by My so-called FABULOUS life: Brianna Glenn
posted January 4, 2011 at 10:09pm
I got some strange advice today. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it made a whole lot of sense. Right now I'm working with a certain level of ability but if you asked me if I thought that ability was being maximized, I'd tell you abs...more

by Run Girl Run
posted January 4, 2011 at 11:42am

Delusions of Grandeur
I started participating in duathlons two years ago, at 45 years old. I'm not a very fast runner, but I'm a half way decent cyclist, and end up doing okay. In fact, I've won an award at every duathlon I've competed in so far....more

A new training cycle begins
by Run Girl Run
posted December 20, 2010 at 2:32pm
Nothing rings in a new training cycle like my alarm blaring at 4:30 a.m. on a Monday morning.
Lucky for me I only had four miles on the training schedule and it wasn't too freezing cold outside. After about a mile I had warmed up rather comfortably.

Life: A reflection
by Byline to Finish Line
posted December 20, 2010 at 2:25pm
All week, my workouts were bound to the treadmill. And frankly, it didn’t feel like it was going so well.

The workout that failed
by Byline to Finish Line
posted December 15, 2010 at 8:22am
It was a difficult run. It was bound to happen. After all, my workouts had been going so well, my races were personal bests every time I stepped to the starting line, that I needed some karmic reminder that training for a half marathon is hard work.

Spending the better part of my graduate school days around the culture of cheerleading, the movie Bring It On is seared into my brain.

Why a TV marathon is not a real marathon
by Sarah Stanley Inspired
posted December 8, 2010 at 8:39pm
I don’t own a TV and if I am around one, I don’t watch much. I’m either running or sleeping. I get my entertainment from social media. And laughing at myself.
I have watched a few episodes of a certain show called The Biggest Loser. In fact I wro...more

Remember how I wanted to take a week off after my marathon to let me legs rest and to give myself a mental break from constant training?

Is there a difference between hurt and injured?
One of the hardest things in this game is knowing, as a softball coach, where the line is between a player being hurt and a player being injured. The longer I’m around this game, and the more amazing yo...more

Snow day

posted December 4, 2010 at 12:54pm
Some days, it’s about listening to your body. Some days, it’s not about the plan, it’s about using your wisdom.

Does snow shoveling count as strength training?
I’d like to think so.
