Before I get to the creamer shenanigans and other stuff, here’s how the workout week went. I wanna say I’m about 8 weeks out from the Indy Monumental Marathon, the halfway point, I think. You’re right if you guessed I’m sort of winging it and still up in the air as to whether I’ll run [Read More]
Coffee and Driving and Sweating
A new month and (almost) a new season! That means its time to get together with Deb, Coco and you for an Ultimate Coffee Date.

Running the half in Indianapolis would be so much easier. But would I ever forgive myself if I flake? Here’s how my workouts [Read More]
Loving/Not Loving and Designer Ice
Summer’s on the downswing, kids are back in school here and it’s been awhile since I shared what I’m loving and not loving, so let’s get to it, shall we? Not Loving that it’s still hot as balls. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for summer. But this 96% humidity jazz makes marathon training no [Read More]

Race Day Mishaps? I’ve Had a Few
This week’s Tuesdays on the Run topic is Running and Racing Mishaps. Face it, whether it’s negligence on our part or an act of God, sh!* happens sometimes. In the 10 years or so I’ve been running long distance, I’ve certainly had my share of “surprises”. Mostly extreme weather issues, but some other incidents as [Read More]
