It is no secret I have been a total slacker since the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon the end of February, heck I owe a trip and race report – I will do one I promise AND I have only run like 2 times. I signed up for the Atlanta Peachtree Road Race 10k Lottery – […]

So only 39 days until the Princess 1/2 and I am on track well kind of. It has been AGES since I posted and I did go to the sports doc. I have  Posterior Tendinitis in my left food.  This has been causing the tightness in my ankle and the soreness in my arch.  My […]

Got in 4 miles today as scheduled.  Felt OK the first 25 minutes, then got tired. I changed up my intervals to 1 min run/1 min walk to see if I can feel stronger with shorter runs….did 6.4mph run for 1 minute and 4.4mph run for 1 minute. I liked this pace actually though after […]

Hooray!  After many weeks of laziness I am back! I got all my scheduled runs in this week…..which is only 3 and I actually rode my bike one day.  I am following the Jeff Galloway training plan for the Princess 1/2 and I have 20 weeks.  Its basically 2 weekly runs of 30-45 minutes, 1 […]

I follow Running While Chunky’s blog and she is giving away a Glam Headband. They look cute!  I am thinking of being Belle for the Princess 1/2 so a Gold or Blue one would look nice with whatever I decided to wear. To enter, check out Running While Chunky.  Her blog is very entertaining and […]

I am a very emotional person AND an emotional eater. Well that explains the 30 lbs I need to loose!  You know even JUST 25 would also be OK by me….. This weekend after my race I came home to some really sad news.  My brother in law who was treated for stage 1 lung […]

Last year I did not cross train when I was training for the princess.  I think this is one of the reasons I ended up injured before the race. I came across this in Facebook on the Active.com page and though I would share…OK – I am posting for reference because I certainly can add […]

Well I am 3 for 3 in planned runs this week vs completed.  Been a long time since I have been able to say that! Conditions this morning were fantastic….60 degrees, partly cloudy, slight breeze. I love running when the weather is SO nice.  The course I ran today is down by the river so […]

I made it out today.  Been a while.  Took it slow so not impressed with my time, but glad I got in 3.2 today.  Thanks for your support. I did a 6 minute warm up walk, normally do 5, but forgot to turn on my interval app.  Followed with 2:1 (run 2 minutes, walk 1) […]

So my plan is to get a run in the morning….my lazy butt needs to get going. I was going to do it this morning, but lets just say a night with margaritas at the local Mexican restaurant did not want me getting up early and running today…sheesh I am getting old – and I […]
