Heritage Museum 5K

eve of my 1st 5K in 23 months
The last 5K I ran was May 15, 2010. I ran 19:33 (6:17/mile). I’m honestly not sure what to expect tomorrow. Ideally, I’d like to be faster than that. I know I’m strong, but I don’t feel fast. The fun … Continue reading

This is long overdue. A mental slump overtook me just before the Seaside Half Marathon. It was brought on by a re-energized cold (that I thought I was kicking) slamming me full on the week of the half. I was … Continue reading

out the window
In my last post, on August 2, I stated: I have 2 goals for the month – to not take more than 1 day off in a row, and to run at least 20 miles a week, hopefully 25-30 miles … Continue reading
routine – take 2
I am a routine runner. I’m sure I’ve written about this before – yes, in early June, right after Jon’s back surgery. When my routine gets whacked out, so does my running. I’ve been traveling with the kids for over … Continue reading
