Running the race set before me...
This morning did not start off well. I usually get up early enough to get something in me and hope something {ahem} comes out of me before heading out. I woke up feeling like I had a brick in my belly and a squat on the pot helped, but not a lot. Yeah, let’s not hold back on details, because we all know these things can be the make it or break it moments on race mornings. Anywho, that threw {Read More}
Wow, and wow. I am mind blown by the support and responses to my last post. I am hardly the crying type, and yet every time I’ve started to re-read what I wrote (I haven’t even been able to do that all the way through) or ventured to start responding, I was moved to tears. I’ll be responding to all your comments and adding a post script of sorts, as it set the stage for an interesting conversation in my {Read More}
Picking up where I left off and shockingly coming to the conclusion that apparently I can’t do a recap in just one post, we got up at 3am and managed to get ourselves ready. It was crazy cold for my SoCal liking, so I opted for the cheese ball hotel shot instead of trying to find a spot near the start line. It was just a short walk to the start line with hardly anyone in line for the porta {Read More}
Is it actually possible to recap a Disney race in just one post? Keep reading, let’s find out. In spite of being super excited and packed by Tuesday last week, I found myself unpacking, assessing, and repacking Friday night {basically all the same items. I’m a dork, I know.} There’s also nothing like finding out your in-laws are coming down for a visit when you’re getting ready to head out of dodge. Fast and furious cleanup (read: hide the crap {Read More}
What up everyone! Things are literally warming up all around – my “icy” warning does not come on in my car anymore first thing in the morning (good thing, you know how craazy these SoCal roads can get in the winter – HA!), and my bags are pretty much packed for this: While I’m away, I imagine the fam bam will be spending their weekend scrubbing down the house to make it shine by the time I get home playing video {Read More}
They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit. With plenty of challenges to keep me on task, I’m moving forward, but not beating myself up when I don’t hit 100% and can’t check everything off my list. As part of my #13in2013 goal, I am hoping to get in a solid 20-25 miles each week. However, after last weekend’s Resolution Run, I had a couple of toe nails that felt a little funny. I’ll spare you the {Read More}
On top of my plan for my runs this year, I know I can’t spend all my running time on training mode or I may go crazy. Some people must know crazy is right up my alley, though. This is happening next month! Since it’s an all girl run, I actually wanted to run this with my daughter last fall, but the timing and location didn’t pan out, so I’m excited that they contacted me to be an ambassador for {Read More}
Resolution Run, done. It was supposed to be a rainy run, so I layered up and headed out. It was more of a drizzle than rain, but I’m a sissy and so I sat in my car until fifteen minutes before race time it was chilly. I enjoy these smaller races (just over 1,200 runners, with less than half running the 15k with me). The race started at 7am (it started a good 7 minutes late, but not a surprise for {Read More}
I’m pretty excited that my last two “injuries” have healed up super quick. My doc told me I strained my calf after my half marathon, likely because I banged it up pretty well at the Gladiator Run. After the ROC Race, I was told I had tendinitis in my shoulder. Both were supposed to take a good four to six weeks to heal, but my leg was better after a couple of days, and my shoulder is 80% better after {Read More}
Remember these from back in the day? A little old school SNL anyone? Let’s do this Ok, not really any deep thoughts going on here. We are, however, really heading to Disneyland!!I don’t like the idea of being off track from the daily schedule, so I’ve got a game plan (sorta). Runs all week have been consistent, and I’ve planned my long run for Monday since it’s a holiday and we’ll be back by then. We’re staying at a hotel {Read More}
