Training and Other Fun Activities

June 16, 2016 Leave a Comment

Summer gets pretty busy with so much going on and so many things to get done! I am squeezing in this post just like I have been squeezing in my training runs! The training has been going well for the most part. Although, I have made a couple of decisions that have impacted my training […]

Running, Bears, and Hooligans….

May 27, 2016 2 Comments

What a beautiful day for a long run. I know a lot of places get days like this every day but for us Alaskans, it doesn’t happen often enough! It’s actually hard to tell from the angle of this picture, but this is coming up to the top of a  pretty significant hill that is […]

My Running Week after an Awesome Mother’s Day Getaway

May 14, 2016 2 Comments

I had a great long run of 9 miles on Saturday. I ran my regular route which is pretty hilly but I was pressed for time. I typically go into Anchorage and run a flatter course for the long run. Even with the hills, I still ran about a 9:40 pace (1:27:07). My training program […]

Progress with the NYRR Virtual Trainer

May 5, 2016 1 Comment

Like I mentioned in my last post, I won 1st place in my age group in the Heart Run. I definitely was not expecting that and didn’t even stay for the awards ceremony. But, this week I received this in the mail. So cool! 🙂 Having won an age group 1st place finish really boosts […]

The Alaska Heart Run Recap

April 24, 2016 2 Comments

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

April 22, 2016 1 Comment

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

April 15, 2016 1 Comment

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

April 13, 2016 2 Comments

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 […]

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

March 26, 2016 2 Comments

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. […]

It’s been hard to get anything done or even thin It’s been hard to get anything done or even think about running with all that is happening in the world🥲 but I managed to get down my icy driveway to run on the dry roads. Super windy!!! I had a really hard time on the hills  against that wind. But I got it done and I increased my run/walk to a 4:1 ratio x 7 so I am happy about that. #runnersofalaska #runalaska #runwalkrun #runnersover60 #ilovetorun #buildingarunningbase #windyalaska #crazywinterweather
Sonja - @nurse_sonja_ak - and I had planned to cel Sonja - @nurse_sonja_ak - and I had planned to celebrate in memory of my Mother on her birthday but I had minor surgery that left me down and out longer than I had expected and Sonja ended up positive for Covid. But, despite that look what she did! She is so talented and creative. She remembered Mom as someone who was always stylish. She took pride in her appearance. A specific memory inspired Sonja to make these beautiful clay earrings! How special is that? My Mother would have loved these. #inmemory #rememberingyouonyourbirthday  #neverforgetyou  #bestdaughterintheworld❤️ #talenteddaughter❤️ #clayearrings #madespeciallyformom  #thelittlethings❤️

Running with knee OA is interesting. Take yesterd Running with knee OA is interesting.  Take yesterday, my knees were bothering me a little, to the point that I wasn’t sure if I should run. But, I thought… give it a try, see how it goes. I can always just walk. And it went great! I even added an extra run/walk cycle to the program. And today I have absolutely no knee pain. I’m even running up and down stairs (when I need to go up them) trying to create some pain (I know sicko) but nothing??? Go figure! Nothing has changed. But hey, I’ll take it! #runningwithosteoarthritis #kneearthritis #runnersover60 #runwalkrun #kneepain #nokneepaintoday

I wasn’t feeling like getting out today but my h I wasn’t feeling like getting out today but my hubby convinced me to go out for a ski. I did need to get in some cross-training so off we went.

I’m not sure that I should go on vacation especi I’m not sure that I should go on vacation especially if I am going to have such a hard time adjusting back to the cold!  I’m beginning to believe that the cold and dark is not good for my health. It was soooo nice in Hawaii!! I’m still getting out for my runs and bike rides but I have been slow to get back to the exercises and stretching.  I’ll get there! #backtothecoldweather #runak #buildingarunningbase #crosstraining🚴#winterbiking🚴❄️ #fattirebiking #runnersover60  #keeponkeepingon🏃‍♀️
We are back to snow and ice. While we were away th We are back to snow and ice. While we were away the temps warmed up to in the 40s causing everything to melt just so it can freeze over once the temp drops!! Please send me back to #mauisun . We did get out for a bike ride today so it wasn’t too bad I guess. The new snow made conditions a little tolerable.  #winterinalaska #snowandice #fattirebiking #winterbiking #ilovemyfattirebike #ilovetorun #running2run #getfitalaska #optoutside
