. . . Runners Need Yesterday was President's Day -- it's a holiday that often escapes my notice, as I don't have kids in school, and seriously -- who thinks about President's Day except for the kids? We should, though; Presidents have many qualities that runners really need. Vision Say what you want about Obama, … Continue reading 5 Presidential Qualities . . .

Zzzzz: 2/6-19 Weekly Wrap
This week was still long, still tiring, but minus the snow shoveling, not nearly as bad as the previous week. And I had a nice birthday (more on that in my weekly favorites). The best part? I slept a whole lot better than I have in a long, long time. And I really needed that. … Continue reading Zzzzz: 2/6-19 Weekly Wrap
5 Ways to Get Out the Door in Winter
I can be a Debbie Downer as much as the next girl, but not too long ago I wrote about how I hope to inspire people with this blog. Today's subject for the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy is 5 winter fitness rants. Only five? I could probably write a book. … Continue reading 5 Ways to Get Out the Door in Winter
Devoloping Character: 1/30-2/5 Weekly Wrap
So last week I wrote about how we're not buried in many inches of snow. All you people who kept bemoaning our lack of snow -- can I please have it all directed at you? Cause it changed for us big time this week, with no end in sight. It's February, though, and it's pretty … Continue reading Devoloping Character: 1/30-2/5 Weekly Wrap
Anatomy of a training cycle
You've probably seen the facebook memes using emojis for running a half marathon or a marathon. No? Well, you can see one on a blog here. Today I'm going to write about the training cycle, not the actual race itself. Yippee! I'm signed up for a race! I am so excited (how many times have I … Continue reading Anatomy of a training cycle
Navigating Winter Doldrums: 1/30-2/5 Weekly Wrap
February has started out relatively mild so far, and by mild, I mean we're not buried in many inches of snow. That doesn't mean it's been all sunshine and rainbows, no siree bob. It's been gray, windy, and cold for the most part . . . except for the occasional glimpses of sun and the … Continue reading Navigating Winter Doldrums: 1/30-2/5 Weekly Wrap
January 2017: Did I pass?
I may have been slacking (somewhat) on recording my fitness this month -- I used to do a monthly review in my journal. But I've never before done it online. I must say, after working on this post, I'm glad that I did (and hope that it becomes a regular Tuesdays on the Run topic). Getting … Continue reading January 2017: Did I pass?
Goodbye is so hard to say: 1/23-29 Weekly Wrap
I kind of feel like I'm on repeat lately -- tired, missing sunshine, slightly stressed, some good days, some meh days . . . it might be mild, but it's still winter! Oh, and don't worry about the post title -- nothing dire, we'll get to that in the favorites of the week. I'm joining … Continue reading Goodbye is so hard to say: 1/23-29 Weekly Wrap
Run the Utah Valley Marathon with me!
As I mentioned in yesterday's post (read it here), I am so excited to have the chance to run the Utah Valley Half Marathon on June 10, 2017 (disclaimer: I was provided a free race entry from the race organizers). What's almost as exciting? Being able to share my good fortune with one of my … Continue reading Run the Utah Valley Marathon with me!
Setting the bar high
Today our hosts are asking how much is the most you would pay for a race. I think the most I ever paid was about $125 or so for Las Vegas (my first!). And I've gone as low as $35, I think -- and pretty much everywhere in between -- including free -- thank you, … Continue reading Setting the bar high
