Rebirth

March 26, 2012

For some reason I’ve been thinking a lot about last Spring.  Last Spring, I was in tears, counting down to the end of Kindergarten.  This Spring, I never, ever want first grade to end.  I’m dreading finding out who Michael’s second grade teacher is because no one could ever be as good as his first [...]

Still Running

February 9, 2012

I've been a little quiet about the running lately, because well, I haven't been running as much as I would like.  I've been doing a wonderful exercise class called Cage Fitness at the same time Michael takes karate, but I still had this goal in mind of running a 10k.  And there is this race [...]

Resolutions

January 2, 2012

I've never been a huge New Year's resolution person.  I tend to make random changes whenever.  Like 2 years ago on a random Monday I declared I was done with diet soda and I was.  (It was a bit more complicated than that, it was giving me terrible headaches, but it really was a random [...]

10ks and Other Craziness

December 22, 2011

When I was writing about my hypothetical life list, I mentioned the possibility of maybe running more than a 5k.  But here is the thing,  I never thought I would actually run more than a 5k.  To be honest I can barely run a 5k. Yesterday Melanie tweeted about Pike's Peek 10k, and I remembered [...]

Why Running Is Like Writing

December 5, 2011

I ran my second 5k this weekend, and while it was not everything I hoped it would be, I still RAN MY SECOND 5K THIS WEEKEND.  That sentence in and off itself is kind of surreal.  I'm not a natural runner. There are people whose bodies are "born to run" and who "crave the run" [...]

Accomplishment

November 7, 2011

I have spent pretty much my entire adult life working out.  I have tried every exercise craze at least once; step, boot camp, kick boxing, that thing where you slid around the floor, if they offered it I have done it. Right now I am doing cage fitness.  And running.   I ran my first [...]

In Which Doug Was Right

October 3, 2011

I took up running a year and a half ago, and it has been a love and hate relationship.  I go through times when I like to run a lot, and I go through times when I dread it with ever fiber of my being.  But lately I've being running again, fairly regularly, and I [...]

Running Pro Tip

August 17, 2011

I have been running on and off for over a year now, and while I am certainly no marathoner, I have learned one very important thing.  Do not, under any circumstances, put on your oldest, crummiest pair of shorts and go for a run down a busy street during a busy time of day. Especially [...]

Me, Some More

April 14, 2011

Notice a theme this week? Last spring I was running, a lot.  And I while I loved the way I looked, I never fell in love with running, like so many of my friends had.  And this winter I let it fall by the wayside.  Like so much else in my life.  Like returning phone [...]

Obsession

August 25, 2010

I've been running everyday on vacation.  I'm not sure who I am either, but whenever people tell me I have become a runner I always look at them and say, "no, I'm not a runner, I'm too slow.  I'm not good at running.  I just run.  I'm not a runner." I do that sometimes.  A [...]
