by Chic Runner
posted February 23, 2011 at 10:42am
So I put off my 16 miler off ALL weekend long and waited until yesterday morning to do it. Luckily, I dragged B along with me! He had done 10 miles with me before and though he is not a big fan of running, he likes doing it for a workout. He also has a ne...more

by Run Girl Run
posted February 23, 2011 at 12:07am
One of the best parts about training for and completing a race is the rest time that comes afterward. The two weeks post race are some of my favorite because they are so laid back.
I don't feel like I have to do a certain number of runs per week.

Working Out With Short Hair
by Run Girl Run
posted February 17, 2011 at 1:52pm
Nothing drives me crazier than having my hair hang in my face when I'm working out. With long hair, it's easy enough to slick it back into a ponytail to keep it out of the way.
When my hair was this long I never had a problem:
But now my hair is this...more

Joanna Zeiger: The Horribly Hilly (San Dieguito) Half
by Fast at Forty
posted February 14, 2011 at 11:06am
The start area is possibly the coldest place in San Diego. I was chilly! My original plan was to run the Palm Springs Half Marathon. It seemed like a good idea; I wanted to run a flat course and set a PR. Maybe even eke under 1:19. The logistics of getti...more

I guess it was time to take a break
by Endurance Meg
posted February 14, 2011 at 10:49am
February started with a bang. Actually, it started with rain, winds, ice, and snow. The snow wasn’t fun snow. It was the snow that has the texture of sugar, abrasive and hellacious. It’s the snow that you loathe if you’re a Nordic skier looking for ...more

posted February 11, 2011 at 11:38pm
Listening to NPR makes me feel smart, educated and well-informed. Often, I am none of those three things. But what matters is that I feel that way. At least enough to get by at a dinner party. Then again, I don’t go to dinner parties. But if I did, I co...more
