Ah, why do I do this! I sometimes hit pause on my GPS when running and then forget to turn it back on. Always happens on my long runs! Today I THINK I did 7, but I had turned it off for I think about half a mile, so I ran 6.5.
Why don’t I just [...]
Okay, I’m baaack!

so, today began my next marathon training program. I’ll try to do the san diego rock and roll on june 1, though I have some issues.
First, I have taken some time off of long distances since the marathon. I don’t know what happened, to be honest. I thought for sure I would continue those 11 [...]
Music to Run To

I know everyone has his or her own preference when it comes to music. I’m a baby of the 70s, rocker of the 80s and a lover of all music 90s, so you may have an idea of the type of tunes I enjoy downloading on my Ipod for long runs.
As I prepare [...]
Training Issues

I’m glad i started marathon training early. In the past five months I’ve had fires, a death and mom’s stroke to contend with. These long Saturday runs are of course important in order to build stamina, but close to impossible when something comes up. I started training a few weeks early and took off one [...]

Saturday morning I completed my 17.5 mile run, and when I got done I thought, only 8.5 to go to finish that race! Funny how four months ago 8.5 was my long run; now I’m happy that 8.5 is all I have left to do the 26.2!
I ran at 5:20 AM after eating half a [...]

I never get sick. My immune system is like a brick wall that can handle any hard objects tossed its way. My daughter gets sick, my husband gets sick, my best friend gets sick . . . and I get, well, nothing.
Until I began training for this marathon.
I read in my training book that those [...]

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 [...]

So I showed up at the gym on Saturday morning, excited to try out the treadmill. Imagine my dismay when the door was locked. I was two hours early. Should have read the hours.
I came home and took a quick twenty five minute run around my neighborhood and ended up with a stuffy nose. not [...]
