I’m not sure why I feel compelled to start writing here again. Well, I know where the “impulse” came from… M.I.A’s Paper Planes. On my run today, it came on- blasting through my headphones. Yes, headphones. I used to be a purist and NEVER run with music, but now I need all the help IContinue reading “I Fly Like Paper, Get High Like Planes…”

They tried to make me go to Rehab…
I’m not running. It just would be silly- I want to be running when I’m 80- so I have to get a handle on this injury now. So no marathon, no 1/2 not even an 8K- I am lying low. I tried Moksha yoga this week and loved it. I would say it was myContinue reading “They tried to make me go to Rehab…”
A very big decision
I just made a very BIG very IMPORTANT decision. Ever since the 1/2 I ran a week and a half ago I have really not been able to run. I gave myself a few days off after the race, then came down with a cold and generally felt very low energy. I got out forContinue reading “A very big decision”

I guess you can say I crashed… I was fighting a cold the day before and the day of the race and then it pretty much hit Monday and has hung on in a very annoying way- that kind of sick that makes it completely possible to carry on with your normal activities but youContinue reading “Blah”

Race Day
It’s race day and I’m feeling pretty positive. And even though started all this training maybe wanting to get a PB- now all I really want to do is finish- finishing strong would be nice but just let my knee hold out to get me over the finish line. And then tomorrow, I start trainingContinue reading “Race Day”

Not panicking…yet!
My knee is bothering me. I ran 15.5 k on the weekend successfully- and for the most part felt strong- except for the last 10 minutes or so when my knee felt “twingy” Today on my 8K just past 1/2 way it was pain I felt so I stopped to walk a 2 minutes notContinue reading “Not panicking…yet!”
