      • Back to the Trails
        11/29/08
        I realized this morning that I had not been on the trails since our Charleau Gap run on October 4. And, once I got out there, I realized how much I had missed it. Trails beat the road any day. It's a good thing I feel that way, as I'll be hitting them more often to prepare for the Pemberto

      • Thanksgiving Day Cross Country Classic 5K
        11/27/08
        Having done this race five times previously, it has become something of a Thanksgiving tradition. However, Paul and I were tempted to break tradition today due to the large volume of water falling from the sky - not an issue we often face in the desert. If we had registered on our own, we definitely

      • The Next Big Thing
        11/25/08
        It's official. I have registered for the Pemberton 50K, a 31-mile (for the metric-challenged) trail race outside of Phoenix on February 14. What else would Paul and I do for Valentine's Day?

        For a few months, I have been saying that, if I finished the marathon uninjured, then I

      • San Antonio Weekend and Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Report
        11/23/08
        The story begins Friday evening when I packed my bags and got to bed about 9pm...and tossed and turned until I finally decided to get up and watch TV, so that I could unwind and Paul could sleep. I returned to bed at 10:10pm and willed myself to fall asleep...but I did not and my stress level climbe

      • San Antonio Bound
        11/14/08
        To avoid total post-race devastation after months and months of training, it is recommended to have three race goals in mind. And here are mine:

        No Problem Goal - To reach the finish line uninjured.
        Barring some unforeseen disaster, I feel very confident that I can achieve this...whi

      • I Got a New Camera!
        11/09/08
        Two posts in one day - this is unprecedented! But, as you can see, I'm excited about my new toy.



        One of Paul's hobbies is photography which means we have a really nice camera that I don't know how to use. It's also a large camera which makes it difficult to

      • Sierra Vista Charity Biathlon Race Report
        11/09/08
        One thing I love about racing is the variety. Next weekend, I'll be in San Antonio running a marathon with 29,999 other people. Yesterday, I was in Sierra Vista for the Inaugural Sierra Vista Charity Biathlon, a 5K run and 14-mile bike race that drew only about 100 people. I enjoy events where

      • Two Weeks and Counting
        11/02/08
        Last weekend, I did my final long run for the marathon - 21 miles - and then went to a festival and a going away party. I couldn't believe how good I felt and how much energy I had! Sure, I was a little stiff for a few days, but it was nothing like the pain I had anticipated - the kind that tur
