My last run on Saturday was splendid! I’m afraid I’m getting too spoiled by all these great runs, but at the same time, it’s reminding me that cross training is helpful and sometimes less is more.
Anyway, this is a random sort of question I’ve been wondering about for awhile. How come most parts of [...]

I know this is a running blog, but today was historic! This is evident that individuals across the nation want CHANGE. I think this is a start.
The headline reads:

On hair and running
Posted in miscellaneous, running, tagged hair, miscellaneous on October 10, 2008 | 3 Comments »
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 [...]
Time to start the countdown

I completed my final long run on Tuesday. It was 17.3 miles. I was happy with it overall. I tried a few different things like using a
and salt intermittently. I found the GU gel not to leave me so thirsty like the Clif shot I tried on a long run a few weeks ago. I [...]
My biomechanical analysis of my feet

My last post talked about the Mizuno “Run With Us” tour, and today, I got my feet analyzed. I was super glad I got there a little early, because there were already 5 or 6 people in line and more were showing up quickly. Although the analysis only took 10 minutes or so, you still [...]
Why the Olympics draws you in

I absolutely love the Olympics. It’s once every four years and for many of the athletes, it’s an opportunity of a lifetime for them to showcase just how much hard work they have put into their sport. For some, winning the gold completely changes their lives. There have been some remarkable feats already alone. I’ve [...]
Running Skirts

Runner’s World recently featured an article on “The rise of the running skirt.”
I’ve actually been thinking about getting one for awhile, but some of the prices seem a bit much. I’ve only seen a few in the sports stores around here, but they have all been the skort type which is not the one I [...]
Quality of runs
Posted in miscellaneous, running, tagged miscellaneous, ponderings on July 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A few posts ago I asked the question of how people get in long runs. Obviously, this is an important aspect to marathon training, however, I also wonder how many runs we really have that are of real “quality.” I think, and I include myself here, that sometimes we get into a rut of number [...]
Funny story–well at least I found it that way
Posted in miscellaneous, running, tagged cars, miscellaneous, running on July 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This past Monday, I had to take my car into the shop. I planned on dropping it off and then running home. It was a little over 12 miles, so I figured I’d take on 6-8 more miles and consider it a long run. Well, a few things went wrong from the get go. I [...]
