by Chic Runner
posted August 6, 2009 at 4:17pm
So I have to tell you all about something. It’s rather exciting and this isn’t even my big news which will probably be revealed on Monday, but this could rival that. Anyways, a good friend of mine, Sam, started up Operation Jack. Sam decided to run 60...more

by Chic Runner
posted August 4, 2009 at 2:47pm

This past weekend I ran in a very small 5k at Angels Stadium. The Angels are my ‘team’ so I was pretty excited about this race because I heard we ran through Angels Stadium. Now, I didn’t know exactly what the course entailed, and there was no cours...more

Almost is not good enough...
by I Run - Therefore I Blog
posted August 2, 2009 at 6:48pm
Then NM 2009 is over. I tried to pace Ingvill for as long as possible in the 1500m today. I did what I could but still that wasn't good enough to make the B-standard for the Worlds (4.09.00). With 4.09.62 and 4.09.96 earlier she's been close. Now she ran ...more

posted August 1, 2009 at 6:04pm
Good friends at NM. Me and Lisbeth!Ah what a race in the 800m final! Ingeborg went out hard and I had more than enough to keep up with the girls. I guess the first 200m in very quick pace made me sort never get in to the rhythm. They went through at 62 an...more

by Chic Runner
posted July 31, 2009 at 5:56pm
So ever since I started posting the videos from my races, people love to see myself making an idiot of myself. I mean, in pictures, you can’t really tell that I might be doing something dumb, but videos just prove it all to be true. This past weekend ...more

Ode to the Trance
by Endurance Meg
posted July 30, 2009 at 4:11pm
Years ago, when I was in high school, my life was endurance sports. I ate, trained, and slept cross-country (...I suppose I can't say much has changed). I wanted to be the best on my team, the best in the league, and the best in the state. My parents enco...more

I sit here and write you as I’m looking at my gorgeously bronzed arm. As my eyes travel upward, I’m disappointed to see a HUGE white line where my t-shirt was last weekend. Farmers tan is just cramping my style. Anyways, So I mentioned earlier that my...more

by Chic Runner
posted July 22, 2009 at 6:39pm
Perhaps that title is a little harsh, BUT, hear me out. This is my opinion and my blog so therefore I am allowed to say whatever I want and I definitely have much to say about ‘bicyclists’. Now, personally, I’m not one to hop on a bike and get my da...more

Better control

posted July 17, 2009 at 1:36pm
It took me years from when I started running until I got my first stop watch with splits. Not that it really mattered, but sometimes I guess it would have been good to know the pace I was running in... Then it took another "century" until I got my first ...more

Have you heard about the track meet in Heusden where "everybody" runs fast and pb's are almost taken for granted? Maybe you are thinking of the track meet in Rieti in September where "everybody" runs so fast that bad rumors say the track must be too short...more

posted July 16, 2009 at 9:23pm
If you search Marin Headlands trail map or Mt. Tam trail maps, you're likely to find some useful, yet not entirely perfect trail pdfs. My favorite is the Marin Headlands map that is missing distances for half of the trails they have marked. While these ar...more
