So this weekend I got to run my charity 10k., to see why I picked this specific race read my I’m Running for Mark post. Anyway on with the show. I ran this one alone, no one signed up with me and no ‘fans’ came with, to be honest I was ok with […]
For longer races (1/2 Marathons, Marathons) there is a lot of talk of cutting back or “tapering” on your training for a few weeks before the big day. For shorter races however I won’t do that so much I am taking it easy this week but mostly because I don’t want to do anything stupid right before a race. […]
The 10k Race is only 12 days away and I’m pushing to try to increase my speed. I have a few things working aginst me though. Months of distance training for my 1/2 marathon and hot humid runds. Blah! Anyway, as I was doing research the most consistant thing I saw for building speed were […]

I’m less than a week away from the race and I’m NERVOUS. I just spent a wonderful week with Mac and some friends on a cruise and it was amazing but I did gain a few pounds…hopefully not enough to notice while running. I made sure to run 4 times while we were gone but […]

This giveaway is closed 🙂 Do you remember a few weeks ago when I wrote the post Run Like a Girl? One of the questions I asked was “How do you keep your hair up?” Boy did I get a great answer, with a BondiBand! After the glowing recommendation from my friend Jaci at Those […]
So what is a Tempo Run anyway? I thought I knew when I did it last week but now I’m not so sure. I though it was running faster ie almost at your top pace…I was wrong turns out its running a bit slower…oops. Here is the definition: Sustained effort training runs, usually 30 to […]
First off just for fun I finaly got the results from my 7k! Although they are just based on my GPS time not my chip….aparently it was faulty 🙁 Plus they added a min + a few seconds to the time I submitted, bummer. Hope my next chip timmed race goes better. 9:38 per mile […]
