Sunday’s run was another wet one. It was not raining when I left, but started raining almost as soon as I got on the trail, I could not believe it. But I just kept running. The run went pretty quickly, I did not bring anything to listen to it was just me and my Garmin. [...]

Rain was moved out of today’s forecast so my excuse for not running my long run today was no longer valid. I could have said it was to cold, but 43 does not really qualify as to cold, after all I have hats, gloves, tights, vests, and anything else I would need. So I got [...]

Went to a spin class today, first ever. I’ve never been on a spin bike before and don’t do very much cycling in general, so I was a little nervous about getting through a 45 minute spin class. I arrived at the gym a little early, so that I could drag my bike in, get [...]

Woke up to rain and cold temperatures this morning, so I went to the gym right after I dropped the kids off for school. Andrew came with me today, it was nice to have company. Even though he does his own thing when we go to the gym together it is fun nice to just [...]

My only problem with them is that they are lightweight and don’t really offer enough shock absorbtion and cushioning for long runs. So I went in search of a [...]

Last week I ran 47 miles, it was quite a bit more than my training program called for and I was really feeling the extra miles yesterday. After stretching, icing, foam rolling and taking the day off today, I feel much better and I am sure my legs will be ready to run again tomorrow. [...]

Today’s run, I knew from the get go was not going to be a fast one. Normally the day before a long run (for me anything over 10 miles) is a rest day or a three mile easy run day. Yesterday I covered seven miles: 2 walking, 3 running with my daughter, and 2 running [...]

Once again I changed my running schedule up a little. I was supposed to run 10 but only ran 5 and walked 2. We went out to the new part of the trail again, we took the kids the long way this time. I was surprised by how much the kids wanted to run. My [...]

My husband and I were on our way out the Brushy Creek Regional Trail for a run this morning and noticed that the “no trespassing” sign at the entrance to the new portion of the trail (which is conveniently located two blocks from our house) was no longer there. So we decided to try it [...]
