It certainly wasn’t my intention to post 11 days after my last write-up, but here I am. Honestly I can’t say I’m too surprised since life has been a bit busy. Going into the previous week I knew training would be taking a hit, but while it made me a bit nervous, I kept reiterating…
It is officially August! Yay!! August is lovely. August is my favorite! August is birthday month! I’m not one to go all crazy about my birthday. Generally I’m actually pretty quiet about it, but this year I’d very much like to reach my next birthday because the day before, I’m running the Bulldog 50K.
This week was interesting. While the smoke from the Sand Fire had dissipated immensely, the air was muggy and hard to run through. I opted for a few days on the treadmill where the temperature was still warm but not as humid. Oh this humidity. If I just had to handle the heat, fine, but this…
Saturday, July 23rd marked 14 weeks until Javelina Jundred and while I’d like to say it’s still waaay too early to freak out, I can’t help but have some mild anxiety over it. 14 weeks seems so short, now that I think about it. I mean, it was this time last year (July 2015) when…

I love the sentiment of promote what you love so that is exactly what I’m going to do here! There are so many negative things in our world and I find we don’t acknowledge all the good positive things that we love, running-related or not, as often as we should. So with that in mind, I’m going to share…
I just had to pick the loudest, most squeakiest treadmills in the gym but I needed to get part of my run in. The humidity outside feels heavy and draining, and it’s tough to breath as deeply as I’d like. I needed some relief from it. I don’t “dread” the treadmill as much as some people do….
