Timed Run

September 5, 2009

It’s early on a Saturday morning and I’m about to head out into the rain to run a timed 6.5 mile run. The Girlfriends Half Marathon is 6 weeks away so this timed run of half the distance will give me an idea of my pace for the upcoming event. It will also help determine [...]

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 [...]

In Need of a Revival

June 17, 2009

I met my running group at the track tonight and had a realization. To be honest, I can’t really call it a realization. I already knew it before, but tonight just smacked me between the eyes. Reality, I guess. A friend of mine has always said, “it is what it is.” So true…

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 [...]
