Running Through Crazy Weather and a Field Trip

April 15, 2018

It’s sleeting as I type. No wait…now it’s full on slowing…and blowing…you get the idea. Except for two days of lovely “seasonal” spring weather here this week, Mother Nature seems to be suffering from a case of PMS….or menopause….I’m not quite sure what it is, but here’s how my workout week went, in spite of [Read More]

What is a Training Base and How Do I Build One?

April 9, 2018

This week’s Tuesdays on the Run Linkup is all about spring training…even though it feels nothing like spring here right now. What are your spring training and racing plans? Personally, since I’m little more than one week back to running since my knee injury, my spring will be all about rebuilding my training base. I’ve [Read More]

Just Because You CAN Does It Mean You SHOULD?

April 8, 2018

In case you missed it, I came off the injured DL last week, was released from my Dr. and made a triumphant….no wait…make that a careful, fearful return to running. Monday: Run+walk at incline 1.35 miles Tuesday: Walk at incline 10 minutes (I wanted 20 or 30 but my knee did not) + strength/core Wednesday: [Read More]

Let’s Chat Over Coffee

April 5, 2018

A new month means it’s time to sit down and catch up over a brew. I’m linking up with Coco and Deb for the April edition of the Ultimate Coffee Date. I runfess I’ve had lattes before but never one with a fancy heart until I got to California and had TWO within days of [Read More]

What Injured Runners Do When They Can’t Run

April 2, 2018

Our Tuesdays on the Run topic this week is Favorite Spring Running Stuff. Because I spent most of March on the Injured DL, and because it feels nothing like spring here in Chiberia, I don’t have too many favorite spring running things right now, unless you count this BIG ONE: I just completed my first [Read More]

March by Number

April 1, 2018

Happy Easter/Passover! I am just back home from our spring break vacay in sunny California. Although we’ve been to California many times before, I think this was one of our best visits. You may recall our trip there 2 years ago was kind of a mess. That said, March is finally a wrap! While I [Read More]

Springtime Runfessions

March 29, 2018

Wait. Is that APRIL I see heading our way? That means its time once again to open up the Runfessional. Join me for a springtime edition of the Runfession Friday Linkup! Let’s get started, shall we? I runfess my gymfession of the month, for once, did not take place in the locker room. As I [Read More]

There’s Life After DNF/DNS

March 26, 2018

This week’s Tuesdays on the Run topic is all about that dreaded decision to DNS or DNF a race. That’s did not start and did not finish a race, in case you were wondering. After months of training and sacrifice, taking a DNF or DNS is a bitter pill for sure. DNS? I’ve had a [Read More]

Knee Woes and Sweet Redemption

March 19, 2018

Our Tuesdays on the Run topic this week is a timely one: Are those two words, strung together, music to your ears like they are to mine? As I write this, just 2 school days stand between me and spring break nirvana. The girl chicks and I fly out to Los Angeles later this week, [Read More]

Spring Refresh and Roasted Red Pepper Dip

March 18, 2018

I received free product for review purposes from Mom’s Meet. Compensation was provided for this post however all thoughts and opinions, as always, are my own.  I start the Zooma Spring Cleaning Challenge this week. Since my knee injury, I’m not running (or biking…or anything…ugh) right now, so burning calories does not come easy. It [Read More]

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
