And no running. This week is supposed to be a mini taper in anticipation of a 5K or 10K this weekend. The only problem is that I can't find anything convenioently close to home to run.
I find the best place to look for races is at raceplace.com ( http://www.raceplace.com/ ). There are a few that don't show up on raceplace, but they tend to b ...

For the last week or so I've been kind of searching. My workouts are going really well, I'm gaining muscle and losing fat and really feeling great. But this is the danger zone. The time when I get feeling cocky and this is usually where the wheels come off. I've been trying to avoid that happening and I thought a race might be a good idea. I ...

And I'm the other girl in the pictures on this blog.
I've been MIA for quite some time now and I apologize for that. But I bet you didn't even notice my absence since Amy's been kicking ass in her running and blogging about it. So I gotta give Amy a huge shout-out for keeping up our blog single-handedly.
You see, Amy and I started bloggi ...

Happy belated 4th of July! I had the best weekend and am actually pretty sad to go “back to reality.” My 2lb gain on the scale this morning only reminded me of the hard work ahead of me this coming week. I wasn’t as bummed as I probably should’ve been when I saw the numbers. I kind of expected it after all the good eats I had during my parent ...

I am STUFFED. We practically ate our way around town today. This morning, I met my parents at their hotel around 8:30 for breakfast.

I woke up on Saturday both nervous and excited. I knew that I needed to eat something and start getting hydrated so I ate cheerios and a banana. I drank a few cups of water. I’m not really sure what you should eat for breakfast on race day, but I know that this breakfast hasn’t ever bothered me when I’ve run in the morning before. So I ...

Sun 14 Feb 2010 12:00am
When I mention Injinji to runners, most immediately know what I'm talking about. Everyone seems to have heard about them. Like most runners, I had seen them and they piqued my curiosity, but I wa never sure if they were worth trying. After all, I had a formula for socks and shoes that seemed to be working. Well, that all came to a head ab ...
