Running

I started my running almost 6 years ago and haven’t looked back? I’m a slower runner, but I usually get to the finish line or back to the car. It ‘s how I control diabetes, keep my sanity, and maintain my sparkling personality. Ask anyone what happens if I skip a few days of running. My sparkling personality is the last thing they will tell you. Slightly cranky is what they will say.
Here are a few links to get you started:

You’ve trained hard. You’ve posted the Couch to 5K plan on your fridge and gleefully crossed off each training run. Each week that you added more running time than walking time is circled or highlighted. There may even be a few squiggles of writing on there with thoughts like “wow! I did …

This was a disaster. Short version-I finished on two legs. And my time was slower than my last trail half in Colorado with hefty elevation. I’m not cut out for beach races. Long version: I woke up with burning skin, dry throat, and a way too full stomach from the night before. I had a [...]

Almost done

April 5, 2012

It’s been a not-so-great week. I’m skipping out on crossfit this morning because it was all arm work and I did a lot of pull ups yesterday. I actually liked the workout for this morning, but my arms are having some delayed soreness from yesterday. On the calf issue, both calves/shins seem to …

Well this isn’t good. No Joke, either

Something’s wrong with my legs. I thought it was just tight calves from a lot of jumping last week in crossfit. Now I have this sharp pain right where the little arrows point on PF-plantar fasciitis diagrams. I can walk just fine. But 2 steps into a run and the impact feels like someone …

Why run when you can….not? 6 month Running Challenge

That’s the story of my life this week. No running. Too busy trying to get well. I’m not panicking or anything. I still have a few weeks until my first half of the spring season. Never mind that my training plan is a new one that I’ve never tested. A plan involving less running and [...]

The day that never ended

February 7, 2012

I got through the day without losing my mind or knocking anybody in the head. It’s a good day. The meeting went as best as it could, I think. We answered the questions and sounded like we knew what we were talking about. Most of the time, we did. A couple of questions …
