Sickness & Changes
Brent and I rarely get the bug that goes around this time of year. I have been immune to it. I am convinced it is because of my running and how much healthier that it makes me. Well, this year was different. Last Thursday I came down with that wonderful stomach flu that had been going out.…

Where did 1207 miles take me in 2012?
The year of 2012 was a great one for my running life. I logged 1207 miles over the course of the year. That is almost 160 miles more than 2011! I loved that I logged more miles. I do know that I did slack a little during the summer and later in the year. Overall,…

Ultra Training
My training for my ultra began at the beginning of the month and boy has it been a trip so far. The weather has been blizzard like, freezing cold (temperatures below zero!!) and not to mention mostly extremely icy. This is much different from the warm winter we had last year. I am loving all…

An Oregon Run
Brent and I were able to go on a chilly yet beautiful run the other morning in The Dalles. I ran up a hill to gain about 1000 feet. It felt great and the view was beautiful. It is a great way to start my training as it is a fresh start. Running in a…

Nike Women’s Marathon
Let’s begin two days before the race on Friday. My friends took me down to the race expo where I spent a couple hours enjoying all that they had to offer. It was probably the best expo – free photos, snacks, interviews with Olympians, and much more. I ran on a human hamster wheel! I found my name…

NWM – I survived!
Just a quick post to say that I survived and crossed the finish line to score my little blue box! It was a hard race mostly because of how crowded the streets were. I was feeling great but it was extremely difficult to get in a decent pace. Then once the half marathoners split off,…
