I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin; I'm sharing how Rachel @ Runningonhappy helped me wind down … Continue reading Winding down: 5/29-6/4 Weekly Wrap

5 Reasons Running is . . .
. . . more than racing Just last week I wrote about why racing can be important, even if you never win an award (read that post here), even if you're DFL. So this week I'm turning around and telling you why it's also important to just run. Today I am joining up with the Friday … Continue reading 5 Reasons Running is . . .
May 2017: Did I pass?
The toll of three halfs in as many months began to make itself known in May. I am in awe of people who run marathons every month or a gazillion halfs a month. That's not me. Let's get into it. Getting in scheduled runs Cold, rainy long runs. Sudden 90 degree heat. Windy. May wasn't … Continue reading May 2017: Did I pass?
Oy! The Outfit Decision: 5/22-28 Weekly Wrap
You would think after several years of running it would be easy to decide on a running outfit, right? Wrong! Why is the running clothes decision always so damn hard? I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin; and whoever our guest host might be this week. Because the more the … Continue reading Oy!

A week of good eats: 5/15-21 Weekly Wrap
If you're hungry, if you're trying to drop a few pounds (like I am, actually), you might want to skip over the favorites this week. You've been warned: it's drool worthy! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin; our hosts may be battling hot, humid weather in the south … Continue reading A week of good eats: 5/15-21 Weekly Wrap
5 Reasons I’m Stylish
I consider myself a fashionista. In real life and in my running life. I may be a Skirtsports Ambassador, but I wore them before I became an ambassador and even if they didn't continue to choose me as an ambassador, no doubt I'd continue to work as an unofficial ambassador. Today I am joining up with … Continue reading 5 Reasons I’m Stylish
Can’t do simple arithmetic: 5/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Seriously, apparently I can't count. I wanted to move my long runs from Sunday to Saturday -- my next half is a Saturday -- and it never occurred to me that I'd have two long runs in one week -- according to the calendar Rachel @ Runningonhappy uses, which runs Sunday through Saturday. Although since … Continue reading Can’t do simple arithmetic: 5/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Mud & Chocolate Half Marathon Race Recap 4/30/17
Yes, I tackled my first trail race in the Mud & Chocolate Half Marathon. It sucked (mud, that is) but didn't suck (as in I didn't hate the race). I wrote about being a traiblazer for my last half recap just a month ago (read about it here) -- well, now I can actually claim … Continue reading Mud & Chocolate Half Marathon Race Recap 4/30/17
At the movies: 5/1-7 Weekly Wrap
I was up to running this week, unlike after my NOLA half -- still really tired. Not sure why. Travel? Lack of sun? I also suffered a complete lack of motivation for any sort of strength training, and that definitely needs to change next week. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and … Continue reading At the movies: 5/1-7 Weekly Wrap
I Believe in the little things
I believe that often it's not the big things that trip us up, it's the little things. In prehab I believe that rehab sucks, and prehab (working on your weak areas before an injury), while not particularly fun, can definitely help. In dynmaic stretching I believe that just going out and running, for most people, can lead … Continue reading I Believe in the little things
