Home Stretch 10 Miler Race
Posted: September 28, 2008 in Blogroll, Long Run, Personal Record, Race, Race Report, RunningComment: This was my first solo race where I needed to look up directions on how to get there. I found the place without any problems though. (Getting lost is one of my biggest fears) We could have not asked for better running weather. It was a little cool and no sun. The 20 miler [...]
Comments: Yeah, I know a 10:08 pace is not really speedy, considering there are people that run twice as fast as I do…but hey…for ME it’s speedy. We stayed home today to put a deck onto the house. My main priority was to get my 5 miler in though, and I did. It went well. [...]
Comments: Another good run. I stubbed my middle toe yesterday on a French door at home. The door didn’t give, but my toe did! *sigh* I was worried about it, but it didn’t bother me too much.I am taking a vacation day tomorrow to work on the deck for the addition to our house, so [...]

The Wall of Fame is finished (for now). I plan on adding one or two shirts maybe and two hooks, one for medals and one for bibs. (Eventually, when the ceiling is finished I want to get more creative, with shadow boxes, but until then, it is done.) But for now, this is it: I [...]
Comments: What a difference a week makes. OMG. Last week I was almost ready to give up running and this week I had a GREAT run. This was the best run, time wise and feeling wise, I have ever had. I drank every 2.5 miles and GUed every 5. This is a switch from my [...]
