Woot! Woot! I ran a Turkey Trot this year. Last year I was laughing at all these people getting up early to run a 5K or 8K race before settling into a food coma the rest of the day. This year, I was up and getting bundled and out there with them. The local running… Continue reading Race Recap – 8K Turkey Trot
I wish I had been in the taking photos mood. I did head to the race location early with photos in mind but decided to forego the photos as soon as I realized I had missed calls from home on the drive, the 20 minute drive, to the race site. I have posted many times, since the… Continue reading TCBGC River Run – Race Recap
Very few words as I am typing with fewer fingers than normal – story for another day. Here are my photos from the 2010 Wineglass Marathon. Sorry John, Chris and Mike – I didn’t see you all out there on the road. Also wish I could have noticed Claire from the front but having never… Continue reading Wineglass Marathon

The 2010 race was the 28th running… Continue reading OctoberFAST 10K Race Recap

I am a guest blogger over at Katie’s today. Please head over to Legally Fit to see what is going on with Katie and what I have to say about choosing a training plan. Okay, so the post doesn’t have a lot about actually choosing the plan but you’ll get it I am sure.
Yesterday was my longest run to date, 20 miles. There are many reasons this is important but the biggest thing is I learned some lessons I can apply to life in general. Plan your work and work your plan. I have been following a plan for marathon training. There are a few “ifs” or “buts”… Continue reading Life Lessons from the Long Run
This particular race was a challenge, not in the course but in the weather. If you look at the pavement we are on, it is very wet. We may have been in a slight sprinkling period as it was taken but there were torrential downpours throughout the race. I was thinking we would be on… Continue reading Race Recap – Catharine Valley Half Marathon
I have never been a smoothie fan until I started training for a half marathon. Now I am training for a full marathon and I am drinking, eating smoothies all the time. Sometimes, I have them pre-run but usually post run. So here is the one that freaks out all my friends. Undoubtedly, I get… Continue reading Post Run Recovery Smoothie
