August is moving along quickly. I’ve had my head stuck in Kindergarten world for the past couple of week and I’m just now coming up for air. Between starting back to school, trying to hold off sinus infections and strep throat (THIS EARLY???) and maintaining the laundry, I’ve not had as many morning training sessions …

I received a great email today. I’ve been selected to the BibRave Pro team! I have been stalking my email ever since the applications closed, hoping to get on the team. If you are not familiar with BibRave, just check out the hashtag on social media and look for the orange. They (We!!) are all …
Oh what a difference a week of storms make!!! I got miles. I got miles on the treadmill. I got miles, y’all. It’s been a great week! Eventually, I’m going to change this series to some actual running training. I don’t see it happening until after June. I am building as much base as I …
The running mojo is slowly coming back around. It seems to do that every spring and I doubt I’m alone. Thursday: 2.03 (yes, it matters) miles. Friday: 2 miles early in the morning. It was the Friday before the Friday before Spring break so maybe that’s why I was up early bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I …
Apparently, my ebola tent didn’t work, either. Nothing for this week. I thought last week, after getting some miles, that I was on the mend, but nope. Next week, I might have some progress!
Today’s Monday Miles is about saying goodbye to the Rock’n’Blog Ambassador program for the Rock’n’Roll Marathon series. I have been a member of the team for the past 4 years and walking away (my decision) is extremely hard but changes are coming to the program and I’m not able to participate for the next year. …
Atlas picked my shoes out for me. He made a good choice. I got some running in this week, but it was slow and achy. Recovering from this flu is not fun at all. Monday: 2 miles Tuesday: 1.6 miles Thursday: 2.3 miles Saturday: 4 miles Slow and steady will get me to some great …
This will be short and sweet. No running this week. The flu last weekend knocked me down pretty hard and I spent my evenings after school on the couch, in the tub, or early to bed. This stuff is no joke.
Last week’s running review was possible an appetizer for this week. While this week wasn’t as bad, it wasn’t great. I did get in 3 different running workouts. Some were more walking than running. I just felt off and weird and I was struggling. I hope I’m not getting sick because in my past running …
I took my first steps to running using this program. Actually, my first run was early in the morning wearing khaki shorts and a t-shirt on a cold day in February, 2005. That wasn’t very smart, but I was desperate for sleep. I knew from long ago days of track and basketball that if I …
This week can be summed up quickly. Suckage. Now the pros: 1. I ran. (29 minutes) 2. I ran 2 times. (31 minutes) 3. Again. I ran. The cons: 1. Running is hard when you’re heavy. 2. Running is hard when you’re tired. 3. Running is hard.
For the first installment of Monday Miles, I’m taking a hard look at what I want to do in my running shoes for 2019. 2018 wasn’t the best year for running. I was injured and overweight for most of it and I didn’t have the most fun. I’m 14 days into 2019 and it’s already …
What a difference a week makes. Sometimes the motivation is high and things just go right. That was this week. It was a wild week at school and things are getting more stressful. Getting outside to pound some pavement (instead of pounding adult faces) was absolutely necessary to my mental health. With morning CrossFit classes …
Happy 2019!!! My plans for this weekly review is just that. Review. Running is the priority this year and I’m ready to feel like a runner again. The only way to do that is to dress like a runner, go for a run, and talk about running. I got on the treadmill 3 times this …
