I have really enjoyed linking up with the Tuesday on The Run Link Up! Each week I team up with a bunch of other great bloggers write about the same topic. And today’s topic is really appropriate for me. Yesterday, I was at the podiatrist’s office because of a sharp pain I keep getting in […]
Marathon Training Week 7 AND Review of Michelob 13.1 Dallas!
Well, this week did NOT turn out the way I had expected. There’s much to tell so I shall dive in. Sunday: on schedule – 30 minutes to one hour of cross training. I walked both dogs and it took about 25 minutes so we’re counting this one “good enough” Monday – rest day. (say […]

When You’ve Committed to a Race – And You’re Not Prepared
I feel like a bit of a fraud writing this post. You see, because I possess ZERO natural running talent, I have to train if I’m going to run a race. There’s just no two ways about it for me. So if I wasn’t able to train there would truly be only one choice: don’t […]
