Well, the race is officially two weeks away. This past weekend was my 11 miler long run, the beginning of the taper before the race. I ran with Shelly and her friend Eric on Saturday morning. We started off early again, when it was still dark, and thankfully, chilly! Autumn is definitely in the air [...]

So that means that I’m back to blogging like a real blogger and will be updating more frequently. Fun! We are using the Pain-Free Beginner Half Marathon Training Program to [...]

As readers, you might get bored of how ecstatic I am after running. It’s not always that way, but recently, I have been truly euphoric after each running workout. Why? Because I love to move my body, to be in control of how my feet touch the ground, where my eyes lead me, how my [...]

Certainly, there are days that are easier than others. Today, I had planned to run 10 miles, but it appears from the map that I cut it a little short. About 9.69 miles in 1:45. Not great, but a little better than last week, I think. This route is all uphill and then all downhill. [...]

Imagine that! I went running again in the rain today, again. Seriously, for almost a month, we’ve been having these crazy days of rain. I think the longest it’s gone without raining here lately has been maybe three days. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining, but literally every time I plan to run, [...]

I feel like everytime I write a new post, it’s about running in the rain. So, guess what? I did my LSD run in the rain today… I ran this route, about 7.5 miles. Wasn’t sure when I left to go running this morning how I was going to do. Surprised myself with it, and [...]

well, i can positively say that mapping/determining my running route the night before a run is a very good idea, especially when it’s 35 degrees F in the morning and the last thing anyone would want to do is go out and run… today i did two loops out at Bent Creek. it was just [...]

If any of you has a horse, and you’d like to save some money this year, I would be happy to come hang out in Mr. Ed’s stall so he can lick the salt off me after I run a long time: it would save you buying a salt block and it would save me [...]

Today was my first 10 run. Not ten miles (though close), but 10 on the infamous scale. Really, it was incredible. I think the mapmyrun.com version isn’t quite as much distance as I ran, but it might be my happiness/ego getting in the way. I was supposed to do 1:45 hrs, but only did 1:33 [...]
