Double digits plus 3 more winners

May 30, 2010

Yesterday I went for my first double digit run since the marathon.  I ran a hot, sweaty, slow ten mile run from Iwo Jima out to near Belle Haven and back.  I really hope my legs aren’t completely recovered, because the last five miles were darned hard.  I have a spot behind one knee that [...]

Fit? Maybe. Fast? Not so much, plus 3 more winners

May 28, 2010

Remember that whole Fit and Fast thing?  Yeah, that’s not exactly screaming along.  Sigh.  As I mentioned earlier, my running has not exactly gone well this week.  Today is another non-running day as Friday’s just don’t generally allow for much beyond a walk or a little bit of toning work. On the plus side, last [...]

Three Things and Three Winners Thursday

May 27, 2010

1.  Running has sucked this week.  Truly sucked.  On Monday I went out for a 3-4 mile run.  At mile 2.5, my GI system ended the run.  Since I live in an urban area, a tree was not an option.  I’ve never been so thankful to see my front door.  Tuesday I ran a mile [...]

Baby brick

May 25, 2010

This morning I did two things I’ve never done before in my life: 1) I did a “brick workout” (bike then run for those who don’t know) and 2) wore a bike helmet. Now, before you go yelling at me about not wearing a helmet before, please understand that the last time I rode a [...]

7 things about me

May 24, 2010

Anne over at Asthma and the Gift of Running tagged me for the Versatile Blogger Award. I’m supposed to tell you 7 fun things about me. 1.  I have a mild case of amblyopia (AKA “lazy eye”).  To strengthen the weaker eye, I wore a patch for a short time in grade school.  On school [...]

600 miles and Rock Your Socks 10K

May 23, 2010

Rock Your Socks Virtual 10K Hosted by the awesome TMB at “Racing with Babes” I knew today’s 10K would not be a PR before I even put on my shoes.  (I know, shoot high, right?)  My legs are still tired from the marathon, it was warm out, and I *may* have overindulged a bit last [...]

Fit and Fast by Forty

May 21, 2010

In three months, I hit a new decade.  I am not really having any angst about turning 40, but I do want to hit my 40s in great shape.  My 30s were hard on my body.  I spent much of that time trying to get pregnant, pregnant, or nursing.  I looked like this twice:   36 [...]
