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

By Jove, I Think He’s Got It
The first 10, sometimes even 20 minutes of a run usually don't feel good; mentally or physically. It's too dark or too bright, you're too tired or really too tired and your body is stiff from sitting all day or it's so dang early you're still half asleep. Some days, especially in the dead …
Project Brad
'Project Brad' is back on track. For those new to the party, I convinced my husband Brad that he would gain more bang for his fitness buck if he started to run. We began in late Fall, got a few runs under our belt then abruptly stopped when Brad injured his plantar fascia and heel during a …
Weathering the Weather
These rainy days have me feeling a certain kind of way. A little sluggish, a little blah, a little meh. Bleh. As we have settled into the cellar of Winter I sometimes find it more challenging to drag myself out into a dark and rainy morning to exercise. If you are also having some difficulty …
