Run

It seemed so easy to sign up for the .5marathon five months ago. It definitely wasn’t easy fitting in all of those training runs (in fact, most of the time I didn’t… ) It has been a daily challenge, as of late, to get as mentally prepared for this event as I possibly can. A […]

Race Day

Cheering on my friends that are running the Lincoln Marathon (Full or Half – either way, y’all ROCK!) today!!! Five years ago i set out for that 13.1 mile race. i think about it everyday… and probably talk about it way too often, considering it happened FIVE Years Ago! sheesh! I had planned to train […]

Running in the Rain… Just Running in the Rain

well, this might be my first official running blog post. I ran today– TA DAH!!! and i took the pooches with me. (and they loved it, thank you very much!) for the last two weeks, i have been on the illustrious Truck$ & Buck$ Truck Tour (which has completely and totally wiped me out… seriously, […]

bad blood and raw fish

apparently, the Blood Bank doesn’t want my blood… or, i need to ingest more iron in order to donate. so, back again i shall go next week, same bat time, same bat channel in an attempt to donate. bugger. since they didn’t mandate “no strenuous activity or heavy lifting” i felt like it was a […]

Feedback Please: Lucy

Question: is it a bad idea to run my 17-month-old puppy (golden retriever/labrador retriever mix) two-miles, about four times per week? i don’t want to cause hip dysplasia or anything else serious…. any comments would be appreciated!

What Good Shall I Do This Day?

(title referenced from here) i donated blood today! one more time and i am at three gallons! whoopie! but then, as i sat in the chair with the last ounces to go– the phlebotomist reminded me, – eat three square meals (Done!) – drink lots of fluids (done, and done) – don’t do any heavy […]

Happy Ash Wednesday

(is it blasphemous to say that?… this isn’t a cake baking occasion, is it?) so lent begins… and being Catholic Without The Guilt (Episcopalian – one that doesn’t end up at Church very often…) i sometimes dabble in the fun of giving up – or taking on – something for Lent. Last year i thought […]

Knitting on the Run

‘Tis the season when my jeans unexplainably shrink in my closet between wearings. ‘Tis also the season where i prefer to sit on my rear and knock out some knits while i pare down the DVR listing piling up. This combination is not so much a good “fit” for the shrinking jean predicament. I wish […]
