To say I haven’t been blogging much would be an understatement…to be fair I also haven’t been running much either. I’ll spare you the boredom of a drawn out, excuse ridden apology….Long story short, I’ve had other things in my life I’ve had to make a higher priority over the last year and sadly competitive […]
I’m in a not so rare random mood right now, so I apologize in advance for the free flowing thoughts! 😉 I just wrapped another training week with a long run on the C&O canal. Even though it was a bit chilly (Yay for Underarmour cold gear!), it was a gorgeously sunny day and not […]
Love or fear?
I don’t know about y’all…something about all this sunshine after the Mid-Atlantic’s last long, gloomy stretch has me in an AWESOME mood! Speaking of things that are awesome, does anyone else (especially those with kids) ever get that song from The Lego Movie stuck in your head…”Blue skies, bouncy springs. We just named some awesome […]
Yesterday I ran my first race of 2015, my first race in 6 months, the Barlowe Bolt 5K! This is my second time running this race, you can see last year’s race review here….It felt great to stretch out my legs and a great confidence booster to push the pace a bit! I was able […]
It’s no big secret…I’m obsessed with running but that hasn’t always been the case! I HAVE always enjoyed working out but have a strange combination of exercise ADHD and OCD. I go through phases where I’m really into a certain work-out and treat it like it’s my religion, then one day I am decide I’m […]
At the beginning of the week, while slowly plodding along on my treadmill, I had a major “mental break-through”…which is way different and way better than the mental break-downs I usually have! 😉 It went something like this, “What the f*ck are you doing?! Your foot is fine…get the eff over it, and stop running like […]
Growing up I always had my nose in a book and my head in the clouds. I could entertain myself for hours laying in the grass or sitting in a tree, facinated by everything around me and imagining my little heart out! Every teacher, every year, every report card had the same comment….something to the […]
I’ve been back on the treadmill for almost 2 months now, and have reestablished a 20 mile per week base. I’m taking a cautious and uber-conservative approach to recovery. At times I wonder if I’m being TOO conservative, with the three stress fractures in my right foot being the first major injury I’ve ever (*knock […]
It’s been forever since I’ve posted a blog. Life has been busy lately and I’ve had to prioritize, so my blog has been moved to the back burner. Don’t get me wrong though, I’ve still be running, and am making a lot of progress in rebuilding my running base! I just saw this video on […]
