I’ve been meaning to get a post like this up for some time. I want you all to know why I review certain items and from where these items come. I will, regardless of where the items come from, always be 100% honest in my reviews. I do not want to read the standard line… Continue reading Where Do I Get Products, Books, Races to Review?
Sometimes it literally feels like time is flying. The first month of 2016 is gone already. And so I have to look back and see if I am still on track with my annual goals or do I need to reassess. Fitness I am totally good on not having run any marathons in January. I… Continue reading January Gone Already
My first week in the desert flew by as my sister and I went through decorations that were our mom’s. I also spent time getting use to a borrowed bike for Tour de Palm Springs. I had some running to do to prepare for the Palm Desert Half. Those two events took up my weekend… Continue reading Vacation
Sunday morning started in the dark and me in a running skirt and tank top. My sister was wondering what else I was going to wear. It was warm enough that that was it. I put on my shoes and grabbed my #runchat hat and heading to the Palm Desert Civic Park to get lined… Continue reading Weekend in the Rearview – Part Two
I generally do a really detailed race recap but my photos did not turn out all that great and I took no photos on the bike ride on Saturday but I will still do my best. Saturday, my step dad and I headed to Palm Springs at 7:30. When people ask, I tend to… Continue reading Weekend in The Rearview – Part One
I’m going to spend my Friday picking up bibs and numbers. This is my big race weekend for the winter of 2016. I traveled over 3,000 miles to be able to do a brick of a weekend. I know, not a big deal to a triathlete, but for me, cycling on Saturday and running on… Continue reading Race Weekend
With a new year starting, I am sure most of us runners are plotting out our 2016 race schedule. I know I like to have a list of races by the beginning of the year for several reasons. I don’t want to miss a great January race. I also find I manage to keep my mileage steady if I… Continue reading Do You Re-Run Races?
You are probably thinking that the title to this post is pretty obvious. How else could people run in circles on a track for miles? Run in places, essentially, on a treadmill – again for miles? A person would have to be pretty inventive, right? Let’s talk about some every day products that runners –… Continue reading Runners Are Inventive People
Just before I put the new calendar on the wall in my kitchen – yes, I still have a paper calendar – I had someone ask me if I had a race planned for May yet. Did I want to run the inaugural Herald of Victory marathon which will be in my current area? If… Continue reading Spring Racing Schedule
With the beginning of each new year comes the reminder to renew my membership to my local running club. If you are a runner, you should do the same. Below is a piece I wrote several years ago. If a membership in your local running club was not on your holiday wish list, consider joining… Continue reading Join a Running Club
