Taper fun?

Posted on November 5, 2011 by Carrie

Somebody said on DailyMile (which, by the way, I highly recommend using if you’re into endurance athletics of any kind or level; it’s sort of like Facebook for runners/cyclists/swimmers/etc.) that if they were doing 16-mile long runs, taper wouldn’t drive … Continue reading →

Posted on February 1, 2010 by Carrie

This will be of no interest to 99% of you.

Posted on October 20, 2009 by Carrie

I’m awful with details. I’m a bad flyer, too, and in my likely state of freak-out as I take off on Saturday, it will be a very good idea to have nothing left up in the air that I could … Continue reading →

Needed…

Posted on April 30, 2009 by Carrie

Much of this weekend is better left undiscussed.

Posted on April 6, 2009 by Carrie

Ahem. Anybody read this, care to weigh in on it, etc.? Oh, Gabe… But Eric did get me a few things I needed and am looking forward to using. Heading into warmer weather, I just can’t make my men’s size … Continue reading →

On the road again…

Posted on March 16, 2009 by Carrie

I couldn’t stay inside yesterday – too pretty and warm outside, at about 50 degrees and sunny! So instead of hitting the gym, I “unstabled” Stockard for the first ride of the year. I rode for about an hour and … Continue reading →

Runners: Open Thread

Posted on March 14, 2009 by Carrie

It’s done! It’s in the can! My first “official” twenty-miler is on the books and completed! It took me just a minute over three hours to complete, reaffirming what last week’s run told me: I can do this entire marathon … Continue reading →

Runners: Open Thread

Posted on March 7, 2009 by Carrie

Otherwise entitled, “HOLY CRAP, I JUST RAN 19.75 MILES!” It may not be a full marathon yet, but you marathoners can probably remember the feeling of hitting this point for the first time, so I’ll brag with abandon. The extra … Continue reading →
