I recently sat in on a Twitter Chat with Bart Yasso. Yasso is an accomplished runner and now works with Runner’s World. He is an author and developed the marathon training technique bearing his name, Yasso 800s. Anyway, the comments in reply to many questions mentioned an off season. What is this off season?… Continue reading Off Season?
Sunday morning dawned – actually pre-dawn – wet and cold. A quick check of the weather web site indicated it was 41F and raining at the start line. Better yet, the wind chill was 36F. Now came the big decisions. Keep the short sleeve shirt? Hope the rain will end? Wear a jacket? I put… Continue reading Wineglass Marathon – Race Recap II: The Actual Race
I have wanted to run Wineglass Marathon for over a year. I decided in July 2010 I was going to run a marathon. I just didn’t get registered in time to run the 2010 edition of Wineglass. Fate had it that my first marathon was the 2011 Myrtle Beach and Wineglass – a local marathon… Continue reading Wineglass Marathon – Race Recap I

I really love running half marathons. That, along with 15K and 20K races, seem to be my ideal distances. I can run a full marathon and I can run a 5K but I get the most out of a half. Last Thursday evening, I ran the Tromptown Half. This was my first time running this… Continue reading Tromptown Half Marathon – Race Recap

I have been running – literally and figuratively – around a lot this summer so I am going to try and catch up these next few weeks as the kids, not quite sure why I still use plural as I… Continue reading Women’s Distance Festival – Binghamton
A while back a good friend of mine gave me a disc and a sample of Vemma Thirst to try. This is an item that is out there in the hydration market but is an item that is sold through what I would call network marketing. It is available through brand partners. Anyway, I was… Continue reading Vemma Thirst: Product Review
Just a quick preface to this post. I started writing this back in September of 2010. Not sure what caused me to stop writing back then but I only wrote two short paragraphs and will finish now. I am shedding. I have decided to clean house in a manner that leaves me with more… Continue reading Shedding
The last installment on my journey saw me still 40 pounds overweight from having twins and finding myself pregnant with number four. While I did not gain massive amounts of weight with the fourth pregnancy, I did start off at too high a weight so was in a bit of a quandry. I couldn’t, or… Continue reading Healthy Lifestyle Journey – Part III
