Update: My YouTube Channel and a 14-Mile Half Marathon!

August 1, 2013 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

In my real life – you know, those silly hours I spend doing something other than training.  Whatever. – I work in my own business as a personal trainer.  It’s pretty much the most awesome job in the world.  Mostly I go to people’s houses and kick their asses for an hour.  Seriously, can you […]

Ketchup

June 20, 2012 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Don’t worry, I’m not actually going to talk about ketchup, or catsup (like my dad says).  I just figured that since I fell off the blogging planet for the last nine months that maybe I should say a little something about where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing.  Not having a baby, thank goodness, […]

Evolution of a Training Plan, Part One

August 22, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Let’s be clear about this from the very first sentence:  I am not an expert or a coach.  I make my own training plans because I have (sort of) figured out what I like and what works for me, but most of what I do doesn’t really fall into the category of conventional running wisdom.  […]

Am I Average?

August 19, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Well, of course I am, it’s right there in the title of my blog!  Many of you probably saw Darlene’s post earlier this week – I was so intrigued by it, I decided to steal it.  Ha, ha!  Actually, I hope you will, too, I’d love to see your responses. I did not include the […]

Okay, About All Those Jobs…

July 27, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Before I get back to the real questions and answers, I have some answers from questions asked on my Question and Answers post!  Ha, ha – this sort of thing could backlog me forever! Here are all of the jobs I’ve held (or at least the ones I can remember) over the years in more […]

You Asked, I Answered! Part One

July 21, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Alrighty, the day you’ve been waiting for is finally here!  Woo hoo!  You guys asked me some fun and interesting questions, though I have to say most of them were softballs.  I guess I’ll just have to reveal the nitty-gritty stuff on my own.  Ha, ha! Tortuga_Runner asked: Have you read Chris K’s responses?  H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!  […]

Long, Lazy Weekend

July 4, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Ahhhhhh, there’s nothing in the world like a relaxing “3-out-of-4”-day weekend!  (I had Friday off, but worked Saturday, then had yesterday and today off – not a 4-day weekend, not even really a 3-day weekend, but at least I got 3 out of 4.)  IronHubs’ work schedule was similarly jacked, so we didn’t go away […]

How is it Thursday Again Already???

May 5, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Do you ever have one of those days where you feel invincible, like you could just go forever?  Me, neither, but I totally had one today.  There’s no real reason for me to be feeling so lively today.  Heaven knows I didn’t fuel for a spectacular workout with last night’s dinner of half of a […]

Food and Other Random Stuff – Tag, I’m it!

November 2, 2010 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete
