I hate to be the bearer of bad news but your summer is over. Kids are either already back to school or starting any time and your "Oh, I'll get back to my workouts when school starts" excuse is sadly, lame. Sorry. It's been a long day. So unfreeze your YMCA membership, log onto your …

Getting it all on paper
It's t-minus 7 days until marathon training kicks into gear. I had a very strong running week and was able to add mileage without any additional aches or pains. I will attribute that to the daily yoga practice that I'm still, well, practicing. So as I get close to kick off for the program I …
Building the Base
My 16 week marathon training plan kicks off on August 15th and I'm preparing for that by building up my running base. So it's like I'm training for my training. I know, right?! I usually run 3 or 4 times per week and in fact, I've even trained for marathons only running 3 or 4 …
Taking Care of Business
So I'm a runner. And for you other runners out there you know the importance of taking care of your business before a run. Specifically your bathroom business. You get up, have your coffee, sit down and sometimes something and sometimes nothing happens. Regardless, you are meeting friends and have to get going. So you …
July Accountability Challenge

Set a goal for yourself and track your results and let me know how you did at the end of the month. Easy peasy. It's summer after all so simple is sometimes better. Don't forget to share your accomplishments …
Training Countdown
My marathon training program kicks off in a few weeks. I signed up for the McMillan Running Program and picked a 16-week training plan for the CIM in December. It's a pace-oriented plan that will, quite frankly, push me out of my comfort zone and if all goes well will make me a more fit …
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 …
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 …
