| I did it, I had a long run and didn’t totally keel over! Originally, the plan was a 7-miler but last night I had dinner with a friend who is training for a half marathon in 2 weeks and it got me really excited. So excited in fact, I was even entertaining the idea of … …Continue reading 9+ miles and feeling good I had SUCH a good run this morning. Wow, it has been three weeks since I have been able to say that and it feels so good. I was in the right mood, it was lightly drizzling and beautiful out, and I let myself run as fast as I wanted to, though I did force … …Continue reading a delicious and satisfying run So after my successful run on Halloween I kinda fell sick. I guess my body really wanted the rest? So I was off work until Wednesday and really didn’t feel 100% until today. But seriously everyone at work is sick. Like everyone. It’s an epidemic, and yes probably swine flu. Apparently BC is being … …Continue reading back on, again, I survived my 10 miler this morning despite drinking a whole bottle of wine last night. Good thing I was at least with it enough to drink a ton of water. This is also the first long run in awhile where I have fueled properly. I woke up at 9, ate a bagel with peanut butter … …Continue reading 10 miler success, knee still sketchy I think in these situations I am my own worst enemy, I need to take some time off for the ole knee I think.

The goal … …Continue reading shortened tempo, the knee flares Had a nice slow slog this evening after work. I was really worried about my knee, and I haven’t been feeling great so I just kept it slow. I accidentally under-planned my route and decided to call it while I felt good rather then push too hard. I could really feel the tightness around my knee, … …Continue reading successful run, whew I had 4 miles scheduled today, and I figured if my knee was still feeling bad then I would skip it.

The weather was perfect, my body … …Continue reading 3.4 mile run with iffy knee Although my plan called for me to do my long run tomorrow I opted to do it today.

I actually went out with the intention of only doing 3 … …Continue reading a very rainy 9 mile run Sometimes all you need is encouragement. Without whining, I wasn’t feeling it this morning but I was still out there for a quick easy 3 mile run before work and before the sun rose. I was in my little grumpy world when I saw a woman walking to her car, she looked and me and … …Continue reading "good for you" I was bad and didn’t stretch or roll out yesterday. I got a new fancy frying pan for my birthday (yes I am that kind of geek) and was all excited to try it out.
