Fun things happening this week… I received my copy of Run Fast Eat Slow in the mail. I wanted to try one of the recipes right away so I chose Hearty Minestrone With Spicy Sausage and Beans. It was soooo good! I loved it! Instead of using the spicy Italian sausage, I used Moose chorizo that I […]
Setting Goals for Fall Marathons
This is the time of year when a lot of runners are gearing up to begin training for their fall marathons. The stress of getting in via lottery or other means is over. The real work begins. And yet, I have recently noticed that some runners in my social media running groups are already talking […]
Building my Base in the Snow
The Eagle River Valley got over a foot of snow this week which made running outside a bit difficult. Running indoors on a treadmill is not an option (well it is, but I really hate running on treadmills), so I head outdoors even when it is snowing. I did wimp out one day, but later […]
Sunsets, Swans, and More Snow….Plus Speed Test (Blog related)
Yes, the snow was melting as I mentioned in my last post. I was very happy to be running on pavement at least part of the way. I went to bed with a beautiful sunset and even looking forward to more runs that were not going to be on snow and ice. But, so typical […]
Spring Training and Hanging with the Grandkids
Spring training went okay this week. The temperatures ranged from the high teens to the high 20s, Warming up! I am soooo tired of layering and taking as much time to get ready to run as the run itself. But, I did a couple of runs on the frozen and snow packed Eagle River. Seriously, […]
Start Running Today
I have a friend that bought a pair of running shoes a couple of years ago because he wanted to start running. I mapped out a build up to running schedule for him, and when I checked in with him later, he said that his running shoes were still in the box. Two years later, […]
Pre and Post Run Stretching
As I have gotten older, I have come to accept the importance of Pre and post run stretching. I miss those days when I could just get up, run, and go about my day. I rarely did any type of warm-up and only occasional post run stretching. That definitely decreased my total work-out time. These days […]
Spring Training – Building a Base
It has been so incredibly cold these last few weeks that I have not been able to run outside. I know that I have been a little whiny about this, but come on! Warm up already, it is March! The positives though is that clear and super cold brings some of the most beautiful scenery. […]
Shamrock Shuffle 5K
The Shamrock Shuffle 5k was this past Saturday which, surprisingly, I ran. Because of the cold and my lack of tolerance for treadmills, I have not been running that much. I had signed up for the race early in the year and had training plans that would have given me a pretty good base by […]
NYC Marathon Results Magazine and Getting Healthy
Finally! I received my NYC Marathon results magazine. I was buried so deep in all those results that if I didn’t already know my finish time, I would have never found me! Ha ha! Interesting that I received this now, right when runners are applying either to the 2017 NYC Marathon guaranteed entry or to […]
