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

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 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
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
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
