March Stats/Recap

April is here and the cool temps of the past few months are in the rear-view mirror. I'm sad to see them go for running reasons, but I love the longer days. Plus, I can't wait for beach days and triathlon season. Yes, you read that right. I'm actually going to compete...

Nine.

I ran nine miles this morning. One mile for every year that my dad has been gone. I wasn't a runner, not really, before my dad passed. My sister and I had been training for our first 10K, which I believe was actually Iron Girl, and he passed the weekend prior to our...

The Agony and The Ecstasy or Strength Training Shenanigans

Ok, so I never saw that movie, but the title seemed appropriate for today's strength and conditioning shenanigans. I suppose this is EXACTLY what I get for taking so much time off. My arms are already Jello so I can't imagine what I'm going to feel like later. I still...

Currently.

Currently. I took a week off of blogging and need to catch up with you all on what's been going on. Quite frankly, it's been a lot! Thus far, 2016 has been a whirlwind of highs and lows. I'd be happy with a bit more even keel moving forward but I've been very blessed...

A Discombobulated Makeover

You've probably noticed a new look here at Discombobulated Running. And as with all new things, there may be a few hiccups along the way. The amazing designer and I had a hell of a time trying to move the blog out of blogger. Fortunately, Meghan, had just redesigned...

Rock N Roll New Orleans Marathon Goals

The one really tough thing about writing a blog is putting those BHAGs out there. What's a BHAG? It's a big, hairy audacious goal. And while I have shied away from them at times in the past, other times, I've felt ready to go after them and shout them from the...

2023: A Look Back

It's almost the new year, and I keep hearing people say how the year flew by. Well friends, this year did not fly by for me. I think I would have preferred that. For me, it was a year of rebuilding my fitness. It was a year of new challenges and learning to work with...

Top Ten Things That Have Helped My Mental Health During Injury

As some of you may know, I am an ambassador for Still I Run. Ironically enough, I got the news I was accepted to be an ambassador about a week before I hurt my back. The irony being that Still I Run is a cause that supports running to help with mental health, plus a...

The Return of the Blog

I realize the last time I wrote an update here was February 2020. Yikes. I was all guns blazing heading into my bikini competition prep. But, we all know what happened the very next month. The C word: Covid. I tried so hard to stick with the training. Truly. I worked...
