It’s the evening before my first half marathon. I’m hiding out at my fairy godmother’s house. Finding my moment of zen. Relaxing before running the longest distance I’ve ever run. I’m truly charmed by all the well wishes and support I’ve received in the last 48 hours. Thank you. The texts, emails, conversations [...] March 5k results posted today! Finally! Fish Fry 5k in Omaha, Nebraska March 31, 2012 Official time: 29:24 Overall: 76 Number of Finishers: 152 Number of Females: 96 Number of Males: 56 Average Time: 30:48 Confession: I wasn’t sure how this race was going to turn out. I had returned from my trip [...] (In case you missed it, I am running 12 5ks in 2012, yo. Yea, I don’t know why either.)
Introducing my March 5k: The Fish Fry 5k in Omaha, Nebraska, this Friday, March 30. I am not sure what to think. Let’s discuss, shall we? Fried fish and beer after [...] Confession: Most of the time I think running is gross. Once in awhile it DOES feel fun. That is what I am chasing. That runner’s high. I don’t know that I’ll ever get it, like my friends who can run marathons, half marys or play an afternoon of rec soccer. But after years of [...] February 5k complete! Only 10 more to go … The Frozen Foot 5k, hosted by the CU Triathlon Team, was a great event and a great cause. I was especially psyched because instead of the run-of-the-mill logo-laden T-shirt one usually gets, the Frozen Foot runners received gloves. Heck yes. Since I work at [...] source I feel like a rhino. I want to be a gazelle. Nothing against rhinos. Heck, they probably run really fast (faster than me but probably not faster than a gazelle). I’m just saying that when I run, I feel like this lumbering, thundering mass of human huffing and puffing and sweating. [...] And … we’re off! The Quaker Oatmeal 5k in Lafayette was a nice little event. A good way to kick off my goal of running a 5k every month in 2012. I was super nervous because this 5k would set the baseline for the other 5ks to come this year. I honestly didn’t [...] In 2012, I’ve decided to run a 5k every month in pursuit of simply a faster 5k. No big deal.
source Event: Lafayette Quaker Oatmeal Festival and 5k Walk/Run Date: Saturday, January 14, 2012 I chose to run this 5k because, well, I’ve heard about it before. [...] Calendar from Domestica, a very cool shop in Des Moines, Iowa
How do you feel about New Year’s Resolutions? During the last few years, I didn’t make resolutions; I made to-do lists. And I’ve kicked each one off on my birthday in April ever since my 30th year on God’s [...] Remember when I signed on to run the Living History Farms race in Iowa? Alas, it was not meant to be. Once again, my well orchestrated plans went to hell in a handbasket days before the race, but this time I took the path of least resistance and decided to opt out. Which admittedly [...]  |
