Summer Olympics
I’m not doing well at all at vlogging every day this month but here are some thoughts on the Olympics.

It’s Been a Year
It’s been one year. It’s been six years. Two different milestones but really two very interconnected milestones. Six years ago, I toed the line at my first marathon. My mother was a big cheerleader in my running. She never said I shouldn’t do it because I’m too old, I’ll hurt my knees or any of… Continue reading It’s Been a Year
Training in the Fall
Fall is here, meteorologically speaking. If I were in Upstate NY, I could be racing every weekend for the next few months. I am not finding that to be the case here in the desert southwest. I have found no nearby races but that will have to be okay as I am here for seven… Continue reading Training in the Fall
Richmond Marathon – Recapping Race Day
Grab a warm beverage. I truly recommend cocoa or herbal tea today as it is cold, January type of cold, here in Upstate NY. This will probably be long. I took a Greyhound bus, actually two, to Richmond so was without a car. At first, I didn’t think that was going to be a problem… Continue reading Richmond Marathon – Recapping Race Day
Hambletonian Marathon & Good Time Trotters Relay
Hambletonian Marathon & Good Time Trotters Relay, a set on Flickr. Where, oh where, did I go? Absolutely nowhere. Not this past weekend but the weekend before was very busy. I was longing for a quiet week but that was not to happen due to the activities of the weekend. I photographed at mile 21… Continue reading Hambletonian Marathon & Good Time Trotters Relay
New Badge on My Blog
Race ambassador. There’s no definition in the dictionary. The title means something different to every race. Most races will give a race ambassador a free race entry. In return, the ambassador helps get the word out about the race. I’m happy to let you all know I am a race ambassador for the Asheville Marathon… Continue reading New Badge on My Blog
Training Plans – Flexible or Not
I am at the Tuesday of week 7 of my 18 week training plan for the Anthem Richmond Marathon in mid-November. My question is have you ever felt a training plan was out of whack for you. This is the second training cycle in a row that has me questioning if I picked the right… Continue reading Training Plans – Flexible or Not
Training Is Coming
Training for marathon number six is just around the bend. This cycle will begin on Monday. I am still sitting here staring at an Excel sheet trying to figure out what training plan I am going to use. Let me tell you some of the things I want in a training plan. Flexibility! I know… Continue reading Training Is Coming
Pittsburgh Half Marathon Recap
Last May the full marathon in Pittsburgh was my first of two full marathons in the month of May. This year, I am not being nearly as daring. I am running the half in both of those cities as opposed to the full. First, I spent Saturday morning wedding dress shopping with my daughter and… Continue reading Pittsburgh Half Marathon Recap
Blue Ridge Marathon Recap – Last 13 Miles
I believe I left you at the Star on top of Mill Mountain. If you recall, I had sort of caught up with Angie. We headed, not together but close, down Mill Mountain. The down was curvy and a fairly sharp incline. Not far down the hill, about a half mile or so, there was… Continue reading Blue Ridge Marathon Recap – Last 13 Miles
