I’ve had some ongoing hamstring problems for the past couple of months. Except for the first week or so, I’ve been able to run despite this, after being advised by a therapist that it was okay to do so. Speedwork though? Not so much.
On top of this, last week I went on vacation and didn... Comment - Like

Last night our water heater decided to give up the ghost.
Around midnight, just as my husband was starting to drift off to sleep, he heard an odd noise coming from our basement. Being a wiser (or at least more alert) person than I, he went downstairs to check it out and found that our water heater... Comment - Like

I seem to be plagued with injuries lately. First a hamstring injury, now this: a stress reaction in my second metatarsal, left foot.
For those of you that don’t know what a ‘stress reaction’ is (I didn’t!), here’s the lay explanation my podiatrist gave me: it’s b... Comment - Like

Due to my injury, I’ve been doing a lot of cross-training lately (which I should be doing regularly anyway, but that’s a different subject). In an attempt to keep my fitness level up and also keep myself entertained, I’ve been doing high-intensity intervals a couple of times a week... Comment - Like

I marked my second week of post-injury running with a race this morning. It was the Broomfield Days 5K–a tiny little race that is held during the ‘burb’s annual community celebration. Last year the race had fewer than 150 entrants; I’m guessing that this year’s turnout ... Comment - Like

As I’ve mentioned a couple of times previously, I’m going to be running the Denver Half Marathon this coming Sunday. As you also know if you’ve been following along, my training hasn’t gone all that well this year because of various injuries. In fact, the longest run I’... Comment - Like

Well, it depends how you look at it.
If you’ve been following along, you know that I was planning to run the Denver Half Marathon this past Sunday, that I’ve had a few injuries this year that have kept me from training as hard or as much as I would have liked, and that my only real goa... Comment - Like

There may be something really wrong with me (I’m sure there is), but I’ve always loved running in fresh snow. It’s not that I like cold weather–in fact, I don’t really like the cold much at all–but there’s something about the way the world looks all frosted ... Comment - Like

Before welcoming in 2010, I’d like to take a few sentences to mention what I’ve been thankful for in 2009:
My husband, who is both my friend and the love of my life
That we have enough resources to keep a roof over our head and food on our table
Family and friends, who have supported an... Comment - Like

Last night I had the chance to listen to and meet Jeff Galloway, the former Olympic marathoner and current running coach/entrepreneur, who was speaking at my local Road Runner Sports store. The session was a very informal Q&A in which Jeff answered general running questions as well as specific quest... Comment - Like
