I got my blogger gift in the mail today! I’m so on top of it. Today I went to the Y and took a spinning class for an hour. It consisted pretty much of intervals. The instructor didn’t have us out of the saddle once. My ass was getting pretty dang sore. Class ended and […]

When I first started running 8 years ago I was fitted for shoes back in Sacramento at Fleet Feet. I went with the Asics Kayano; the shoe seemed just fine. Hell what did I know, I’d never worn any kind of athletic shoe since the days of my Strawberry Shortcake shoes when I was 5 […]

Seriously, how do you guys do it? You super awesome blogger runners out there? Every time I write a blog post I think, “Wow it has been a long time since I last posted and the quality is fairly superficial.” So thank you for giving me something enjoyable and helpful to read! It is appreciated […]

Running in this is just horrid. Then I’m forced to eat this junk.

I can’t wait for the Secret Santa blogger gift this year! Jill organized and designed the swap last year and it was my favorite gift! My blog has just recently turned into a “running blog” and already feel so welcomed in the blog-o-sphere. So go check HER OUT! Oh look another marathon pitcure; how’d that […]

For lack of time here a just a few pictures of where I run. And a quote to keep ya all going or even harder the will to start!

Two weekends after PDX marathon, myself and some gal pals decided to do a half marathon in Umatilla. It was completely a last minute idea, and a brilliant one! Umatilla is one the least appealing places in the U.S.A. but the temptation to sorta- kinda redeem myself from PDX was too overwhelming to pass up. […]

In PDX everything came full circle. Leslie and I did our first 5k ever in San Fransisco during the Nike marathon, just 6 months after Sam was born (notice extra large up top). The only goal was to not stop. We thought we were gonna DIE! I think our time was just a bit over […]

26.2

Well all the build up, and believe me there was plenty, I’m now a Marathoner. It took me 4:12 I’m happy I finished and finished strong but I’m not super pleased with my time. I went into this marathon thinking sub 4 was in the bag and when I got there I just didn’t have […]

I got my stolen bike back. Funny I kinda had a feeling it would come back. The guys at Allegro called me and said some nice older lady brought it in for a tune up. Apparently her granddaughter “bought” it at a garage sale. The Allegro guys told her it may be my bike and […]
