Today’s run was unpleasant. Yes, Gordon is probably gritting his teeth to hear me say that, so I should clarify: the run itself wasn’t to blame. I was happy as anything to be a runner, doing my runnery thing. The world, on the other hand, seemed quite piqued at my decision to [...]

So glad to have Eric home, finally. Even when he’s at work, unreachable and in meetings, just knowing that he’s here in the same town with us, only a mile away, takes a ton of weight off my shoulders and makes me feel whole again.
On the other hand, it feels weird today [...]

Okay, figured out now. I’ll be using this training schedule, with some slight adaptations, for the 50K in July. It accommodates the Mount Pleasant Half, Green Bay, and Lighthouse pretty well, which saves me some headaches. My only reservation is the initial brevity of the midweek runs and the early weekly mileage [...]

I’m awesome. Several months ago, when I was planning out my running and racing schedule for the future, I examined several 50K training schedules before selecting one that looked pretty good to me. On a piece of paper, I sketched down the back-to-back Saturday and Sunday distances for the plan, figuring [...]

Huh. Maybe I am that lucky. Sam didn’t throw up last night, and he continues to feel healthy. I, on the other hand, spent a good portion of this afternoon lying on my stomach in an effort to quell spasms (they thankfully dissipated as mysteriously as they came), and Gabe just came [...]

Prepare for TMI.
So, on Thursday night, I found myself violently ill. In a useless surge of optimism, I convinced myself it was food poisoning. You see, if it was something I ate, then I alone was likely to be affected, as everybody else in the family seemed just fine. The [...]

I took an “unscheduled” rest day from running (”unscheduled” because I haven’t started my formal training plan for Devil’s Lake yet); I’ve been very slowly amping up the mileage for the past several weeks, for no particular reason except that I felt like it, and after kissing fifty miles per week for the past three, [...]

So yesterday I went out on a long run, looking like I was ready for a LONG run. You see, Eric got me the Ultimate Direction Wink hydration pack for Christmas, and I haven’t used it yet! I feel sort of silly gearing up with more than a hand bottle for [...]

SO grumpy yesterday, but I think a big chunk of it was that Thursdays just stick out like a sore thumb for me. Gabe’s not in school, sometimes I have MOPS but sometimes I don’t, it’s a no-running day…I just never have any sort of habitual expectations for the day, so I feel off-balance. [...]
