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…

Running – What to do in 2013?
As I have been thinking over and over again what I would like to do for running next year, I was torn. I would really like to run another marathon next year, but I have told myself that I am not training for one over the summer again. Next summer is going to be reserved…

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,…

A Walk Downtown
As Brent already told you, the other night we took a walk downtown just to get out. The smoke has been so bad this week and summer that I have had to be extremely flexible with my runs. We skipped the run this night in particular because we couldn’t see the surrounding mountains. This was…

For the last several months, I had been putting a team of 12 people plus 2 volunteers together for the 180 mile Grand Teton Relay. Last year I had heard of this relay, but I unfortunately did not know enough runners to get a team of 12 together. This year, a guy I knew wanted…

Ice Baths vs Chocolate Milk
Last summer during my marathon training, I spent 10-15 minutes after almost all of my long runs sitting in an ice cold bath. This year, there have been no ice baths. Instead I have been having a wonderfully tasty glass of chocolate milk after every long run. Even on the short runs when I am…
