by Chic Runner
posted October 21, 2010 at 10:38pm
When Saturday morning hit I knew I wouldn’t be snuggling back into my bed until late Sunday night. It was really hard to get out of bed and get going but I was still very nervous about the weekend. First up was the kids run at the Aquarium of the Paci...more

Training makes me hungry...like all the time.
I eat breakfast and then two hours later my stomach is growling so I have a small snack and then thank goodness it's lunch time because my stomach is growling again. Then, surprise, surprise, two hours later ...more

by Run Girl Run
posted October 19, 2010 at 2:59pm
All summer long I run in the mornings, mainly out of a necessity to avoid the brutal heat.
Come fall, I don't have to run in the morning, in fact, sometimes I'll mix it up with a few afternoon runs, but the mornings are still my favorite.
There's just s...more

by Run Girl Run
posted October 18, 2010 at 5:41pm
Remember how I said I wanted to just take it easy during the Baltimore half? Go slow and enjoy the race?
Apparently when I try to go slow and enjoy the race I finish an extremely hilly course just 10 seconds slower than the PR I practically killed myself...more

Race report: Jensen Stables XC
by Byline to Finish Line
posted October 18, 2010 at 1:52pm
The tone of disgust was unmistakable. On all fours, scrambling up the side of an extremely muddy hill, climbing over fallen tree logs, the voice came from behind me.
“Is this a joke?”
On the inside, I smiled.
I would have smiled on the outside, but...more

by Byline to Finish Line
posted October 16, 2010 at 4:53pm
If Best Boyfriend Mark had been a female, he would have qualified for the Boston Marathon a long time ago. (Then again, that would have caused all sorts of issues for our relationship, but you understand the point.)
Instead, Mark needed to PR the maratho...more

With running, I'm always amazed how a weekend long run can feel so great and then a super short weekday run can be such torture.
My 17 miles on Saturday were awesome. It was smooth sailing for most of the run.
Last night's five miler was terrible. So te...more

The messages on her Facebook page announced it even before she did. My friend, Belinda, had qualified for Boston. Finally. She had tried numerous times. This was No. 7 or No. 8. Some marathons were close. Others were far off.

The story of Saturday's long run actually starts on Friday afternoon when I had a mini panic attack about running a marathon. It was the same old stuff that usually crops up:

The weekend started with an early morning long run. I joined up with Sue and the gang for some company. The first two miles were great then I peeled off from the group as they went on for a tempo run and hill repeats.
