Ah… that would be me talking to… ME! Guess who just walked the last 2 K’s of an 8 K run… ME!! So, clearly 5 K is all my knees can take at this point. It is where they gave out last week on my 10 K and it is where they gave outContinue reading “You just don’t LISTEN!!”

Let’s get real
Shortly after Friday’s not-so-good-due to knee-IT Band-problems -run I had to take a bit of a reality check. My plan to “take it easy with every other day 6K’s and doing another 10K the next Friday was perhaps not the best plan because as much as I want that to be an easy week, forContinue reading “Let’s get real”
4:45:29
It’s 2 days post race and I am finally sitting down to write about it. I really wish I had had the time and energy to do it immediately after the whole thing was over because it would likely be a slightly different story. It’s much like (look out, here comes the childbirth analogy!) givingContinue reading “4:45:29”
8 days
I regret that I haven’t been able to really blog “properly”- by that I guess I mean regularly- there are so many things that cross my mind while I’m out there running and then, well, it’s all about having the time non? I just know it will be lots of fun to look back andContinue reading “8 days”
6.2 to go…
It’s official… I’m tapering (or weaning as a friend called it- I kinda like that, I’m weaning myself off the dreaded long runs…) Saturday’s 20 miler was bitter sweet- but it’s done- and I was initially kind of excited for what lays ahead (the actual race on May 3rd) but now I’m getting aContinue reading “6.2 to go…”
Almost 15… I’ll take it!
15 was the plan and I didn’t quite make it (I did 14.30 miles) due to several factors but I’m OK with that. I broke 13.1 and that is what I was most concerned about. The first 4 miles felt easy except that I really really had to pee so I was very distracted lookingContinue reading “Almost 15… I’ll take it!”
Que sera sera…
I am in a bit of denial that the race is tomorrow. When I am out there running I can grasp the concept of running 13.1 miles but when I am just going about my day to day business it doesn’t quite sink in that I am running a Half marathon… TOMORROW! I did 2Continue reading “Que sera sera…”
Snowdrops
The best thing about Friday’s 10 mile run? Snowdrops!! and not the ones that fall from the sky but the kind that poke up out of the ground- I first spied a few at about mile 5 and I tell ya it was what I needed to keep me going to be sure. Spring isContinue reading “Snowdrops”
Steady as she goes…
It has been a rather steady week, thank God, although, I still have not got my long (8 miles) run in yet which always makes me a little nervous. Monday was a rest day (Sunday was 4.5 outdoors) Tuesday was 4.5 on the treadmill and my first evening run because of baby boy #6’s inabilityContinue reading “Steady as she goes…”
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”
