Waiting on a Sign

December 12, 2010

It’s like I’m waiting on a sign…waiting for it to blink and say “Your motivation has arrived”. Yeah, that’s not happening, so I’m back to talking myself into moving again. It’s not that I’m lazy, it’s just that I’m lazy. Okay – well, you see my problem now. Nah, actually – once I’m dressed and [...]

And So We Begin – AGAIN!

December 3, 2010

Woohoo! I got the go ahead from my doctor to start running again this week! (Was out with burned out adrenals, etc) I’m thrilled to finally be able to get moving again. My legs have spread like the marshmallow puff man from “Ghostbusters” – and I’ll be happy to find some semblance of muscle tone [...]

Sitting it Out a Few More Weeks

November 10, 2010

I have to sit it out a few more weeks. I asked my doctor yesterday if I could start running again. She smiled softly and told me I could walk for a few weeks, but no running until after my next run of blood work (almost 3 weeks away)!!!! I’m getting so antsy and told [...]

Running on Empty

October 22, 2010

You’ve heard the expression “Running on Empty” – apparently I’m quite literally “Running on Empty”. I got some blood work back from my latest doctor’s appointment and I’ve been put in a holding pattern for a bit. My body is truly running on empty right now and I need to address this before I can [...]

My First DNF – Wine and Dine Half Marathon

October 9, 2010

When I woke up with the shakes around 3am the first time I knew I was going to be in trouble. I figured by the time night rolled around, I’d be okay though….the night wasn’t what I expected and I have to report that I had my first DNF (did not finish) — but at [...]

More Running Books

September 13, 2010

I’ve been on a reading blitz of running books again. I tend to look to them for not only inspiration but motivation. I’ve been on and off my training schedule. I get some stuff in, then I slack. When I pick up a book and start reading about running, it makes me want to move. [...]

18 Miles on LBI

September 13, 2010

Here I was, just talking about choosing races and smaller distances. Funny how that happens…Let me back up for a moment. Earlier this year I started plotting out what my races would be next year, so I’d have them well spaced out to keep me motivated, and have enough to keep me going. One of [...]

Choosing Races

September 4, 2010

I ran 8 miles today. It took me a damn long time to do it. This being slow really takes a toll some days. Don’t get me wrong – it is what it is…I’m in no hurry to be fast, my body doing what it can, and I’m grateful that I was able to hang [...]
