Hi Everyone! Well this past weekend was finally an ok one for running! Yes, there were still patches of ice/puddles, but we’re coming through and running is already so much more enjoyable than it has been. Thank goodness because I was kind of forgetting that I even liked running! Now I’ve had a few days […]
Hi Everyone! HUGE congrats to all who ran the very Chilly Chilly Half this Sunday! Brianna (PB and 3rd in AG), Erin, Colette (PB), Lori (PB), Leigh Anne (PB), Carol, Annick, Avia, Meagan, Fran, Anna and Jason. I saw many pictures of this crew together before and after the race, and it just warmed my […]
Hey Gang! What can I say – it’s been another challenging week for running. I’ve joined the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” camp and been trading in my running days for cross country skiing and gym classes. I know many of you have been valiantly training through all this – huge respect. Whatever […]
Hi Everyone! Huge congrats to Cheryl who ran the Palm Desert Half marathon and finished 3rd in her age group and was top 25 in the overall women! And this was a process/training-through race for her next one. Great job! As for the rest of us … well, we’ve been doing what we can in […]
Hi Everyone! Way to go everyone who is still getting out there and doing the best they can in these winter conditions. Just be extra careful when the footing is rough and slippery. A snowy kilometer is a lot harder on the body than a dry, clear kilometer, so just slow down and try to […]
Hi Everyone! Hope you all survived the deep freeze on the weekend and the icy conditions. This weather is definitely testing our love and resolve for running. Do what you need to do to feel good – take a day or two off, run on the treadmill, cross-train, go shorter, … there are no rules […]
Hey All! Huge congrats to Sam Farrell who ran the Clearwater Half in Florida and came 3rd in her age group! Very solid for this time of year when most of us are solidly in base training mode. As a lifelong runner who has endured my fair share of ups and downs in terms of […]
Hi Everyone! Back to Polar Vortexes here. Just slow your paces, wear lots of clothing, careful of footing, shorten your outings, but try to keep getting out. I don’t say this just for training, but also to help gird us through a tough couple of months. Remember: you don’t have to be in a great […]
Hey Everyone! I was so impressed with how many people showed up last Wednesday with the temps in the negative teens. It will be a bit warmer tomorrow (not warm!), but now we know we can do it! Way to go all. This past week I’ve been feeling tired. I’m not sure why. […]
Hi Everyone! Ah, hope everyone is getting settled and back into their routines. I know, it’s flippin’ freezing out, BUT the days are getting longer and sunnier every day! Small wins. Many people are taking this time to dig in to new plans and start working towards exciting running goals. I love that. I […]
