I ran my first below 30 degree run yesterday. It was early, it was dark, and it was cold. It was 14 degrees. I don’t have a lot of cold weather running gear. I started running this May so haven’t needed until recently. November was pretty mild, and I got in quite a few days ...

What’s next now that I have done something I didn’t think I could? Do it again, of course! I have a couple of goals I’m working on now. First up is focusing on losing some weight. Although I’d heard the rumors, I was a little disappointed that I didn’t lose anything (even seemed to gain ...

A part of me does not want to write this post. I can’t believe it’s over. I still can’t believe I did it! The training, the early Saturday mornings, the sweaty humid runs in summer, the fundraising.

Life got a little crazy on me the last few weeks and I’ve been out of town more in the last 2 weeks than in a long time. First for work for a few days. Then last weekend we went to the Husker game at Purdue. It was Eric’s first away game. Great time! ...

Saturday I had group training for 8 miles. Then Sheri and I changed clothes and headed to the Dirty Girl Mud Run. It was a blast! I really just feel like a big kid running up and over things, getting dirty, and having a great time. This first obstacle I had a great time ...

A friend of mine shares this article from the WSJ online on Facebook, and I’ve got say, I’m a little fired up over it. Maybe it’s because I’m slow. And not competitive. The Slowest Generation The article talks about how races are becoming less competitive and the young athletes aren’t trying as hard as they ...

Quick update
