...or, as others would call it, the Runner's World Holiday Run Streak. I did another run streak in the summer which spanned 38 days from Memorial Day to 4th of July. I was successful in running 36 out of the 38 days, 83 miles in total (average of 2.3 miles per day). This one is … Continue reading Streaking!

Tour of Central Illinois, and the end of the Run Streak
I'm back in Texas after a 10-day stay in Illinois. The last time I posted was the day before the visitation. I've rehashed the details of the following two days so many times in my mind that I honestly don't want to talk about it here. There are some things better left unsaid. I still … Continue reading Tour of Central Illinois, and the end of the Run Streak
Run Streak Week 1
Ok, dudes. I've been streaking every single day this week. Sounds like fun, right? I love this Runner's World Run Streak challenge.. run at least one mile every day starting Memorial Day and ending July 4th. I signed up for a 5K on July 4th before I knew I'd be doing the streak. I ran … Continue reading Run Streak Week 1
Silver & gold
Remember that little rhyme/song we learned when we were little? "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold." Well, maybe you didn't learn it, but I did. I kinda feel this way about running partners. I have to say I miss Gabi so so so soooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuch. Like, … Continue reading Silver & gold
April 20
This week has flown! I'm thankful because that means only two more weeks until Aaron comes home. I fell into my "single" married woman routine pretty fast. I've worked out a total of four days so far this week, which is three or four days more than I have been, and I've been more mindful … Continue reading April 20
“We are the battling bastards of Bataan”
"We are the battling bastards of Bataan, No mama, no papa, no Uncle Sam; No aunts, no uncles, no cousins, no nieces; No pills, no planes, no artillery pieces; And nobody gives a damn." I am in awe... of the event, the weather, the volunteers, the survivors who were present, the Wounded Warriors running or rucking... … Continue reading “We are the battling bastards of Bataan”
Bataan is on!!!
I was hesitant to sign up for this race, no lie. However, since I have the go-ahead from my cardiologist and the funds to pay for it, Bataan is on, people! I asked my awesome runner-Army-wife-kindred-spirit friend Natalie her advice on prepping for 26.2 in just six weeks. I ran 13.1 on January 14, finishing … Continue reading Bataan is on!!!
Race Recap — Ft. Bliss Half Marathon
Running in Texas ain't so bad, folks. Aaron and I ran the Ft. Bliss Half Marathon (13.1 miles). I was going into it pretty undertrained... I ran 8.6 miles on December 13, 11 on Sunday, and other than a few 3-5 mile runs I really wasn't racking up much mileage. I've been spinning two times … Continue reading Race Recap — Ft. Bliss Half Marathon
Race schedule bandwagon
I couldn't help but be motivated by all my running blogger friends who are posting about their 2012 race schedules. I have also been inspired to keep an actual running journal, though I will use the journal I have for more than just running. I want it to record so many things from 2012... feelings, … Continue reading Race schedule bandwagon
Work Out Wednesday and Adjusting Goals
I had a great workout today. My body was thanking me as my fat cells were crying for dear life. We're down to one car right now (maybe even semi-permanently) but it's not all bad. I reluctantly had the day off today, but Aaron worked a half day. So, I took him to work and … Continue reading Work Out Wednesday and Adjusting Goals
