Live to run another day: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about how sometimes skipping runs is absolutely, positively the right thing to do. My two little runs this week have gone well -- both negative splits. I'm sure the shorter days are actually helping me out, because it's shadier longer in the mornings now. My BRF (Basal Resting Fitness) Have you heard of BMR … Continue reading Live to run another day: TOLT
90% of _____ is mental . . .
. . . and the other half is physical. The title is a quote from Wayne Gretzky, who was talking about hockey, of course. But it applies to whatever your sport of choice is. Physical: of or relating to the body as opposed to the mind Except when it comes to physical fitness, I don't think … Continue reading 90% of _____ is mental . . .
Austin Livestrong Half Marathon Race Recap 2/19/12
To date this is the only half marathon that Mr. Judy missed. He was at a conference on the west coast, so I flew out ahead of time, spent a few days relaxing, and didn't have to worry about waking him up super early to eat my prerace breakfast. He flew in that night. It's … Continue reading Austin Livestrong Half Marathon Race Recap 2/19/12
To race or not to race: 8/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Mr. Judy has some nasty allergy/cold thing going on (turned out to be the office virus). I had a slightly scratchy throat Sunday night, and laid there wondering if I should take an extra rest day. I didn't, and I had a great run on Monday. And that was the only run I had all … Continue reading To race or not to race: 8/8-14 Weekly Wrap
5 Recipes from Ambitious Kitchen . . .
. . . You Need to Try Before joining the Summer Sweat Series (it's over now, but I highly recommend it and am so glad I tried it), Ambitious Kitchen was not even on my radar. And that's just a cryin' shame, because Monique's recipes are just so darn good. SSS may be over, but I'm … Continue reading 5 Recipes from Ambitious Kitchen . . .
Why race?: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about my potential race this weekend; about whether or not it's wise to do it. It won't be decided today, not unless I wake up feeling a whole lot better than yesterday (doubtful, but you never know), but hey, it's what I'm thinking about. And I'll never be number one. But still . … Continue reading Why race?: TOLT
What part does heritage play in running?
Heritage: something possessed as a result of one's natural situation or birth Is running part of your heritage, your history, your blood? Some runners come from a long line of runners. Not me. While both my parents were athletic -- skiing, swimming, playing tennis and golf -- no one in my family was a runner. … Continue reading What part does heritage play in running?
The time I . . .
. . . left my water bottle in the garage As a slower runner who has "run" into empty water stations, I had always carried my own water with me, in one form or another, for a half marathon. Most shorter races don't seem to have as much trouble keeping water stations stocked, or I … Continue reading The time I . . .
Cookie recovery: 8/1-7 Weekly Wrap
Another week, more frustrations, but overall, not a bad week and I'm not even going to rehash the frustrating stuff -- I whined enough yesterday over tea -- except for Tuesday's run -- that was majorly frustrating and most of you are runners and that's why you're here. It's kind of a long one, so grab a cookie or two … Continue reading Cookie recovery: 8/1-7 Weekly Wrap
