Yes, a title like that could get into just about any topic and maybe I will. Or maybe I’ll stick to the topic I was thinking of when I came up with the title. I’m having trouble staying focused this time of year. Normally, because of a spring marathon on the horizon, it is not… Continue reading This Time of Year
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
I think I finally have my schedule – at least my race schedule – figured out for March and April. No, I have yet to make a decision on May yet. There are so many possibilities for May. March has three races scheduled. The St Pat’s 4 Miler will kick the month off on the… Continue reading Race Schedule
August was a month. That is about all I really want to say about it. I have been in a funk of some sort through most of August and it has shown in both my marathon training and other parts of my life. The funk is undoubtedly influenced by many little things I call life… Continue reading Looking Back on August
I am seriously thinking that each month goes by quicker as we get older. That can be the only explanation for how fast July went by. I need to start cracking down to get to some of my goals by the end of the year as these months are going by so quickly. Top that… Continue reading Monthly Goal Check-in
Yes, it is July first. Yes, the year is half over. BUT, there is still six months to go. There is still a half year to come and all the wonderful things that go with that half year are waiting for us. I do, though, want to take a small bit of time to look… Continue reading Half a Year to Go
I think I have finally filled out the rest of my year’s racing calendar. There is a mix of local and not so local races. June will be race 10 and possibly race 11.The Vestal XX this Saturday is a favorite of mine. I couldn’t run it last year due to injury so am excited,… Continue reading Races and My Ever-Filling Calendar
Wow! I truly do not know where the year is going. I use to tell my days by a school calendar because my children were in school. That all ended last year so June is no longer the busiest month of the year. It’s still pretty busy, though. And, all that busy, that is how… Continue reading Monthly Goal Review
I make annual goals so like to check in at the end of each month. April seemed to buzz by rather quickly. Looking back at the beginning of the month, winter was hanging around but now, summer seems to be here. Not quite sure if we will see spring or not. I am not complaining.… Continue reading April in Review
Hard to believe a quarter of 2013 has already gone by. I am loving this year but not a huge fan of how winter is hanging on here in Upstate NY. Unlike in February, I did add to my goal of running 13 races in 2013. I ran the St Pat’s 4 miler at the… Continue reading Quarterly Goal Review
