. . . being uncomfortable Training Week 6: Best Damn Race Savannah Half When it came to running, this week was definitely all about being uncomfortable -- as in pushing, not as in pains/injuries. I ran a 10 mile LSD on a real beast of a day -- feels like single digits with winds gusting … Continue reading Get Comfortable . . . : 1/7-13 Weekly Wrap

Trying new stuff: 12/31-1/6 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 5: Best Damn Race Savannah Half The new stuff is down in favorites, although I did end up running on unpaved paths/non technical trails a couple of times this week. The snow is still bypassing us, so you have to take advantage of that! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns … Continue reading Trying new stuff: 12/31-1/6 Weekly Wrap
Wrapping up 2018: 12/14-30 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 4: Best Damn Race Savannah Half I'm beginning to add in some speed work, but am being somewhat conservative in my training. In fact, I'll probably continue to go back and forth between three days a week and four days a week. Mostly it will depend on the weather and how my body … Continue reading Wrapping up 2018: 12/14-30 Weekly Wrap
I feel the need for speed: 12/17-23 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 3: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Definitely a much better week than the previous one. Running is going pretty good. In case you hadn't noticed, I'm not pushing as hard as I did in the last four goal races. It was a lot of hard training, so this time I'm still training but … Continue reading I feel the need for speed: 12/17-23 Weekly Wrap
Running & Watering: 12/10 -16 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 2: Best Damn Race Savannah Half The week went sideways on me (read more about that in favorites, although it wasn't a good thing) and I didn't get as much activity in as I wanted -- but I got my runs in and the bonus is my legs are feeling pretty good again. … Continue reading Running & Watering: 12/10 -16 Weekly Wrap
Back in the Groove: 12/3 -9 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 1: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Let's just say it wasn't an auspicious start to my training for my next half: I finally felt like I got back into the groove. The taping was helping my hamstrings tremendously, my paces were normal, I had a great run Friday and Saturday last week, and … Continue reading Back in the Groove: 12/3 -9 Weekly Wrap
Don’t Patronize me!: 11/26 -12/2 Weekly Wrap
On my Friday on my long run, this guy passed me, calling out passing on the left. No biggie, right? Only he also said older, slower runner passing. Well, you're passing me, so obviously you're not running slower than me. I get it, he said he was 69 (no idea why he felt he needed … Continue reading Don’t Patronize me!: 11/26 -12/2 Weekly Wrap
Sometimes change is good . . . : 11/19- 25 Weekly Wrap
. . . and sometimes it doesn't feel so great This Thanksgiving was bittersweet, in more ways than one. Bitterly cold, for example, which had me running on the treadmill instead of in a Turkey Trot. I've run in weather that cold, but it was just not calling to me this year. Also bittersweet because … Continue reading Sometimes change is good . . . : 11/19- 25 Weekly Wrap
Bye bye racing; maybe?: 11/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
It seemed like all the races were canceled this weekend. At least the ones I was interested in, anyway. Some of the Sole Sisters got together to run, but frankly, I need all the time I can get before Thanksgiving so it's probably just as well those races were canceled. In case you missed it, … Continue reading Bye bye racing; maybe?: 11/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
Short & sweet race week: 11/5- 11 Weekly Wrap
Slowly easing back into activity and my last "long" run/race for a bit. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to share running and racing this week -- I had my eye on a couple of 5ks in the next couple of weeks but now I'm … Continue reading Short & sweet race week: 11/5- 11 Weekly Wrap
