There is one topic in sport that really doesn’t get much focus. Sure, there have been hundreds of discussions that focus on current athletes nutrition and eating disorders but what about those former athletes? How does a person who has been competing at...more

Pancakes. It’s a surefire way to capture my attention, although “ice cream” also has impressive properties over my sense of focus. Regular readers of my blog understand my adoration for pancakes. They are my reward for hard workouts, my celebration...more

First, let me start by saying that I used to be an average track fan.   Well, perhaps I was a bit above-average, but only because I knew a bit more than the things listed below.  But only a bit more. Second, I must give credit where credit...more

It felt as if an old friend was welcoming me back. Ah, the track. It was time for the two of us to play together again, to pick up the game of early-morning speed work. For the record, my first true track workout of the season was supposed to happen last...more

posted April 14, 2011 at 12:51pm

After a busy day of work yesterday, I was more than ready to head to the fitness center and kick my butt with some intervals. The fitness center where I live is free for residents, which is awesome, but the equipment isn't the best. It's very old and so...more

Signs of the first hot run of the season: 1. Completely flushed and sweaty face. 2. Swollen fingers that look like little sausages. 3. A giant post-run glass of chocolate milk that I guzzled half of before taking a picture. The first hot run of the...more

posted April 13, 2011 at 9:01pm

So I’m walking around at Lake Johnston, which has a lovely 5K circuit, getting ready to run. I like running Lake J because it has one mile flat, one mile hilly, and one mile I-may-die hilly. AND a fabulous 100-yard boardwalk across the lake finish. ...more

Twenty days ago, I was in LA at my childhood home, stuffing summer sleeping bags and borrowed pillows into my VW Camper Van, preparing for a four day trip in Arizona. My refrigerator was nice and cold, and my cupboard was filled with the basics for cook...more

Fuel for intervals

Do you know what drives me bananas? After I wait forever for my work computer to boot up and I'm finally connected to the VPN, I get a little pop up message that says updates have finished installing and I need to reboot the computer. Serrrrriously? Yes...more

Staying Positive

Injuries stink. There’s really no other way to put it. They force you away from something you love, something you have a passion for. We’ve all been there. For me, getting diagnosed with a calcaneous (heel bone) stress fracture about two weeks ago was...more

I spent the day at one of my favourite parks yesterday watching healthy people (no envy!) running in Ireland's largest 10k. Phoenix Park is the largest enclosed green space in any European city so it's the perfect place for a race, although I'm not sure w...more

Sipping my post-run chocolate milk, my curiosity got the best of me. Granted, I felt amazing after my 12 mile run, yet my brain was a bit skeptical. Since my Garmin wasn’t working, I had to rely on my knowledge and the running savvy of my friends to plo...more

My foot slipped as I eased out of my car at 5:30 in the morning. It was a crisp, but pleasant, morning, not bad at all for a run. Only problem was, this wasn’t just a run; it was a speed workout. The warmup jog revealed patches of black ice and the outd...more
