8 Miles

03.26.2011

I can’t believe it. The RunTheBluegrass half marathon is next Sunday. Yikes! This morning, Holli and I met up to tackle 8 miles. She and I were both dragging due to late nights watching UK make it to the Elite 8. We set off, and thankfully she and I were both of the opinion that speed …

11.5 Miles

03.19.2011

Phew. After last weeks 8.4 mile disaster, I knew I needed to figure something out for this week. Cue even DIFFERENT orthotic insoles (different size than what the podiatrist gave me), moleskin, compression socks and company. The always-lovely Amber headed out with me early this morning to try to tackle 11 miles, even though she only …

Workout Music Mania

03.11.2011

So, my usual half-marathon training buddies are both occupied with other things tomorrow, so it looks like I’m going to attempt 11 miles on my own! I’m going to train close to my house in case my husband needs to come pick my ass off the ground if needed. In preparation for the LONG solitude, I …

3 miles

03.06.2011

This morning I taped my feet and headed out to meet Holli (The Great Askini) and Lisa (a “regular” at the Saturday morning striders group) for half marathon training. My feet didn’t quite hurt as bad as they did yesterday, but they still didn’t feel right. After about 1.5 miles, I decided I would stop when …

10 Miles

02.26.2011

This morning, Holli (aka The Great Askini) was out of town for work, so my friend Amber joined me for my long walk training today for the half marathon. This was the third long training session. If you want to see previous recaps, see 7.2 miles and 8.0 miles. Since Holli and I did 8 miles …

8.0 Miles

02.19.2011

Ow. That about summarizes the 8 mile training with Holli (aka The Great Askini) today for the RunTheBluegrass half marathon. For some reason, I was really having some mental roadblocks- telling myself I was tired or too slow. For some reason last week’s 7.2 seemed so much easier. Today it didn’t help that my legs felt like …

7.2 Miles

02.12.2011

Today, I woke up bright eyed and not-so bushytailed and headed out to meet great new friend Holli (aka The Great Askini) for some half-marathon training. Not only has she been a great encourager, she is training with me, doing the half, and has donated to the cause. Talk about awesome! We met at The Legacy …

Like a fish in water

01.28.2011

As I wrote yesterday, I’ve had the winter blues a little this week. I had a couple of good workouts this week, but this morning I just couldn’t make myself get out of bed. I chose the extra sleep. All day, this bugged me. I didn’t feel like I’ve done my absolute best this week. I …

Let’s Try Again

01.14.2011

This morning started off with a fizzle when I woke up late, having missed my 5:30am spin + yoga class, and an appointment with my therapist (everyone needs a healthy mind). Bah. The day could only go up from there! I got some good things accomplished at work, although the confidence issue came back up again. …
