Tis the season for signing up for races and I made it into the Covered Bridges Half Marathon (June 5) and The Road to the Pogue (May 14).  Covered Bridges sold out quickly again and I managed to get my iPhone chugging away at 7pm on Monday night when registration opened.  Pogue is a little […]

If you have never had the pleasure of using one of these, you must experience it for yourself. To recap: race season is over and my body started feeling tired soon after. I then started experiencing pain in my lower butt, right where it meets the upper thigh. I thought: “Oh, I’ve pulled my glute, […]

Another year runs by.  My running season typically runs from March – November.  By November, my body needs a break from constant running and I get on the eliptical and once the snow flies, out snowshoeing.  I still run about 3-4x/week, depending on schedule, mostly on the treadmill at the gym because the roads are […]

Click to embiggen. So ends the 2010 race season on a fast note.  I completed the Harpoon 3.6 miler in 31:20, coming in 318th out of 843 runners.  This was was 20 seconds faster than my 2009 time of 31:42.  I submitted my guesstimate of my 5k time (as there was no 5k marker on the course) […]

This Sunday is the Harpoon Octoberfest 3.6 mile race.  It is also the weekend of the WWFR.  I will be running (virtually) with over 600 other runners from all over the world who have signed up to run races of various lengths.  I even have a race bib to wear! This weekend will also be […]

Amy participated in a 5 mile race for Melanoma yesterday. Her mom and a friend Cathy walked the 5k course while I sat in a chair, warming in the sun. Our champion is home sick today with her annual end of summer sales eve…. err, cold. 🙁

I haven’t written in a couple weeks since not much is new in my running world.  Spent the last couple weeks slowly getting back to my base, ran a lovely 8 mile around Lake Morey last Friday.  I started a training program yesterday to improve my 10k time.  I am going to run a Turkey […]

Well, it’s over for another year. I wish I could say I met my goals of not walking and not feeling sick afterwards, but alas, twas not to be. I learned today that with heat, throw any/all goals out. It was kind of a repeat from the first year I ran, minus the humidity and […]

Weather for Sunday looks hot.  I’m having flashbacks to the first year I ran the race in the 90+ degree heat and close to 100% humidity.  I don’t think it will be as humid on Sunday, just hot.  I think I’ve learned a lot since then in terms of what to do/not do with respect […]

Rainy morning and my car roof is leaking. What a way to start the day. It’s ALWAYS something. Three miles in the rain. Home for a nice, warm shower and breakfast. Ran 13 on the course on Friday afternoon. Felt ok afterwards but we’ll see on Sunday when the gauntlet is thrown down. Start the […]
