It is officially fall season! Can you feel the cool crispness in the air? Yeah, me neither. It’s still quite warm and humid here in La La Land. If there is something I feel prevailing during the past several months of training is I think I’ve come very close to injury without anything completely knocking me…
Just as the title suggests, my mileage went from 70 miles down to 10. Actually more like 9.8, but who’s really keeping track? Uh, ME! All in a matter of one week. A friend of mine recently asked me, “You ever take a recovery week and knock your mileage in half?” I sort of have during training. Definitely very…
It took a few days for me to run again after the weekend – 3 days to be exact. I finished off last week with my highest mileage ever in my life! Yeah, somehow I managed to run/walk/hike/cry my way through 70 miles and it’s the most I’ve ever completed without the use of a car….
I wanted to write about my training adventure on the Backbone Trail while it was still very fresh in my mind, but I realized if I immediately wrote about it, there’d be a whole lot more “F Bombs” dropped in the post. Best to take a day, or four, to reflect about the experience.
On Tuesday I posted about reaching my first initial goal of receiving 75% of my fundraising goal for the American Cancer Society. I moved the bar up again and aimed to reached 90% so I can wear my new running singlet, and the goal was met within a matter of minutes of posting. On Wednesday morning, I woke up…
A day after having a not-so-great trail run I had tears for another reason – I reached 90% of my fundraising goal for the American Cancer Society which meant I get to wear my new running singlet! And then on Wednesday morning, I reached 100% of my goal and unlike Monday’s tears, Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s tears were…
Back in June, I received my first official shirt from the American Cancer Society (ACS) and I couldn’t have been more excited to receive it! I had no idea I was getting it! I mean, I knew I would be getting a shirt at some point but I didn’t know when. It was the first time…
I love when the night before a big race I have my things ready early, I go to bed early, and I get the best sleep ever only to wake up feeling so energized and refreshed for the big day. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen the night before the Bulldog 50K.
