I owe you a race recap (which may or may not happen, as the race was 6 weeks ago!). The short of it is – I made it, fastest time yet, and tk and jd and Charles Dinersign (did I get that right?) were there to greet me. It was truly awesome.
Since the [...]

Cycling more than running lately

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 [...]
Kenosha, check. Next up, Racine!

The Lighthouse Run is Saturday, June 20th, and I will be there! Denise and I are registered for the 10-miler. (No, we are not attached at the hip. Really.)
It’s nice to have another race on the schedule, between now and Napa. Ten miles at that time will be nice preparation for [...]
This is how it happened

Friday:
I left work a little after 1pm, and picked up Denise at her house. We headed for REI to make sure we had all the fuel we needed for the race, and then to the spa at the Pfister for express pedicures. Pretty toes after the race take preparation before the race! [...]
We did it!

Denise and I finished the half marathon! I got a PR along the way as well! Injury free and ready for more!
(Better race report later!)
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 [...]

Tonight, the postal service will take possession of my registration into the Wisconsin Half Marathon, taking place on May 2.
Let the training begin!

Joe, Joy, Denise and Karen at the pre-race dinner
I’m still trying to figure out how this uploading photos thing works, hence the non-uniform formatting business up there. But these are just a few pictures of the weekend. More to come when I figure it out.
Race Day – the extended version

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 [...]
Next half marathon – Chicago?

Scott says I should sign up for it if I want to. I have a $5 coupon. It’s September 14 – the weekend after our first anniversary (Sept 9).
What to do, what to do. It would keep me running, no doubt.
Running to …

Oconomowoc?
In my “ooh, look, a shiny!” attention span, I stumbled across the website for the Lake Country Half Marathon. It’s August 30, and would keep me motivated for running after my return from Napa. Last year, when I returned, I failed to lace up my running shoes again until … January. I’d rather not do [...]
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 [...]
