We are almost one month into 2019. How are your goals coming along? Do you even remember what your goals were? Are you struggling to stick to those goals? Even if you love to run, there are probably parts of running that you wish you did better . . . or did at all! It's … Continue reading 8 Tips that really create new habits

Shoveling as Fasted Cardio: 1/14-20 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 7: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Alas I think that was our last week with no snow on the paths -- mostly, anyway, as I ran through just a little snow on Friday (yup, we got caught in the big snowstorm today). Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll warm up and melt the … Continue reading Shoveling as Fasted Cardio: 1/14-20 Weekly Wrap
Get Comfortable . . . : 1/7-13 Weekly Wrap
. . . 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
November 2018: Did I pass?
When it comes to racing, 2018 was just an odd year. Some highs, some lows, and a lot of races that just didn't happen (but luckily weren't registered for so I lost nothing). Getting in scheduled runs Essentially there were no scheduled runs. No big goal races. Not as much racing as I usually do … Continue reading November 2018: Did I pass?
