It's been a frustrating week -- no wait, kind of a frustrating month -- and so I have a lot to spill over my cup of tea. And yes, normally I'd link up tomorrow, and I was working on a normal Friday Five post, but it needs a bit more attention and I'd already started … Continue reading Yay for Procrastination!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2017
August 2017: Did I pass?
August was a month of good running, but I've let a lot of stuff slide that I really shouldn't. Let's not even talk about the length of my hair (and bangs!). It's kind of scary. So let's get right down to it. Getting in scheduled runs I skipped one run this month due to feeling … Continue reading August 2017: Did I pass?
Still challenging myself: 8/21-27 Weekly Wrap
I had company for almost every run this week, although there was a lot of confusion -- mostly on my part. Did you see my runfessions about senior moments? You can read it here. For the first time I "raced" the day after my long run (and I use that term very loosely). I'm joining … Continue reading Still challenging myself: 8/21-27 Weekly Wrap
Senior Moment August: Runfessions August 2017
It seems as though most of August's Runfessions are brought to you by my senior moments. And lemme tell you, they've come fast and furious in August. Not to mention the fact that I had this post mostly written ahead of time and yet somehow failed to realize that it was time for it! Join … Continue reading Senior Moment August: Runfessions August 2017
5 Ways I keep My IT Band Happy
ITBS: Illiotibial Band Syndrome. Stress fracture might be one of the most feared runner injuries, but ITBS is right up there with stress fractures. It can linger a long, long time and opinions on how to treat and/or cure it vary widely. I have struggled with it, and the truth is, while it's been rather … Continue reading 5 Ways I keep My IT Band Happy
Reflections from a Long Run
When you run 10 miles on your own, you have plenty of time to think about things. I can't even imagine what it would be like on a 20 mile run! Mile 1: I'm so glad I got out here relatively early. And this is a great place to run (other than the fact that … Continue reading Reflections from a Long Run
Busy with life: 8/14-20 Weekly Wrap
There was a lot of solo running this week, including my first double digit run in a while. Next week looks to be much more sociable. I hope the forecast is right -- there's a trail festival on Sunday and I'm hoping to do the 5k as a recovery run. Right now the forecast looks … Continue reading Busy with life: 8/14-20 Weekly Wrap
5 Steps to Increase Your Mental Toughness
Mental toughness. We all want it. We all know we need it. We all know it can mean the difference between a good run and a bad run. Yet mental toughness remains tough! I'm a firm believer that what you believe, you achieve. It may not happen on your schedule, but if you keep believing … Continue reading 5 Steps to Increase Your Mental Toughness
The Summer of the Shelf Bra
I never liked shelf bra tops. The bra never seemed to fit right or the top was too tight showing every roll. So I shied away from ordering any of the Skirtsports shelf bra tops. Big mistake. Huge! With the spring line, I ordered a couple of the newer tops with shelf bras. And I … Continue reading The Summer of the Shelf Bra
Potty talk: 8/7-13 Weekly Wrap
Apparently skipping a run last week did me a world of good -- my first instinct was to make it up later that week, but I decided not to, and it was definitely the right decision. This week I was able to get in all my runs, add strength training back in, and so far, … Continue reading Potty talk: 8/7-13 Weekly Wrap
