• About Me

  • Running has brought great joy to my life. I use this blog to log my running experiences and maybe even inspire a few people to get out there and run. If a turtle like me who couldn't run for more than two minutes without feeling like I was at death's door can run, anybody can.

    This Week’s Running

    Well, I am tired of writing about the hip pain. But if I’m going to write about how my week of running went there is no leaving it out.  Tuesday I did 4 miles in 39 minutes  on the treadmill the pain was not to bad.  Wednesday I ran four painful miles on the trail [...]

    RPM vs. Freestyle Spin class

    The gym I go to has two different kinds of  indoor cycling classes.  I did not realize that RPM was so different until I attended.   RPM is a pre-choreographed cycling class based on outdoor riding.  The instructors are given a program and must memorize and teach it exactly as written.  At first the RPM [...]

    Hip pain, No run, Nice walk and Sunburn

    First Run With A Twitter Friend

    Today, I ran with Runnrgrl and we had a blast.   Honestly I was a little nervous because  I am quite shy and she is a much faster runner than I am.  The run started off a little late because I was waiting in the lobby at the wrong hotel.  I will blame my husband, we [...]

    When Did My Husband Get So Fast

    Ran with my husband again today and was I ever surprised.  Shocked that I could run at my normal speed again and  that my husband didn’t have a hard time keeping up,  in fact he was setting the pace for the last 2 miles.  We started off a little slow and picked it up a [...]

    Hips Okay, Hurray!!

    So I gave in and went to the doc.  He checked me out.  Everything is okay, no major problems, my hips are a little tight/stiff and my adductors are weak.  So he gave me some strength exercises to do and also some stretches.  He told me to take 2 advil with every meal for the [...]
