Trying something new
This time last year I was training for my first half marathon. I had never run more than 3 miles at a time and the idea of being able to run over 10 consecutive miles was just ludicrous. But before I knew it I was addicted to hitting the pavement, sipping down Nuun and gobbling …
During and After
Yesterday's post was all about what I do before I go for a long run. Well here is how all of that preparation paid off and then how I recovered. Because there was minimal wind yesterday morning I decided to take advantage of the running playground I live in and run across the Golden Gate …

nickles and dimes – also known as CHANGE
Sunday's are reserved for moving slower, taking care of errands and lounging in the evening. I did take care of errands, like going to the market, and I did lounge in the evening, but the moving slowly part did not happen. I woke up and ran 5 miles in the beautiful spring sun - but …
You know you’re a runner when…
