16 Miles

February 16, 2010

On Sunday I set a new personal distance record when I ran 16 miles.
It was a long ways. And it was painful.
I set out fine. It was a beautiful day in Kamloops and a very balmy 12 C (53 F). I even busted out my running capris. This kind of weather is unheard of [...]

After my post on Friday about needing new shoes I decided to stop at the two local running stores on my way home. One store had my shoes on for $189.99 and the other for $199.99. I don’t know WHAT I was [...]

Goodbye 2009 and Hello 2010

December 31, 2009

{Welcoming 2010 with open arms}
Happy New Years Eve everyone! How are you ringing in the New Year?
I can’t believe it’s almost 2010. I can still remember ringing in 2000 with my family, I was 11 years old and was estatic about staying up until midnight. Wow, the last decade has flown by.
I have to admit, even [...]

Being Present

November 5, 2009

I saw this post on Morning Runner yesterday and it got me thinking about why I run.
Since I’m not training for anything right now I am only running four times a week, logging about 15-20 miles. The runs are a bit shorter than normal, but I’m still out there running, and when I don’t run, [...]

Reminiscing on Running

October 9, 2009

1. Eric got here last night. I. AM. SO. HAPPY.
2. On Sunday, I am running my third half-marathon. Third. If you had told me, at this time last year, that I was going to run three half-marathons in the next year I’d laugh at you and be like, “are you kidding me? Do you know who you’re [...]
