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…”

must get it together
It has been awhile but I am still here… up until this week I have been doing the bare minimum running wise- usually bettween 3-4 runs a week- this past week I have not run once… boohoo. My IT band has been SO tight- not actually hurting but feeling like it is going to snap-Continue reading “must get it together”
Blah
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”
Everything’s comng up roses…
…and daffodils and cherry blossoms and crocuses and tulips… gotta love the winter Olympics in Vancouver! Anyhoo- On running… I’ve ran. 3 times this week to be exact. 3K on Monday, 5K on Tuesday and 8K today. And me knee has held out. There were twinges on Monday- but today I felt strong. I am stretchingContinue reading “Everything’s comng up roses…”
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!”
Come hell or high water…
I’m doing it. I’m gonna run come hell or high water- my post last week where I ran (pardon the pun) down every (quite valid really) reason I can’t be running right now just didn’t sit right. Instead of making me feel “better” or “relieved” or “off the hook” I was just depressed about it.Continue reading “Come hell or high water…”
Je suis ici!
I am here. Life is CR-azy. 2 runs in the past 2 weeks. New job, new kids schedules… I am determined I will run again, VERY soon. I cannot wait for things to settle down, but rather, must figure out how to work within this chaos. Because really, when is my life ever NOT chaotic?Continue reading “Je suis ici!”
Feelin’ Hot Hot Hot!
My “haven’t run in 3 days” excuse de jour? It’s just too darn hot!! It seems we’re breaking records in the temperature department here in balmy Vancouver… 33.8 Celsius! and while I don’t have too big a problem with it myself I find the kids to be particularly cranky, and of course the last 2 nights haveContinue reading “Feelin’ Hot Hot Hot!”
Grind It
Today I finally get to do a “little” something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, The Grouse Grind. It’s one of those outdoorsy things that I would daydream about while out on my long runs along with kayaking, yoga, cycling, rock climbing, skiing… all things I don’t have time for, things thatContinue reading “Grind It”
…Ain’t No Cure For The Summertime Blues
As much as I love summer and the opportunity to break with the monotony of schedules, the racing from one activity to another, the juggling, the “lets GO! everyone in the van!!” I am certainly finding, in terms of ” getting things done,” I thrive in that atmosphere, when there are a billion things to getContinue reading “…Ain’t No Cure For The Summertime Blues”
