Ding Dong – December is Over!

January 3, 2010

Since December is over, the dust is finally settling. I work for an online gift retailer and we’re so busy for Christmas, the entire month of December is always a blur. We’re a multi-million dollar “small” company, which means we’re “all hands on deck” for our busiest holidays. Regardless of our positions with the company, [...]

10 Things To Do While Injured and Not Running

October 25, 2009

1. Elliptical – My podiatrist likes to say, “let pain be your guide.” I was surprised when my achilles was hurting after walking a couple of miles this weekend so I’m not sure about the elliptical. I’ll give it a shot and if it hurts, stop. Duh.
2. Bike – I am missing the gene that [...]

No Running (For Now)

October 20, 2009

I completed the Girlfriends Half Marathon on Sunday and had my follow up appointment with my podiatrist on Monday. The verdict is in – No running for 2-4 weeks. I can try a light run at 2 weeks, but if there is any pain in my achilles, no running for another 2 weeks. If there [...]

Running a Half Marathon With a Bum Achilles

October 17, 2009

Today is the day. After having saint like patience (maybe a little bit of an exaggeration) for the last week and a half, I finally ran this morning. This is D-Day – Decision Day – to determine if my achilles will cooperate for the half marathon tomorrow.
After an “easy” 3-mile run this morning, I’ve decided [...]

To Run or Not to Run

October 12, 2009

After running 11 miles with some serious pain in my achilles, I am having to take it easy and see how I feel for the upcoming half marathon I’ve been training for. I had a physical therapy appointment on Friday, right before heading out of town for the weekend. I think I surprised my physical [...]

Safety Guidelines for Runners

October 6, 2009

I run alone a lot and although I’d like to think I’m pretty safe about it, my husband would probably disagree. If I’m on a trail when it’s starting to turn dark, if I don’t take my pepper spray with me, he turns into a nagging old bitty. (Sorry, honey, but you do) If a [...]

Superfeet are Super

September 29, 2009

I just bought a new pair of Superfeet and I just want to say, “Ahhhhhh.” Did you know you’re supposed to replace them every couple of pairs of shoes? I had my pair of Superfeet since 2007, but I only wore them off and on. I put them into my running shoes again lately and [...]

Do You Have a Running Blog?

September 9, 2009

I am cutting it short tonight because I am beat. I had track workout tonight and I mean, I was a good typical kind of tired before it started, but now I’m just totally done. Half assed, indeed.
I do want to ask you all about your running blogs though. I just put up a new [...]

Running in the Rain

September 6, 2009

Yesterday was the first long run in the rain this season. It wasn’t just a pleasant drizzle that helps cool you off. This was a typical Pacific Northwest, sopping wet downpour. When you’re running in rain like this, you’re soaking wet within 5 minutes so it really doesn’t matter how much rain is coming down. [...]
