Today was a pretty good day – everything except for my afternoon run, that is 🙂 (and I think I know why) But let’s start from the beginning. I woke up at 5:45 and got ready for work, and was out the door by 6:15 with my travel mug of coffee, my packed breakfast and…… Continue reading A Perfect Snack, and the rest of the day…
Goals are amazing things. Last week I accomplished a major goal – I ran my first 5K since my surgery. I had been given the ok to start running on March 25 and I ran 3.1 miles on April 30th in 32 minutes. I was so pleased. On Wednesday I did something silly. I registered…… Continue reading It is all about Goals
The day after a race can be so weird sometimes. I woke up this morning and I felt like I did not have a goal for the first time in a while. But I laced up my new running shoes and hit the road for a really quick, easy two mile run. I actually ran…… Continue reading Post – Race Sunday
Race day arrived bright and early this morning. My friend Chris and I had decided to meet up at my house around 6AM – quite early for a Saturday morning. But I had gotten all of my stuff gathered the night before, so I was in good shape this morning when my alarm went off…… Continue reading Race Day
Well bloggies – happy Friday. TGIF indeed. As of last night a secret I’ve been keeping pretty well is now out to most of my friends, so I figured I would share it would you readers, too. Tomorrow morning I am running my first post-surgery race. I would not say that I am looking forward…… Continue reading The Secret Is Out… sort of
Due to my work schedule, I am not that much of a morning runner. I tend to leave the house by 6:15 to get to work on the days that I drive and I leave by 6:30 on the days that I take the train. I am not a morning person, so I can’t really…… Continue reading Morning Run Routine..?
Wow, what a Saturday – weather wise!! It was in the low 60s in Providence today, a dream come true. I really love the first day where it feels like spring, and I am pretty sure that is what we had today. My alarm went off at 8:30 this morning. I had already woken up…… Continue reading A Beautiful Day…
I had a great run today in my new Brooks. 3.25 miles in 35 minutes, I was definitely going slowly and walked a couple of times, too. The exciting news is that I accomplished 3.25 miles in NEW SHOES and have no new blisters. Sometimes I have trouble with ‘spring running’. Today it was 50…… Continue reading Running, cookies and lunch
Today was the day I had scheduled my first outdoor run since my surgery. Last night as I was trying to get to sleep, I was super nervous for some reason. You would have thought I was running a race or something. I guess I might have been nervous because I simply did not know…… Continue reading Sunday Run
Happy April Fool’s Day… did anyone pull a prank on you? I fell for an April Fools Day prank, which was pretty serious. One of the running websites posted an article saying that my favorite runner, Kara Goucher was pregnant again. My friend Nichole e-mailed me this morning passing on the word… according to this…… Continue reading Moderation..?
