Junior Higher

Even though Tri-Cities is a less than desirable place to live (IMO) I hear it’s marathon is magic. Only an hour away. Start time of 8. On a paved trail along the Columbia River sounds decent to me. I’ve got to give this a whirl. Since I’m horrible (that is an under statement of the […]

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner

Sunday at the last minute I decided to sign up for our local half marathon. It’s less than 1/2 a mile from my house and I needed to test the waters for my long run. I figured I’d run at a decent pace but not go all out because I didn’t want to get hurt. […]

39 and Mighty Fine…except for the knee,that is.

I’m a Libra and love it. I turned 39 on the 27th and had a freaking amazing birthday! There is a trail a few friends have told me about just 50 minutes from our house. It’s not up in the mountains, per say…I consider Colorado to have mountains. This trail was more up the hill […]

Goals

Yeah let’s talk about goals…oh shoot me in the face Boston. Duh. Lets see how can I write this so all the dots connect in the end. Bear with me. Over a month ago I made a bet with my dad that we both had to go 21days no drinking. He was complain of having […]

Bonk dee dee Bonk

I guess I should fill in the blanks with where I am at in the running world. After Missoula I cut back to recover and seriously debated trying the Chelan marathon on September 7th in hopes to BQ for 2014. Wisely I resisted the urge and decided to put my efforts toward Tri-Cities marathon October […]

Race Report

I’m sitting on a plane headed to Colorado so a great time to finally do a race report…if I can remember the details it’s been so long. Ill put all the pictures at the end of the post because I’m on my iPhone and its just easier that way. Ok. Lets go. First things first. […]

63

Trying not to focus on the negative. 3:41:03 Missed Boston by 63 seconds. If only I didn’t dick around for 2 seconds per mile. 7th in AG tho. That floored me. I couldn’t drink that beer fast enough. Longer post to follow. Well that’s the intent anyway.

’twas the night before number four

We made it to Missoula in record time. The expo was tiny but quaint. Even got to meet Adam from The Boring Runner Adam, your blog is seriously hilarious! Keep it up! Hopefully we will meet up at the finish to chat a bit. Meanwhile I’m pretty tired and freaked out about the wake up […]

9 days

Marathon #4 in Missoula is just 9 days away. The high 100 plus heat has broken but the uv index is still pretty high. I tell you, the blaring sun is an endurance sucker. Big time. I can’t believe how tan I’ve gotten, by accident. My skin feels like its been stuck in the toaster […]

Whoops

The last post I accidental hit publish before intended but I meant every word about blogger burnout. Anyway this is a big week. My little Frank has her last day of daycare, preschool…whatever today! She will be a big kindergartner and ready to boss people around bigger than her. Little League and it’s cult like […]
