Run to Raise Money for Schools
I like a charity run as much as the next gal. So check out this local run that not only raises money for local schools but offers kids and adults alike a chance to get out for a run, walk or stroll on October 15th. There's a timed 5K Run/Walk, a 1 Mile Fun Run …
Get It Done
I plot. Create a plan. Put it down on paper (always on paper). Then I get to work. Does my plan always go as planned? As I expected? Um, no. But here's the thing. I know this is going to happen because the reality is, running isn't my job. I'm not getting paid to run. …
Lace up for Races
I ran in The Giant Race yesterday in San Francisco. My 10K time, while not great (in my opinion) landed me 17th out of 274 runners in my age group; F 50-54. I have about 2 weeks of consistent, but light, training under my belt since coming back from vacation so I didn't expect quick …
B-Ack! to Training
School starts in two weeks which brings up mixed emotions. I LOVE summer but I also LOVE structure and summer with the kids home blows that up. They're old enough to be free range; one works, one burns his eyes out on his Xbox and I can get to the office when I need …
Get Out. Get Fit.
I can't remember the last time I stepped foot in a gym for a class or a workout. And I used to be a very devoted gym-goer. The bike, treadmill (oh yes I did), weights, aerobics, the pool, the locker room. Yep. Did it all. But now? Nope. Can't do it. Won't do it. I …
How to Run
First let me state the obvious. People make running way more complicated than it needs to be. Sure, there's cadence, pace, foot placement, etc. but for a new runner it's all Greek so let's keep it simple and just focus on what to do with your body when you run. Ok. Start running. Now …
Rah Rah
If you want to see me giddy like a little kid at Christmas all you need to do is tell me you want to do some kind of endurance event, a race, have set a goal, or are working on a challenge. My little brain starts spinning, I perk up and I want to know …
The 10 Minute Rule
Like you I don't always feel like exercising. If I have a class to teach or a friend to meet for a run that's different because people are waiting for me and I'm not one to disappoint. But when it's just me, myself and I, some days it's harder to get out the door. That's …
