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
Tuesdays on the Run
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 . . .
A Day in the Life 2
What I Did/Ate Monday I gotta admit that I just didn't have the time/desire/heart to write a post for today. So I decided to take the "easy" route and just write about what I did yesterday. It wasn't quite a typical day in that I had to bring Lola to the vet (which I knew … Continue reading A Day in the Life 2
Firecracker 4 Race Recap 7/4/16
This was my third time running the Firecracker4 (you can read about last year's race here). It's one of the few races I almost always run with friends, so that makes it one of my favorite races! It's a challenging course, but it also has great spectator support. We adopted Bandit the night before, and I was so … Continue reading Firecracker 4 Race Recap 7/4/16
How Choosing a Race is like . . .
. . . Adopting a Rescue If you read yesterday's Weekly Wrap, then you'll understand why this is so much on my mind. I put a lot of thought into choosing my halfs. I do some research -- reading the race Website, checking out any reviews I can find. And I have come to learn that you … Continue reading How Choosing a Race is like . . .
How Running is Like a New Dog
Today's topic was absolutely perfect for me -- how to choose your races. I put a lot of thought into choosing my halfs, and I will write about that someday, but my life got hijacked by a Bandit this weekend, in case you didn't see the Weekly Wrap. It's already turned me back into a … Continue reading How Running is Like a New Dog
The Dark Side of Blogging
It's so easy to get sucked into the dark side. We all start out with good intentions -- we find things we love, and we want to share what we love with other people. And maybe we want to make a little money, too, because who couldn't use a little extra change? Bloggers really can … Continue reading The Dark Side of Blogging
RnR Las Vegas Half Marathon Race Recap 12/4/11
It's time to take a walk back on memory lane to my very first half marathon, RnR Las Vegas 2011. I have some race recaps I've written on SparkPeople; before I was on Facebook or had a public blog (I had a private blog on SP). I decided it was finally time to hunt them … Continue reading RnR Las Vegas Half Marathon Race Recap 12/4/11
Freihofers 5k Race Recap 6/4/16
It's a 5k -- that means the recap ought to be short, right? Wrong! So wrong! So here's the short story: always a fun race that starts too late on a hot day (usually); plenty of water, thank goodness; and while no PR, it was a PB (personal best) for me, for this race. Read … Continue reading Freihofers 5k Race Recap 6/4/16
Genie, May I?
That's the question this week's Tuesdays on the Run linkup asks. What would you ask for if you rubbed one of your race medals and a Genie popped out and granted you three wishes? That thought just popped into my mind last Tuesday and I decided to run with it. I love those people who are … Continue reading Genie, May I?
