To Rest or to Run?
by Run Girl Run
posted September 29, 2010 at 12:36pm
Every since I came down with my nasty sickness Sunday morning, I've been really unsure about how much time I need to recover. I still don't feel 100 percent. I have moments during the day when I feel great, but then other times when I feel crappy.
I'm pr...more

The idea actually was exciting. Yes, the thought of a track workout had me ready to go this morning. Heck, I was even OK with the thought of running on the track in the rain.

posted September 27, 2010 at 8:44pm
I have to admit something. I try to be positive most of the time, but some days riding a bike is like pulling teeth. It sucks. Plain and simple. I am sorry, Mom, I have no other way to put it. It just sucks.

When you are a professional athlete, people always ask if you will possibly consider coaching as a career choice. My answer is always no. Coaching isn’t really something I aspire to do on a full time basis. Do I know stuff? Yea. Could I share what I...more

Off the recovery couch thanks to WPS
by Byline to Finish Line
posted September 24, 2010 at 2:04pm
In the process of recovery week, there are moments of fighting of depression. In the midst of my crazy Ironman training, it was hard to imagine missing my two-a-day workouts and weekends which were lost in a haze of running, biking and working. I knew the...more

Guest post by Ken Krause, Life in the Fastpitch Lane blog
The sports culture is a funny thing. We praise the "toughness" of players who play through pain while dismissing as wimps those who come out of a game because they're hurting. Back in my day...more

Epic fail: Running at The Ridge
by Byline to Finish Line
posted September 22, 2010 at 2:15pm
The plan was to do a lot of swimming and maybe ride my bike. Recovery from an Ironman often means laying low for about two weeks to allow your body time to rebound not just from the race but from the months of training. All that pounding can add up and ...more

Next up: Too many choices
by Byline to Finish Line
posted September 21, 2010 at 2:13pm
Covering collegiate teams means getting to hear all kinds of music. And while it doesn’t always become my favorite, often the songs get stuck in my head, forcing me to fork over my money to iTunes so I can put the song in my rotation and either decide I...more

Wipe Out!
by Run Girl Run
posted September 9, 2010 at 4:02pm
Until this morning, I don't ever think I've totally bit it on a run. I'm talking tripped on the sidewalk and going flying, landing on my hands and knees and then proceeding to slide across the concrete on my stomach until all momentum stopped.

Cross-Training in Cowboy Boots
by Alison M. Starnes Blog
posted September 4, 2010 at 9:21am
You can’t just ride your bike every single day, or in my case, you can’t just think about riding your bike every day. We must mix it up, although this can cause slight panic attacks in cyclists. Believe me, I know. Must ride bike. Must ride bi...more

The importance of starting slow
by Run Girl Run
posted September 2, 2010 at 10:01am
One thing I'm slowly learning as I train for my races is the importance of starting a run nice and easy. It doesn't matter whether that run is supposed to be a tempo run, a long run or just and easy short run.
Easing into it makes it easier to stay stron...more
