, if I’m willing to work for it. I do not have any silly notions of flinging myself willy-nilly into the future with abandon. I’m too skeptical for that kind of […]
CIM Goals
You might think that since I haven’t really been training for the California International Marathon, that I might not have any goals for the day, but you, my friend, would be wrong. I always have goals, even if they’re as simple as “Don’t suck too much.” Which, by the way, is exactly what I’m hoping […]
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 […]
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 […]
Embracing the Suck
It’s been a month since the AR50 and I think I am finally, just now, almost fully recovered. It’s been a terrific month, full of very easy-paced (though I would argue, not easy) running and some lovely trail time with UltraIronHubs. Just this week, on one of my runs, my legs felt wonderful and fresh […]
