It’s cold again today. What is that about? Let’s rewind: yesterday was beautiful, so we started the day at a driving range. I always feel all official walking in with my shiny golf clubs but as soon as I take that first swing it’s pretty obvious I’m not the serious golfer that I imagine myself … Continue reading »

Compression Socks and Central Park
Hi there, friends! Thanks for all the love on my 5K post. I’m glad you continue to join me here. I sure love hearing from you! Because I like you so much, here are some FRIENDS bloopers. ‘Cause who doesn’t love to laugh? By the way, I’m watching that in Starbucks. Evidently people think it’s … Continue reading »
Surprise! Race Recap: St. Patrick’s Day 5K
Surprise! See that pretty bib number pinned on my shirt? That’s right…I’ve officially completed my first race back from injury! (!!!!!!!!) After my post about the races I’ve missed this year, I started thinking about how I’ve been progressing recently. I was able to run 3.1 pain-free miles on a treadmill last week. I know … Continue reading »
Shopping, Sweating, & Singing

However, a beneficial, heart-pumping workout is one that makes you uncomfortable. A hard run … Continue reading »
Unexpected 3.1
Apparently, my life is the definition of “inconsistent” and “contradictory”. After that whole “I can’t run races, stupid knees, stupid hamstring, whine whine whine” post yesterday, I went to the gym and did this: After all that lamenting on my recent race-less life, I headed to the gym and ran my own 3.1. It wasn’t … Continue reading »
The Races That Weren’t
Happy Monday! Remember when I made a list of the races I was hoping to run this Winter/Spring? Another race on my list passed this weekend, which reminded me that I need to review and update my 2012 race goals. Unfortunately my knees/hamstrings are still not where they should be – rehab is taking much … Continue reading »
Sickness and First Place Fakeout
Hello, my lovely readers! I had big plans in mind for this week. Plans that included FlyBarre, running, and some serious lifting time. Unfortunately my body had a totally different idea. I ran for 10 glorious minutes on Monday evening and was feeling good about that. I went to sleep with every intention of going … Continue reading »
