Pinnacle Mountain – 12 miler

I was not looking forward to our Pinnacle Mountain run today, we ran this same route about 4 weeks ago and I was miserable, just some girl troubles, stomach troubles, just a bad run. And last year Kim and I ran a 20 miler on this same route on the hottest day of the [...]

No Choice

Yesterday was 2 months to the day of my big “lay off” and what happens?  I get a phone call from my former supervisor telling me that the VP wants to talk to me about a possible position in the LR branch office, she was not certain of the details but wanted me to call [...]

River Market Long Run

Yesterday was our customary Saturday long run with the Little Rock Marathon Training Group, we were lucky this week to be at the River Market. It’s been awhile since we’ve been downtown and I was grateful for new scenery, at least until around mile 6.
I picked up Tammy at her pad around 5:40 and [...]

July Cool Front

I don’t know where it came from but yesterday afternoon the clouds rolled in and we were blessed with rain and then a cool front, in July, in Arkansas!  As I watched the forecast yesterday I was shocked to learn it would be a cool 75 degrees this morning and 65 on Saturday morning, YIPPEE!!
Don’t [...]

Oops!! Part two.

After our run on Saturday morning we headed to Tammy’s, dropped her off and then I headed to the “yard sale”, I knew they were probably going to need some help.
When I got home they only had a couple of people looking around so I was able to go in and get a big pot [...]

Oops not keeping up!

I was doing great keeping up with my blog and then BAM, life got in the way!  Or should I say the crazy yard sale got in the way?
Thursday last week was a crazy day, got up and did my solo 5 mile loop, it was actually not that bad, it had been a tad [...]

Tuesday Training

I had a couple of trainings on Tuesday.  My first was me training my daughter, imagine my surprise when she wanted to “run”.  She is not that active and doesn’t have a cardio base so I knew we needed to start slow, but really wasn’t sure how slow so I called my buddy Annette and [...]

Lazy Sunday

Yesterday I decided not to run, after Saturdays hilly run my legs were tired and I needed the break and it was great.  It was also a rainy day in July, how often does that happen?  It was an odd rain though, the sky would just open up and bam, sheets of rain would come, [...]

Fourth of July Run

Trying to be a better blogger and do this at least every other day, get back on track.
Today was my long run day, training for the Bass Pro Shops Marathon on November 1. Tammy and I always run with the Little Rock Marathon Training Group on Saturday and even though today was the 4th, [...]

Finally Summer

Is it a good or bad thing?  For me it’s both.  I love running in the summer, but since I’ve lost my job it makes this particular summer, not so great.
It’s Fourth of July weekend, my plans, nil, nada, nothing, pitiful.  I would love to go somewhere, do something, get out on a boat, go [...]
