Welcome to the July Accountability Challenge! Wait, what? I know, many of you love our fitness challenges, but the reality is it's July and many of you, myself included are taking time for trips and vacations with family or friends. So we're flipping the script and you're in charge of setting a goal that's attainable …

DIY Marathon Training Group
So as I posted recently, it's marathon year. I also have some serious goals this time around. I want to be able to race hard and make this my strongest marathon yet. Since I may be 10 and done, this is important to me. Recently I put two action items on my agenda (because I'm …
Running Rules
I have a lot of running rules. And a lot of running 'shoulds'. Here's an sample I only wear shorts. (And prefer Brooks Versatile shorts but they don't make them any more - grr) I don't round up my mileage. If Garmin says it's 4.99, it's 4.99, not 5 miles. I don't carry water unless …
Yoga is for Posers
So I guess I'm into yoga now. In full disclosure I've only been "practicing" for a week. See, this is cool. You don't 'do' yoga, you practice it. And you can bet your asanas (that means poses) that I quickly and painfully found out how much I needed to practice. Since I'm a runner who doesn't stretch I thought …
Project Brad – June Update
Here's a Project Brad Update. Brad and I went shopping over the weekend. There was a sale at the Men's Wearhouse and he needed some new dress shirts for work. Brad's old school and still wears a suit and tie to work every day. It's one of the things I love about him. But let's …

Trailing on the Trails
Here's a brief wrap up of the Rodeo Valley Trail Run I ran over the weekend. The race included an 8K, Half Marathon, 30K and 50K. My pal Stephanie found this race and we thought it would be a fun thing to do. Stephanie was looking for a milestone and I thought it would be …
Nine is Fine but Ten is My Goal
As I've written about in the past, I started running, really running, with Team in Training back in December, 2000 when my daughter was just 13 months old. I ran my first marathon (Nashville) in April, 2001. I ran my second marathon (CIM - California International) in December, 2001. Then my third (San Diego) in …
Goal-Focused Training
If I'm not training for an event my workout intensity drops dramatically. Now that doesn't mean I stop exercising but I'll be the first to admit that my weekday runs will drop from 5 or 6 miles to 3 or 4. And if I can get in more than a 6 miler on a Sunday …
Adventures in Trail Running
A few weeks back I wrote about a trail adventure that my pal Stephanie and I had on the hills above our neighborhood. A wrong turn turned led us on a very confused run. On the plus side we did manage to go eke out 10 miles as we ambled. But we finished the run …
