Comments: I had to take walk breaks! That hasn’t happened it quite a while. Overall this was my 2nd fasted tempo run, so that tells me that even though I walked, I ran it harder than usual. I don’t enjoy these runs (1/4 mile regular pace, 1/4 mile fast, so on and so on) because [...]
Comments: The whole run I felt good, other when I stepped on a rock/big pebble and twisted my right ankle around mile 1.5. I think I recovered fast enough without pulling anything important and was able to put in my full 4. BUT, I really need to start running with my contacts in. At work I [...]
Comments: My game plan was going to be a 3 mile run, but I came unprepared for the cold weather. 40, but feels like 32…yikes! I am adventurous, but I would hate to get sick. So I did my strength training today, including an easy 20 minute warm-up on the elliptical rider. Time: 10:30 am Workout: [...]
Comments: I wanted to get my run in today so it would not ‘hang’ over my head tomorrow. So after spending 3 hours at the Zoo, and an hour in the car, I ran at home. I wasn’t sure if I was gonna go 6 or 8. It just depended on how I felt. Everything [...]

Comments: I forgot my Garmin at home…and I had taken my old Garmin home…oops. Oh well. The run was good, nothing hurt and I took it slow. I did notice however that later on in the day I felt really tired. Somewhat like someone who had gotten over the flue, and with their first day [...]
Great day for a race!
Posted: October 20, 2008 in Blogroll, Personal Record, Race, Race Report, RunningComments: We could have not asked for any better weather. Granted it was a bit chilly at the start, but if you are not new to the sport you know what to bring to keep you warm (trash bag or throw away shirt). So all was well. The first 3 miles were a blur. It [...]
This weeks theme at The Runners’ Lounge is “Running Quotes and Sayings“. I only have a few that come to mind: “Nothing is impossible!” – it helps me get up the hills and on the home stretches. “Don’t put an age limit on your dreams!”- I still have so much to achieve, but sometimes [...]
