You know you're training for a race when you have a 10 mile training run planned, you know it's going to rain buckets but you get out and run anyway. There's not a lot of room for rescheduling. The race date is set and you have to get the miles in. Mother Nature doesn't care if …

When the wheels on the bus come flying off..
I recently ran into a friend who had been training for a full Ironman event. We chatted for a minute to catch up and of course I asked him about his training for the race. He confessed that he'd decided that he was not going to be able to do the race due to some …

Seek and ye shall find
I have an opportunity to train with some very strong and dedicated ladies. Three mornings a week they drag themselves out of a warm, cozy bed and come to Boot Camp. They show up in the rain, in the bitter cold of January (ok - to clarify we live about 20 minutes north of San …
A Race a Month Through 2013
After my recent half marathon I've decided that I'm going to plan at least one race a month between now and December 31, 2013. Normally I do a race then drop the training down to a maintenance level then ramp up as needed. By scheduling and paying for races it will keep my training at …

Musings on Training for a Race
My husband Brad (whom I love to bits) came home after playing golf yesterday and I asked him how his game went. I listened for a few polite minutes then had to fess up that I was only asking out of polite curiosity. I mean the man can go on for a looooong time about …
Half-Marathon Training Update
I've been training for a half-marathon since mid-March. Originally my little group had planned to run a new race in the wine country but about a month ago they cancelled the race. It's kind of lame to cancel a race, in my opinion, but they didn't ask and there you go. This left our running …
Why Recovery Runs are Important
When training for a race, each of your training runs serves a purpose. My training plan has an easy run, run at race pace, long run (at a slower pace) and then the beloved recovery run. The recovery run is the one component I used to consider optional. For the past few years I've learned …
