Maybe it was the snow, maybe I’ve been pushing to hard?  What ever “it” was I can’t look back.  I was in my 5Th week of training for Boston and what started out as an annoying pain in my shin is now a stress fracture.  Last Sunday Steven and I ran 16.  I felt great! … [Continue Reading]

Well my first “official” week of training for the Boston marathon is done. Only 11 more weeks of training until the 2010 Boston Marathon!  I am using a Hal Higdon plan specifically for Boston.  I used his plan last year and it worked well.  I am taking off one of the easy run days and making it… [Continue Reading]

It was a beautiful morning with the light snow from the night before.  Steven and I decided to go for a run on the trail.  I wore my Yaks because I wasn’t sure how slick the trail would be.  I hadn’t been on the trail since they redid it.  It was great, I think it… [Continue Reading]

Um, are we sure it’s November?  I checked the temp before Steven and I went for a run.  It said 49 with a high near 70?  I wore shorts and a tee.  It was such a beautiful day!  We were going to run the  Chatham high school and see if we could get on the… [Continue Reading]

Okay, I know I’ve been missing, but I have been working out.  This wedding has taken more out of me than I thought possible.  The past three Fridays I have been doing boot camp at Fit Club west at 0530.  It seems all we do is swim, bike and run.  I needed a change, and… [Continue Reading]

 On Wednesday I celebrated my Thirtieth birthday.  Yeah Yeah I know, I ‘m still a baby, and 30 is the new 20.  I heard it all this week.  But turning 30 doesn’t bother me, I ‘ve been 30 at all my triathlons this year anyway, and I am in way better shape now than I… [Continue Reading]

Reily had an hour walk through football practice this morning, so I used the time to run down my old favorite route.  Since I was back by the old house, I left from Grant middle school and ran down Washington to Bradfordton.  I got to wear my new Brooks running hat that I got at… [Continue Reading]

Sunday,  Steven and I completed in the inaugural 70.3 Ironman in Augusta Georgia.  We left early Friday morning, and drove the 12 hours straight.  We made it to the hotel just in time to attend the last mandatory pre race meeting, and then get our numbers( my swim cap color was pink! Sweet!), and check out the… [Continue Reading]

“Gnats”  has been all the talk on Facebook.  It’s that time of year, but It seem particularly bad this year.  Is it the mild summer we have had?  I don’t know but when I went to Washington park after work I had planned to run 5 mile.  I didn’t start to notice the gnats till… [Continue Reading]

60 years is a long time to be married to someone, and  I thought this training program was eternal.  This weekend we went to Steven’s Grandparents 60Th anniversary party.  Wow!  This morning Steven went and road the hills to Chandlerville and back.  I am so over this race, so I slept in and when he… [Continue Reading]
