May I just start with a little whine? I really kinda do not like my Garmin very much. It is way too complicated for me and I was really OK with my basic Timex. It’s my fault that I showed the ol’ man a picture of it and commented on how cool it was- IContinue reading “Red or white?”

In the swim
I got in the pool today for some cross training and it was both very fun and very hard. The first half was the hardest as I was seriously sucking wind- and didn’t think I could make it across the pool every time I set out for another lap but I kinda found my grooveContinue reading “In the swim”
The Great Outdoors
Finally back outside today after 3 weeks!!! It was far from a “perfect” or even “good” run but I’ll take it. My plan was to do 6 miles but ended up doing 5.3. I decided to change my route because of the snow- figuring going straight down Main St. would up my chances of havingContinue reading “The Great Outdoors”
poo
I think I’m falling into a little runners depression here- I’m just feeling so very upset about not being able to run. I think maybe part of the problem is that I’m not in bed, needing -round -the -clock -care sick, but rather up and around and generally going on about my normal life butContinue reading “poo”
decisions, decisions…
So after much deliberation I have decided that I will NOT run my long run in the -8 and snow weather today but rather run it on the (blech) treadmill instead. I have been humming and hawing, and on my way home from dropping the kids off at school I was checking out the sidewalksContinue reading “decisions, decisions…”
5 miler… in the snow!
I have always been a bit of a drama queen… I’m an opera singer ‘fer crying out loud!! So there is something about running in the snow (yes it snowed one whole centimeter here on Friday!) that brought out the tough guy in me (cue Rocky theme song…cut to my chubby housewife self shuffling upContinue reading “5 miler… in the snow!”
back in the saddle
So I’ve had a bit of a slump… 2 whole days off- now that I write it down it doesn’t seem like such a big deal but I’ve pretty much been fretting over it the whole 2 days- partially me just feeling a bit burnt out and partially life not allowing me any time toContinue reading “back in the saddle”
Mama said there would be days like these.
Sunday I decide I need to get another outside run in as Mondays-Thursdays are almost impossible to do anything except run on the treadmill, as I have childcare issues. Fresh off my “hey that was easier than I thought” Friday run I decide to run a similar course but for 3 miles only, so asContinue reading “Mama said there would be days like these.”
“Long” run #1
Really, I think the hardest part of this training is going to be carving out the time to get the runs in. It is very complicated having to organize 7 other people (yes, I am including the other adult in the household as he needs much organizing!) Yesterday went something like this… I was soContinue reading ““Long” run #1″
