A bit of a detour from marathons, but a few of my TNT teammates were trying to get a 12-runner relay team together for a 194 relay event on April 30th/May 1st. So, naturally Jason & I signed up! Best thing we ever did. I would much rather say we spent our 2 year anniversary… [Read More]

My First Yoga Class
Originally posted December 2010. Apparently this was my very first actual yoga class! Well, I didn’t get in a run today. However, I DID go to my first yoga class! I’m not so sure that it counts as a running substitute. More like a supplement. It reminded me a lot of our strength training routines… [Read More]

Early Running Journal: Running on Vacation in Texas
Originally posted December 2010. Early Running Journal blog posts remind me of those growing years when I didn’t identify as a runner yet because I had to take walk breaks. It helps to reread these and remember where I was at and see how far I’ve come. Christmas Day: Bullard, TX – 3.1 miles, 2:00 PM, 40… [Read More]

Early Running Journal: Training when it’s raining
Originally posted December 2010. I keep these early blog posts to remind me where I was at in the first years of learning to run. Two things going against me: 1) My newest pair of running shoes is trying to shave down my ankle bone for some reason and I think that has caused me… [Read More]

Early Running Journal: I don’t run well in the heat.
Originally posted in September 2010, when I was still walk/jogging with Team in Training. I still am not a huge fan of running in the heat but I’ve since learned how to survive with less mental anguish. The Heat Factor I have a big issue with running in the heat. I’m not talking about… [Read More]

When I Hated Strength Training
When I Hated Strength Training The post below was originally written in August of 2010. I keep it up to remind me where I was at mentally and physically in the first 1.5 years of my running and fitness journey. For the record, I still do not love “core work” because it’s still difficult but I’ve… [Read More]
