Originally posted in January 2011 during my quest to run 7 Rock N Roll Series events in one year and earn the Rock Legend Heavy Medal. We’re half way through 2011 and I’ve only completed 2 of the 7 events for the year. Fortunately, they were the two hardest because they were full marathons. After… [Read More]
Fitness for the body, mind and soul.
I want to be ready for any adventure with a sharp mind, capable body, and loving soul. These posts are my workouts, challenges, disciplines, and prayers on how to be fully fit.
Early Running Journal: Lonely Long Runs
Originally posted June 2011. I love to reread the posts from my early days of running with Team in Training. It reminds me how far I’ve come. Our team had arrived at our longest training run – the 18 miler. This can be great fun when you have an awesome pace group, like I do…. [Read More]
New Events, New Medals
While I think it’s fantastic that they’re adding so many new events to the Rock ‘n’ Roll marathon series, it’s kind of a bummer that they’ve also added a new heavy medal above and beyond Rock Legend. It’s called Rock Idol and you need to complete 10 events to claim the prize. They don’t even… [Read More]
My Fastest 5k in Orlando
Work took me to Orlando for a week and, as luck would have it, there was a 5k the morning after I arrived less than a mile from my hotel! I was able to squeeze this in before work and am very glad I did. The weather was certainly humid and warm but not yet… [Read More]
The Relay Detour
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]

Originally posted in January 2011 during my quest to run 7 Rock N Roll Series events in one year and earn the Rock Legend Heavy Medal. I’ve completed the first event for the year: P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon. I ran this event in 2009 and it was hot and the water on… [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]
