Race Report: River Run For Hope

By

It is no secret I have not been running lately, which I am not happy about but you know my shin splints had me scared.I saw this race and signed up a few weeks ago thinking maybe a flat course was what I needed.  Paying for a race, well I had to show up.

It is a great cause as well.  All proceeds  support The Ghana Friendship Project’s work in 2012 providing medical and health care supplies, … [Read More...]

"  OK, I am slower than I HAVE been and certainly slower than where I … [Read More...]

Treadmill…Dreadmill….Schmeadmill…..How I Make it Fun for Me

By

I much prefer running outside....well along a nice flat path, preferably gravel.....but sometimes I find the need to run at the gym on the Treadmill.  Mostly because I need the free childcare, I mean I am not speedy, but my 5 year old can't keep up with me and quite frankly, my exercise is ME time.When I hurt my foot last year, I joined a gym to be able to access exercise bikes and elliptical machines.  I kept up with my membership this year thinking it would be good to have access to … [Read More...]
