Reminiscing

August 30, 2009

I ran 6 miles with a couple of friends yesterday. With the Girlfriends Half Marathon around the corner on October 19th, we spent a good portion of our run talking about our experiences with the half marathon last year. It was our first half marathon and our first time running 13.1 miles. Definitely a learning [...]

Communities for Runners

August 21, 2009

I’m online a lot. That might be an understatement. I work for an online retailer so I’m online all day at work. I go to school online (on break right now) so I am online a lot of evenings and weekends. I also love social media so I whether on my Mac or my Blackberry, [...]

The Grass is Always Greener

April 11, 2009

I was really looking forward to this break from running. I was going to slow down so that I could feel restored and ready to go harder and better. I tell ya, the grass is always greener on the other side. Now that I have this down time, I hate it. I want to hit [...]

Break Time

March 28, 2009

Runners are notoriously dedicated to their long runs, or their weekend runs, or really any of their runs. I’m committed, but my running group help keeps me accountable, especially on those Saturday mornings when I feel like sitting in front of my computer in my jammmies with a cup of coffee. So when my group [...]
