Finding gratitude
by Byline to Finish Line
posted April 14, 2010 at 10:08am
My legs felt heavy, like they weren’t quite turning over fast enough for a light jog let alone for a sprint. Of course, part of that was my fault — I ran the first two 1,000-meter intervals way too fast. That wasn’t the plan. I’m still learning th...more

posted April 13, 2010 at 10:03am
Sometimes after races I don't know if it's best to let me legs rest for an entire day or go out for an easy recovery run. Usually I go with rest and go for that recovery run two days out, but last night the weather was so gorgeous that I wanted to be outs...more

Relearning to trust my legs
by Stephanie Perleberg: Believe and Run On!
posted April 11, 2010 at 2:02pm
I guess between seasons it is very easy for me to forget that my legs really know what they were put on the track to do. I should always trust them, because more often then not, they pull through for me. The unfortunate thing is that when I get to races m...more

by Byline to Finish Line

This is familiar – me, lying on my couch with my feet up, water nearby and reruns of Beverly Hills 90210 on the television while I nap.
Welcome to post-long run recovery.

Number 14 in the nation...
by I Run - Therefore I Blog
posted April 7, 2010 at 6:45pm
Yes, I would have placed something like 14th in the Masters All Time list in Norway if I had raced a 200m now, and finished around the times I did today in my 10x200m session... Funny, hah?
