So. It is February 1st and I have spring fever. Something is wrong with this picture. It was 57 degrees today. At 3:20 I decided to take some comp time and leave work early. I sort of rushed home, changed into my running clothes and hit the road for over four miles. It was SO…… Continue reading Spring Fever
Ok. I really need to be going to bed – but I had this random thought, and figured I’d put it out there. As I was unpacking my groceries tonight, I got to thinking. I would LOVE to see what an elite runner’s refrigerator and pantry looks like. (Of course I’m thinking Kara Goucher [my…… Continue reading Random Thought for the Night
Ok, so no one said running was easy, or pretty. Sometimes the things you have to deal with are down right disgusting. Blisters anyone? Bleeding nipples? <– Ok, I’ve only had a couple of my guy friends experience this horrible issue, but it is one of the more disheartening aspects of this sport) Being hit…… Continue reading 2012 – Day 24: The Nitty Gritty
Winter has arrived in New England – better late than never? That would be my usual spiel… but this year I was definitely benefiting from not having a lot of snow on the ground. I have had to move a lot of my running to the treadmill in the last couple of days – I…… Continue reading Winter

So, this morning at 9:15 I had to go out to the grocery store because I was out of milk. It was 12 degrees outside. I really think it feels colder today because it has been so warm this winter. I am definitely not running outside today. Anyhow. So, we’re smack dab in the middle…… Continue reading Winter is Officially Here
I just think this is beautiful and wanted to share it with any runners out there 🙂 [Source] So simple and yet powerful. It makes me happy!
The first full week of 2012 is concluding today. I still find myself wondering what this year has in store for me, and there are just 51 weeks left. Do you ever find it amazing how time goes by so quickly?? I’m not going to dwell on it – but I am always amazed by…… Continue reading 2012 – Day Seven. Taking it on the Road…
This was the first official week of marathon training. I have covered 13 miles so far. The plan had me doing 12. Tomorrow’s run should be 8 miles, but depending on how my shin feels it might be 7 since I am one mile up for the week. 🙂
