Marathon Madness – 2 days to go

The frenzy has started. The Half Marathon is less than 2 days away and I’m a little nervous. Kim and Annette will be here in the morning around 9:30 and then we are off to Memphis! I have no idea what top/tops to wear, one top or two, jacket or no jacket, [...]

Surrogate Kitty Mom

Okay, I have become a surrogate Mommy to the Kitty, the little fur ball is very addicting, when you pick him/her up the motor starts running (purring for all you non-cat people). So sweet and loving, it’s just like a little baby, without the dirty diapers or sleep deprivation. I can’t seem to [...]

Memphis Countdown – 3 days

Tuesday is my Running Clinic and it was Hill repeats, yuck, nobody likes hills and if they say they do, they’re lying. Since I’m doing the Half Marathon on Saturday I only had to do half the workout Tuesday night, lucky me. Our workout was our normal run down to our starting point [...]

Memphis Countdown – 5 days

On Saturday, Annette, Kim and myself will be running the St. Jude Memphis Half Marathon, that’s less than 5 days away. I’m trying not to think about it too much or I’ll get nervous and not be able to think, eat or sleep the entire week. So, I will just try and concentrate [...]

Saturday Training

Today was supposed to be the 10K Duck Race in Stuttgart, but Kim and I backed out last night, I really just didn’t want to do it and the weather forecast sealed the deal for me. Also, Annette was not going to be riding with me and Kim, so I decided if Kim didn’t [...]

Friday Fun

Okay people are crazy for getting out and shopping the day after Thanksgiving, lines are long, traffic is bad, people are cranky and sleep deprived, but the sales are stupendous! I couldn’t resist! It’s also a day to get out with your friends and have a good time and that’s what I did. [...]

Thankful Thursday

Kim and I did not get to run on Wednesday, we received the rain that was fore-casted right around the time we had planned to run, awww, too bad. But, this also meant the cold front was coming in and OH MY did it!
On Thursday morning I met Kim and Annette in Cabot along [...]

Blah Tuesday

Once again I didn’t want to run. On Tuesday I go to my running clinic which is already planned out before I get there, I’m in the intermediate group and I knew what was ahead and I didn’t want to go, it was not a hard workout, I just didn’t want to run again! [...]

Marathon Countdown

Well, it’s actually only half of a marathon and I’m getting a little nervous. Thirteen miles is nothing when you’re driving, but when you’re running, that’s another story, and since I injured my ankle in September my training has not gotten me anywhere near 13 miles (8 max mileage so far). I have [...]

Saturday Marathon Training

Since all my regular running buddies are off at the Tulsa Route 66 Marathon or 1/2 Marathon I was on my own for running today. I called LeAnn, my neighbor and running buddy too, but she can’t get out and run as much as she would like, but she wanted to run this morning [...]
