And we’re back

I don’t know if the 2 mile run earlier was invigorating, but at least it’s done. Of course, the rain starts up when I got outside, and the string that tightens the hood on my jacket snapped. It was good enough though, to keep me dry for the duration of the rain, which [...]
Okay okay, I’m going

Why is it, that the shorter the run, the longer I can put it off?
Anyway, I’m off now, I promise. It’s just two miles, despite the rain and damp and ick. I have my rain jacket to keep me dry, I’ll be fine.
When I get back, I’ll tell you have fabulous [...]

Denise and I have started working on this year’s Vino 100 fundraising event for Team Challenge and the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation!
The date is almost certainly April 25th. The rest of the details will be hammered out over the coming weeks, but we are organizing a silent auction and a raffle, and of course [...]
Yesterday was a fluke

Over four miles today, and my best split was 11:10. I averaged 11:28 over 4.4 miles, which is about what I usually do. I felt slow today, sluggish. Maybe it was the cold temperature (20*F) or the 15-20 mph winds, or possibly the busy streets I ran next to (Mayfair Road and [...]
Wow!

So, I did today’s 2 miles. I get back to work, get cleaned up, and plug the Garmin into the computer to see how the numbers turned out.
And stared at the screen in amazement!
Now, I am not a fast runner. I typically run 11-12 minute miles. Today though, [...]
Monday’s run

No, it was not at 5:30am. I’ve been so exhausted in the morning, that when the alarm goes off at 5am, I either hit the snooze or manage to turn it off and go back to sleep until much later. I need to get back to the early morning routine, but in the [...]
Time flies!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a week since I’ve posted. I apologize to my readers (all five of you!) and myself. Writing really does help me through the week. I mean to put something down, and never do.
First, we had the first group training for Team Challenge Kona/Napa last Saturday.
It was a [...]
