The highlight of this post is my handsome and very talented grandson. He is 10 years old (9 at the time of his test), and he tested for his 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Getting his Black Belt is no easy feat. It is a lot of work, dedication, commitment, self-discipline, and […]
Running Update
From melting snow to blooming fireweed…..just like that. Time just goes by so fast it seems. But, lots of things have been happening during that time which is mostly really good, but some…well uh, not so good. So first the bad news….. My running was going great! I felt great! I was running about 30 […]
Base Training and Late Night Runs
This week I learned a couple of things about myself in regards to running. I typically do not run on the days that I work because I am so exhausted by the time I get home. I wake up at 5 am so I can be on my way to work by 6 am, and […]
Easter Week-end Family Fun
I had a great week of building my running base. But the best part of my week was hanging out over the Easter week-end with my family. I absolutely love, love, love it when they come over. I truly wish it was more often. We all just get so busy I guess. Maddy and Tylor […]
Training and Pacing
Such a busy week, I’m lucky to have even gotten my runs in. I am just continuing to build a base and for the most part taking my runs nice and easy. I don’t see any reason to push the pace until I have a good base established. But pace is definitely something to start […]
This Week’s Base Building
I have been saying that I don’t think that the Hansons Marathon Method would work for me being that it is a running schedule that consists of 6 days per week. But, as I started reading the book I was really inspired by this method. I was almost convinced that I could actually do it […]
A Week Of Just Fun Stuff
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 […]
