TOTR: Phoning it in
Or would if I actually had any cell coverage out here. I’m pretty sure I’m going through withdrawal, since the only time I have internet access is before a race at 5am or in the evening, by which point I’m pretty much too tired to think. In fact, it’s 8:15 pm as I write this…
Skirt Sports visit, big sky country, and reader’s choice giveaway
We are here! Today I am running the first of 6 half marathons that are part of the Mainly Marathons’ Center of the Nations series, starting in beautiful Baker, Montana. We’ve had a busy but fun trip so far. We got up at stupid early on Saturday morning and got to the airport by 5:30am. YAWN!…
The week I forgot to run
OK, maybe I didn’t forget to run. Maybe it was more that life and my body wanted me to taper. Remember last Monday when I ran 9 miles and hit 200 miles for the month of August? Well, as of today, I’ve run 9.5 miles in September. I do plan to run today and tomorrow…
Double agent? Ultra? Both or nothing?
Two months from now I’ll be done with the Hansons Marathon Training method. Two months from now I’ll likely be hobbling around the house after the Marine Corps Marathon. My running plans stop there. I have nothing on the horizon – no half marathons, no trips for a race, no grand scheme to moon up…

Skirt Sports 13er Giveaway!
We all know I love the half marathon distance (guess that’s why I’ve done 39 of them LOL). It’s a challenge, but it’s a distance that’s manageable to train for with a busy life. But really, is it just “half”? No!
Treating myself with a Katie Mae Quilt
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll remember that last year I decided to run 13 half marathons in 79 days. It wasn’t just an arbitrary goal – I wanted to reach Venus level with the Half Fanatics. OK, well maybe that is arbitrary LOL. Of course, that got me 13…
