Run to the Pub 2012
Brent and I decided to run our first race of the year on St. Patrick’s Day! It is hard to get any races in before this time of year in Montana because of our lovely winters. We woke up around 7 am this morning, another lovely thing about racing in March in Montana is that…

I Could Not Resist
The other night I set out on a beautiful evening run with the husband. The temperature was in the 40s with hardly a glimpse of snow on the ground for a February day. The sun was slowly starting to go down as we hit the pavement. Spring was in the air, at least for this…

Running and Cycling
Yesterday morning, Jess had a scheduled 20 mile run to do and since I’ve been dragging my feet on the whole running front, I decided to run a portion with her. I also recently signed up for the Seattle to Portland cycling event, so I needed to get out on that new bike of mine…

Winter Running (Without Winter)
As you have probably been reading from Jess, we have had a strange lack of winter this year, which has lead to some beautiful days, days more reminiscent of spring. Jess has been able to enjoy many of her runs in above freezing temperatures and many of them in sunshine. It really has been a…

Increased Mileage Update
I have been plugging away at logging my long runs over the last several weekends. From here on out, I will not be going below a 16 miler. (Other than my midweek mileage). When I trained for the Portland Marathon, I think I ran a total of 4 runs over 15 miles which included one…

No Lottery – What to do?
This last weekend I ran the Nike+ Women’s Half Marathon. Although they called it a half marathon, you only had to run at least 13.1 so I was able to run my scheduled 15 miler. It was fun to run although I was all by myself. I knew I was running for cancer. I…

Sprints
This past week I finally decided to start doing some sprints for my marathon training. It has been several months since I have done them and I forgot how much I really do not like them. I am not a very good short distance runner, actually, I am not good at all. I set out…

Where did 1,050 miles take me in 2011?
At the beginning of 2011, I decided to start keeping a log of my running miles. I thought it would be fun to show where the 1,050 miles took me over the last year from running at 9,000 feet to running a marathon. It was quite a second year in running. My pace increased almost…

Nike+ Women’s Half Marathon
(Photo taken from the N+ WHM registration page) A while back, I “liked” the Nike Women’s Marathon facebook page to find out information on my sister-in-law while she was running the marathon. I am so glad that I did because I found out about this awesome event. Nike is putting on a Nike+ Women’s Half…

Not too sure how I feel about this…
On Saturday, I convinced Brent to run part of my planned twelve mile run. I figured I could come up with a nice six mile loop that would bring us back by the house. Brent was unsure if he could really run any more than this. In the last month, he has only been running…

Huffing for Stuffing
Last week marked the annual celebration of Thanksgiving. As we had done the previous year, we decided to run the Huffing for Stuffing 10k to benefit the Gallatin Valley Food Bank. Not only does this race support a great cause, but it also get us off our lazy rears to do something good for a…
