Remember the Malibu Marathon? What made it work…
by Chic Runner
posted March 17, 2010 at 10:13am
So back in November I ran the inaugural Malibu Marathon. It took me a while, but I really wanted to give a recap of the race from a ‘race’ perspective, instead of from a participants perspective. I think being an inaugural race is tough, you don’t k...more

The WNIT, sprint intervals and self interest
by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 16, 2010 at 8:25pm
The good news: There was no time to fully comprehend the plan for my speed workout this morning.
The bad news: It was because the west-coast based WNIT committee waited until 11:30 p.m. Eastern Time to release its 64-team field and announce that St. Bona...more

Welcome back weekend long runs
by Run Girl Run
posted March 15, 2010 at 9:14pm
Oh weekend long runs, how I have missed you.
During the winter months I never do weekend long runs. Winter is when I hibernate for three long, cold months and do shorter workouts during the week and almost nothing on the weekends. It is after all, the o...more

The long weekend run: Leaving the watch behind
by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 14, 2010 at 9:52pm
It was the very end of the 12-mile run, in the cold, gray and wind and the only thing between me and the delectable electrolyte replacement mixed beverage in my car was the climb out of Chestnut Ridge Park.
It would have been so easy to walk. Really. It ...more

I've had a few sessions with my new Nike LunaRacer+2. I like the shoes, but I must admit I expected more. It might come wit...more

it’s been asked constantly… BOOTY SHORT TIME!
by Chic Runner
posted March 11, 2010 at 5:04pm
Many people ask me about the shorts I wear when I race. They are normally a blend of spandex and another stretchy material, which I have found over the past year works best for racing. If you get complete spandex shorts, expect them to ride up. As in you ...more

The anatomy of a Long Run
by Chic Runner
posted March 10, 2010 at 8:29pm
So I was thinking on my last long run before the LA Marathon this past weekend, how do I break down these training runs? I thought it might be interesting to some (maybe none?) to let you inside how I get through the long run and what I’m thinking about...more

Running Again
by Run Girl Run
posted March 9, 2010 at 9:29pm
Praise the running gods! I ran five (very slow) miles yesterday with almost no hip and knee pain. Alleluia!!!
It was glorious. The weather was in the mid-50's. I ran in shorts and a tank top outside for the first time in months and probably should have ...more

The key to surviving interval runs
by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 9, 2010 at 9:56am
Welcome to the fourth week of interval runs. Sometimes known as track workouts, these are the workouts which are painful. They are speed workouts. They are repetition. They, quite frankly, cause me to feel like losing the toast I ate for breakfast while m...more

This weekend I really wanted to get in a 20 miler in preparation for the LA marathon which is two weeks away. I had been pumping myself up all week because I hadn’t had a great long run in a long time. I always started feeling really tired and sluggish ...more

Shamrock 8K: Focus Ninja
by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 7, 2010 at 12:13pm
Drama happens.
For me in 2010, it seems to happen mostly on race mornings. I’m sure there is some message the universe is trying to send me through this. I just haven’t quite figured out what that is yet.
We all end up with drama in our days from ti...more

Playing big with my tribe
by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 4, 2010 at 11:00pm
My assignment was to write a story about women who took up competitive sports later in life — women who didn’t play in high school or college but in their 30s or beyond started to compete athletically.
That brought me to Sue. We sat down to chat abou...more

Running by Feel
by Chic Runner
posted March 3, 2010 at 6:30pm
A while back I posted a picture I took at the Surf City Half Marathon of a Blind Runner and their ‘guide dog’. I got a lot of comments about how inspiring it was and I have to say it was truly inspiring to me too. I think that seeing people overcome s...more

Little did I know about this winter, when I in December was longing for warm weather training in January. I read in the newspaper this morning that Oslo hasn't had temperatures above zero celsius (32F) since December 12... It's been quite miserable to be...more

I just registered for the inaugural Rev3 Half in Knoxville, Tennessee. I haven’t been to Knoxville since my senior year of high school (that’s 9 years ago! Holy cripes). My neighbors growing up in the small town or Erie, Michigan, moved the...more

So this weekend I woke up Saturday morning and heard it pouring rain. Not just pitter patter, little drizzle here and there. No, this rain was like down-pouring going to flood the area my car was parked rain. Again. I seriously haven’t ever seen it rain...more

Lungs: Meet Fresh Air
by Run Girl Run
posted March 1, 2010 at 8:33pm
Yesterday was the first time I've run outside in about two months. I've spent a depressing two months running on treadmills because it was either too dark, too cold or the sidewalks were covered in snow.
Yesterday it was time to fix that. The temps had ...more

A confluence of events knocked me out on Sunday. Holed up in a dark bedroom, my body and mind needed a rest day. No workout. No work. Nothing except rest and time to reflect on a busy week and a weekend filled with tracking and volunteering at the Beast o...more

Flashy (and glittery) ProGrid Omni 8s
I’ll admit it; I fell behind a bit in training. I lost motivation to get out and cross country ski. I have been staying up late (well, until 11pm or so) and waking up late (7am), and haven’t been hitting the gy...more
