Two years of running – big victories and little victories
As of today, it has been two years since I started running. On August 25, 2010 running for even one minute at a time was a challenge. Yesterday, I ran for thee hours and 29 minutes (20 miles). I already wrote a bit about this on Friday and I don’t have much more to add […]
New record — most miles in a month
Peak weeks and weak peaks
Hey blog. I’ve been neglecting you. I just have not been feeling well this past week. Like someone turned the faucet off on my energy supply. Like achy and chills and misery.

Memorial Day weekend

Age ain’t nothing but a number
Yesterday, I ran with a running group in Brunswick. I’d gone to Brunswick to run that route a few times before with another friend, Jen, but I’d never gone early enough to meet with the group (leaving the house at 7:15 a.m. on a Saturday … groan!). Yesterday, I finally made it, and I ran […]
