It’s Day 29 of the 30 days of 5K’s challenge and I really should wait to write this until tomorrow after I’ve ACTUALLY completed the entire thing, but tomorrow’s Sunday, and as my domain name suggests, I work all day Sunday so you’re getting it today. Really hoping I’m not jinxing myself! If you want …
I never ran under a coach. Never. Well, unless you count when I “ran” the mile in PE and the coach was yelling at me the whole time to stop walking and chatting with my friends and finish already. But that was, truly, the extent of my running supervision. I hated running, I hated sweating …
A while back I asked my friend, Laura, who lives in Houston, to share her tips for training in the summer. She’s my “go to” on this subject since the climate where she is can be even warmer and more humid than Dallas, and she’s done it successfully for several years. Enjoy!! And thanks, Laura!! …

So I wasn’t going to write today but sometimes words just beg to get out of me and so here I sit, next to the beautiful roses my husband gave me and wearing the gorgeous bracelet my boys presented me with this morning. I’ve been thinking about my kids all day (typical of us moms, …
So, I was trying to find some expert advice to advise, encourage or otherwise justify the nutty task I’ve undertaken this month of running a 5K every day. I know how I feel and what it’s done to me, but figured I’d try and find some expert articles or encouragement or something. Have you ever …
It’s been a very busy (for me) running season. It really started last October when I ran Chicago, then I had the WDW Marathon in January, the Princess Half Marathon in February, and just last Saturday, the GE Irving Half Marathon. So that’s a lot of big goals in only 6 months and a lot …
