Well, look at me writing again so soon! I know it’s been two months since my last post, but whatever. Thank you for the kind comments on my last post both here and on Facebook – y’all sure know how to make a girl feel loved! I decided to write a little update post today… Continue reading Mississauga Marathon Training: Month 1

I just felt like writing today. In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t felt like that in a long time. So, why today? What’s different? Nothing, really. I’m in Tulsa in “my” room in my friend Patty’s house. I’m back for the Route 66 Marathon for the 8th year in a row, although for the 3rd year… Continue reading TALES FROM THE CRYPT

Since the last time I blogged, the following things have happened: I had (another) surgery on my shoulder I stayed extremely sick from whatever I contracted on my trip to Cuba and lost 15 pounds I got two blood clots in my arm, one of which was Deep Vein Thrombosis I started a new job and… Continue reading THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

Wow, long time, no blog – even for me! Whoops. Just in case anyone has been hovering on the edge of their seat wondering what happened to me, I thought I’d do a little life update. I’ve got some other fun posts coming up soon, too – I just need to sit down and actually… Continue reading LONG TIME, NO BLOG – UPDATES!

In the immortal words of Jerry Garcia: what a long, strange trip it’s been! If you’ve missed my long-winded race reports, you’re in luck! I’M BACK. If you’ve been following along over the last few months, you know I’ve been training for the New Jersey Marathon. You know that I was pretty much crushing it in… Continue reading A SHORE THING – NEW JERSEY MARATHON RACE REPORT

I’m going to be honest – I thought I was in the clear. I made it through my 18 and 20 milers with flying colors just a few weeks ago, and then had two cutback weeks before gearing up for another 18 and 20. The New Jersey Marathon is just around the corner, and I’ve… Continue reading SPOKE TOO SOON

It’s been a busy two weeks and we’re now into the final month of training before the New Jersey Marathon! In some ways, it feels like I’ve been training forever, but in others, it feels like I have just started. After two months of pretty steady build up, these past two weeks have seen cut… Continue reading A LITTLE CUTBACK AND A BIG MARCH

There’s no other way to slice it – this week was my biggest and best yet of this marathon training cycle! I ran my first 20 miler of the cycle and chose my race, too! Monday – 6 miles: After several big weeks in a row (including last weekend’s 18 miler), I was worried that my… Continue reading CHOOSING A MARATHON AND 20 MILES!

Man, where does the time go? It’s like I blink and the week is over and it’s 10 pm on Sunday night and I realize that I haven’t posted anything about my training in weeks. It might lead you to believe I gave up training for my as-yet-to-be-determined marathon, but I haven’t! In fact, these… Continue reading DON’T PANIC – I’M STILL TRAINING
