This will have to count for a Race Day post. Our team is #22 and the wave starts at 7:02am. Yeah, what's with the 2 min wave increments? Weather? The good news: no 30mph wind gusts like the last time I ran this course. The bad: rain. Remember when I said I knew I would... Continue Reading →
Oct 15 – 8 mile trail run
It's been a long time since I got to start my Sunday like this: Next weekend, in my final race for the season, I will be anchoring a relay team at the She Rox triathlon. Eve is swimming, Renee will bike and I will run. It's on the same course that I've run twice now... Continue Reading →
She Runs 5K trail run
Turning this into the All Sports blog...(for now)....on Saturday morning after our Friday Night Lights fun, I ran a 5k trail race. It was a wee bit warm. And it was out east where it is...well..warmer! San Diego cannot seem to shake off this hotter than normal summer. August and September have been varying stages... Continue Reading →
More Snapshots
And now, the rest of the weekend in pictures to limit my writing time 🙂 I finished in 31:25 and 15 finished in 25:08. The best part was the ramp entrance into the stadium at the end. It was a perfect downhill and it totally shot you into sprint mode no matter how tired you... Continue Reading →
Snapshots
Where I was yesterday: And now, where I will be tomorrow: We are all hoping for a no-barfing-on-the-stadium-turf race from Alex 🙂 Really don' t need to see that on the jumbotron! Of course, since we start running at the same time, I wont have to worry about seeing that as he will finish close... Continue Reading →
Why I still love to walk and don’t really love running – a confession.
Yes, I am a runner now - as of just over a year ago - but for my first 46 years...ok...maybe I shouldn't count those first couple eh?...my favorite mode of exercise was walking. I could walk forever. A few times I even walked 60 miles over 3 days 🙂 Mostly though, I walked or... Continue Reading →
Chillaxin’
I know, I've gone from writing every day in the Merry Month of May to maybe thinking about this place once a week 🙂 What can I say? I wrote my fingers off last month. That was a lot of output. June has been about more input. Researching a new business website topic. Going back... Continue Reading →
Sunday Nap Fail
I've shared before that my version of a Perfect Sunday includes a nice cat nap on the sofa with a baseball game on the TV. Today was ripe for just such an event. Up at 5:30 in order to be alert, dressed and having eaten something to get me through a long run. I met... Continue Reading →
May 27th – Cranky Toes and Testing
Starting off with the beauty since the rest of the day was pretty lacking in it. Ok, not entirely true, the beach I whizzed by in the car on the way to and from work was pretty darn gorgeous but there was no chance to stop and take a photo. The jacaranda tree is the... Continue Reading →
May 26th – My writing writing writing motivation
But first.... The *plan* today was to lounge as usual during Uppers, then run on the 56 trail avoiding the extreme hills for a change, then shower, then start writing, then eventually head over E & R's place for afternoon working and dinner. That latter bit didn't quite happen, but I did have a really... Continue Reading →
