House of Night
Despite my terror of vampires as a kid, the Twilight series has officially ruined me and my fear of vampires. You think I’m kidding? I used to imagine them on the London Underground when I was there — I was 21 years old. I had such vivid dreams of vampires as a [...]
Results for my 5-mile trail run
Well, I’m not sure how I managed it, but I beat my 10K time on the 5-mile trail run (pace-wise, anyway). Of course, a 10K is 6.2 miles, which is quite a bit farther, but I thought I was training more last fall. I hurt more, that’s for sure. Regardless, I ran [...]
5.85 miles
Is the distance from my work to my home, and tonight I ran it. Did I do it? Yes. Did it take me a really long time? Yes.
This weekend I am running the Everyone Runs 5-mile trail run, and I wanted to get a long run in before my taper, so [...]
Madness?
So the San Diego Half Marathon is just a figment of my imagination and there is only a marathon. Do I feel like killing myself? Should I attempt the insanity? I’m going out the door to bike the kids to the coffee shop this minute…getting exercise when I can…
(Ummm, this is not [...]
Scary
Here’s a pic of me crossing the finish line last Sunday. How scary is this? Oh, and just for the record, the time is not correct — it is the time for the marathoners who started about 30 minutes prior to the 5K race. I did not take 54 minutes to run [...]
I made it and lived
I ran the 5K this morning with a less-than-distinguishing time of 38 minutes. First the first time ever I walked during a race (with the exception of races I deliberately walked, of course). Masterguns Hunt was in my head in the last half, however, shouting at me to “stretch it out” and I [...]
The Miracle is that I even began…
It’s 5:03 a.m. and I am slinking around my house gathering running things. John Bingham’s words never rang truer than today. I am getting ready for the Arizona Distance Classic 5K.
Although “ready” might imply that I have run a single step in preparation for this race — I haven’t. Or that I [...]
Bullfeces
I love the name for this post. I also love the card game by a (ahem!) similar name.
Okay, first of all, the reason I chose this name (other than the obvious — that’s it’s a great eye catcher) is that someone asked if I was really going to run a 5K in two weeks [...]
Okay, so it inspired me
After writing the above post about the Wirefly National Marathon, I decided to suck it up and I signed up for a 5K on March 18th here in Tucson. It will be a great way to start off my spring and to get myself out of this slump. The run benefits the Leukemia/Lymphoma [...]
