The Alaska Heart Run was today. I haven’t done this race in years mainly because it is a 5K. Those races are sprints which I hate. I like longer distances where I can get set in my pace and just cruise to the finish. But I am doing these races anyway to get back into […]
Alaska Heart Run and NYRR Virtual Training
Training this week has been a little exhausting. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am using the NYRR Virtual Trainer for my June half-marathon (part of my journey to getting to the NYC Marathon). This week-end I am planning on running the Alaska Heart Run 5k. So, the training program has taken that […]
NYC Marathon: Baggage and Transportation Options
Yesterday was the day to choose baggage and transportation options for the NYC Marathon. I really wanted to take the bus so I was online the minute the NYRR posted the options. Choices are on a first come basis. It just seems logical to take the bus being that it is only 0.7 miles from […]
Training for Mayors Half Marathon
I have planned on doing a couple of races as preparation for my NYC Marathon training. One of those is the Mayor’s Half Marathon here in Anchorage, Ak. This week starts the training for this half. I was undecided about which training program to use. There are so many and all of them have good […]
Running and Easter Fun
It is so nice to be running in 50 degree weather!! And the snow is finally melting. Awesome day out. Yes I was able able to return to running after that week off, although my foot is still a little tender but it doesn’t really hurt during the run. I am restricting my miles for […]
Training and Injury DeJa Vu
I love running gear, all kinds! And this is my right out of the mail NYC marathon motivator…for now anyway (I have gotten over the fact that it cost more than $30.00 to ship to Alaska!) It fits so nice, perfect! Now I just have to keep running. The running has been going fairly well. […]
2016 Bear Tooth Skinny Raven Shamrock Shuffle
I do not particularly like 5K races because for me, they are just a sprint from start to finish. I am not a sprinter by no means. I prefer the longer races where I have time to settle into my pace and just run. But, I signed up for the Skinny Raven’s Shamrock Shuffle 5K […]
The Right Running Shoe, Again!
I really miss those days when I could just go out and run. Yes, those days of my youth. I could run in any kind of running shoe and never get injured. Nothing hurt. Now, with every pair of shoes I buy, I need to know the return policy because it is likely they will […]
Diet Does Matter
Eating healthy requires constant planning and awareness. Sometimes, I just don’t want to do it. I get exhausted from it all, and I would just like to go out and have whatever I want. But, even if I do that, its not without a constant dialogue of justifications going on in my head. I couldn’t […]
Therapy That Keeps Me Running
It is unseasonably warm here in Alaska. We are even having to haul in snow for our Iditarod Dog Race. Check out this video from the Associated Press. Unbelievable! It is Alaska….right? No we don’t have much snow, but we have had plenty of ice! I have gone from running on icy trails to running on […]
