Work

Completely unrelated to running but we finally have a real website for GRAZE. It’s only taken 3yrs since we opened the sandwich shop, we are super happy with the results and almost makes us look legit. Watch out “insert mediocre food chain here”. Now if only I could do something snazzy with this blog O’ […]

Get Skinny?

Ok let’s talk about a touchy subject. Weight. It seems to me if one was to take a poll nearly 95% of people would like to lose a few pounds at least. I would also wager that the majority of those folks would like to do it primarily for looks. The other day when I […]

Moving Forward

This week has brought sad news to a few people near and dear to me. Life is hard and unfair sometimes. Personally I think it is good and normal to get pissed off. We don’t always have to try to search for the silver lining; sometimes there isn’t one. Some people probably have their opinions […]

Tennis anyone?

I was super lucky to be invited to Whitman Wine and Tennis Camp. Four days or sixteen hours of nonstop tennis lessons. It was awesome!! I have never played tennis before. Like, never, ever. I think I’ve played less tennis than soccer. John Hein, the women’s Whitman tennis coach knows I’ve been very interested in […]

Ultra cray cray

Ok folks, the comments are awesome, let’s keep the the discussion going! Scott Jurek, aka The Jerker. The Vegan. The “sometimes you just do things” guy just came out with his first book, cleverly titled, Eat & Run. I quickly finished this book; it was lent to me. I maybe would have bought it but […]

Next race

I’m ready to start training again,I’m feeling great and healthy. The big question now is what race. Our local Tri-Cities small marathon the last week of October or the well known, CIM in Sacramento the first week of December. In an ideal word I would LOVE LOVE if just John and I could goto Sacto […]

This not that

I may have finally cracked on running advice. Maybe it’s just a phase. Don’t get me wrong I love running, reading about running, buying all things running related BUT I’m a bit tired of all the things one should and shouldn’t do to be a better runner. Wear these shoes. Eat this. Run with arms. […]

Home

We just returned from California and had a great trip despite the couple of days spent crammed into a minivan. Man I hate traffic. HATE! There is lots and lots of people in California, hence lots of traffic. Don’t miss that I can tell ya. But it was nice to know it would be sunny […]

Naked

Holy crap, who ever said to take one day of rest for every mile run was right! At least for me. Yesterday I ran 4 miles and today 6 blissfully quiet miles, no garmin, no music, no gu, no compression garb, no stupid shit. Just naked. Naked at church. It has been exactly 26 days. […]

Cross train

Well after the big scare and Eugene, oh and regular life I’ve been pretty wiped out. The other day I took a 1.45 min nap followed by another hour nap after eating a bowl of Cheerios. Romantic, no? Mothers Day I did my first triathlon. Totally last minute and you can tell im confused (unlike […]
