In flight. Adele in my ears, and two hours left to go.
Race day is Sunday. The past two months have been a bit of a blur, and yet, here I am. Life outside running has gone haywire since the May race. I began to write a few times, and [...]

Five days running
Posted in running, tagged cabin, napa, progress, race, running on May 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
That’s what I’m up to right now! This morning marked my fifth day in a row of running, -with no walk breaks-. This is a huge accomplishment for me, and I’m not sure where it came from, but I’ll take it.
All of my runs usually involve walk breaks. But since the half [...]

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 [...]

Possibly coming soon: Year Two of running Napa with the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation’s Team Challenge. I’m giving it some thought, and will be attending a meeting on Thursday to get more information.
I want to run Napa again anyway, and make it through the course without sustaining an injury, but with [...]

4am. Time to get up. I never feel awake unless I shower in the morning, and race day is no different. Denise and I had smartly laid out our things the night before, so it wasn’t a rush-rush to get dressed. While Denise got ready, I braided my hair into pigtail braids – one down the left side and [...]
Last “long” training run
Posted in running, training, tagged crohn's, napa, running, training on July 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I was out the door at 5:15 this morning, to get in the final long run of training: 75 minutes. I ran past South Shore Park, where some folks were cleaning up from the Frolics, up to Russell, and back down to Saint Francis. The morning was cool and the sun wasn’t quite up yet. [...]

Five double u’s and an h

Preparing for a half marathon can be a huge undertaking – time, energy, effort, motivation. I completed the Napa to Sonoma Wine Country Half Marathon last year, with a time over 3 hours. 3:07 something, I think it was. This year, I’m going back, and I want to do it better.
With that in mind, I registered in January for the [...]
