In today’s New York Times, there is an interesting article about the frequency of injuries, who they are, and why it happens. Health columnist, Gina Kolata, poses the questions: why do some people get injured even when they try to do everything right, while others who do the wrong things avoid injury? How do we [...]

NPR, nope, not National Public Radio. It’s initials are also for “Naked Pumpkin Run.” Yes, this really exists. It originated in Boulder, CO ten years ago, and now has other locations in Phoenix, AZ; Bloomington, IN; Littleton, CO; and Seattle, WA. Boston, Chicago, and Denver are “mysterious.”
If you can’t guess, yes, people really do run [...]
Interesting advice for Radcliffe

I came across this article from Running Times about what Paula Radcliffe would need to do to win in the 2012 Olympics. According to marathoner, Ingrid Kristiansen, who won the 1983 Houston Marathon five months after birthing her first child, “If she wants to win in London, I am afraid she cannot keep going with [...]
Back to reality

I got back from the dog conference this Sunday. There were a lot of positives to the conference, including learning a lot of information, meeting and socializing with old and new friends, and getting to hear some great speakers.
Now, for the negative. I did zero exercising while there. I found I had no time [...]
See you in a week

I took an easy 7.5 miles run this evening. My left hamstring is beginning to feel a little better, but my right knee is acting funny. :sigh: This will probably be my last outdoor run until next week. I’m leaving for a conference tomorrow, and apparently, several people have told me it is not wise [...]
Back running sort of…

Yesterday was going to be my first day of running after the marathon. Besides being a little sore (not much really), my three days after the marathon were filled with visiting family, friends, and shopping. When I got back, I was itching to go for a run, especially with my new shoes.
This time, I’m [...]
On hair and running

I don’t consider myself a “feminine” type person, at least in a classical sense. You won’t catch me in a dress or skirt unless I have to be. Most days, it’s jeans, a V-neck shirt, sweater or zip-up hoodie, and tennis shoes. At work (which is with dogs), it’s scrub pants (they are the best [...]
Wineglass Race Report

Sorry it has taken me a few days to write a race report. I just got back today and wanted to download a few photos.
My parents and I drove up to NY on Sat. Apparently, my father misjudged the distance and thought we could get there in 6 hours. Umm, it was more like [...]
Wineglass…in a few days
Posted in races, running, tagged marathon on October 3, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Well, it’s two days until the Wineglass Marathon. I’m excited but nervous. My run on Wed. evening went well, so I decided to end on a good note. The biggest thing for this marathon is really about the mind. It’s about being able to keep yourself going even when you feel tired. I’m hoping with [...]
