I was so worried about yesterday morning’s long run. In fact, I worried all week that i would not be able to go the distance, which was 14 miles. That was my longest run yet, having done 13 miles three times: two half marathons, and one thirteen mile run the week before.
I believe I posted [...]

So this morning i got up at four. yes, 4 am, long before the sun rose over the mountains in the east. I had to feed the baby, becuase she doesn’t sleep much past four, and then I had a five mile run to conquer, and so I decided the best thing to do would [...]

On Saturday I ran a half marathon.
13 miles.
No race. No event. No cheering spectators. Just me and my Asics, two gel packs, some water and a few crackers to fill up my stomach.
I have to say, it was an awesome run. I added on two miles so I got to explore unchartered territory in the [...]

I’ve been doing yoga now for about ten years and have always known the benefits of it, from the way that my body feels so fluid once I’m done and even the next day to how calm I feel when I’ve completed the workout.

So I entered this morning’s run with some trepidation.

I started to [...]

So I’ve been having some toe numbing when I increase my mileage. Since I’m training for a marathon I increase regularly.
In the beginning, my toes would tingle and go numb at 60 minutes, then at ninety, then around 2 hours. When I would stop, or if I struck my foot in a different gait, I’d [...]
