Bad Attitude

Sunday was my second real long run. According to my original plan I was supposed to do 17 but since I’m all screwed up now because of my shin I decided to do 15 and one half. It went ok. We did just under a 9 min mile pace. My legs felt so heavy it […]

A full week

Good Ole Uncle Ted came to visit from Colorado this week. We had great time albeit busier than normal with the opening of the drive thru, but it went really well. The actual physical part of opening isn’t as tiring as the mental aspect of trying to get all the stars aligned. We (Zac and […]

Tri-Cities half marathon

A new pr for me. 1:46:11 6th in AG Not too bad! Felt pretty good the entire time, negative split. The last 3 miles there were pretty strong head winds. I was pushing for 1:45 but just barely missed it. Actually I did pretty awesome! Niki PRed too and 6th in her AG as well […]

I love my therapist

One night in Seattle was awesome. We felt extremly flattered to have been invited to an event where we rubbed shoulders with some of Who’s Who in Seattle, but this is a running blog not a stroke your ego work blog. Just needed a quick shameless plug. Since we were in Seattle I was able […]

A whole lotta nuthin

It’s been almost a week since I’ve had a proper run. Last Thursday’s tempo was an awesome 7 miles, well except for the ache in my shin area. Friday I went to my doctor (who is awesome and happens to be a triathlete) He did an xray but thankfully did not appear to be a […]

Rest in Peace

What a community; as much as this island makes me want to claw my eyes out sometimes, I remain astounded by the goodness in people here. I was only able to run 3 miles because my son had a soccer game so I quickly turned and parted from the group. I have to say, I […]

Stupid Shin

I’m pretty sure it all started from the two left shoe debacle and I had to use these fancy minimal shoes. But my left shin has not been the same since. I don’t believe it is from over training and/or burnout. I think it is from using improper shoes for the wrong amount of mileage. […]

California

Maybe it’s the foggy weather. Maybe it’s over training. Oh… maybe it’s me?! No. Can’t be the voices. Or can it? No. Clearly it’s the weather. I think I’m in need of some sunshine. Actually what would be real spectacular is if I could leave this island! Ah. I feel so trapped. Like the movie […]

Tagged!

Oh God, I’m panicked. Michelle tagged me to post about eleven random things. Ok, ok, I’ll talk about myself. Never done this before so I am told the rules are as follows: 1. List eleven random things about yourself. 2. answer the questions from the person that tagged you. 3. Make up your own questions and […]

Memories

January is always a bittersweet month. As I experience more of life I realize there will continue to be the good and the bad, sadly it’s inevitable. It’s how one handles it. Like I tell my kids, “Your choosing your outcome based on your behavior.” I’ll be dammed if I let the bad win. Where […]
