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 […]
She Rocks the Trails 25K–Race Report!
I’ve been running for several years now, and I think I’ve pretty much got the hang of it. I’ve run quite a few races and had such a great racing season in 2011 that I PR’d pretty much everything I ran. I guess you could say I was getting a little confident in my abilities, […]

Heat Training
In preparation for next month’s triathlon, which is sure to be even hotter than last week’s, I decided that I really need to get acclimated to the heat during training. Okay, to be honest, my work schedule made the final decision for me, since I work the 5 am – 10 am shift most days […]
