Grandma’s Marathon Race Report
I feel like the title of this post is misleading because, in case you don't follow me on Facebook, this was my first full marathon DNF. That stands for Did Not Finish. Le sigh. Let's back up though. I went into this marathon with lots of training hiccups...
7 Tips to Surviving Taper Madness (And Grandma’s Marathon Goals)
I admit that this training cycle has left me with a far less anxious taper than normal but some of that old crazy definitely crept up yesterday as I googled every race calculator ever made. The reason behind my current calm? I don't really know what to expect come...
Eye of the Sloth
In 2013, I raced in a small, local sprint tri and for some reason when I got to the run I just didn't have the desire or will to push it. I didn't run my hardest and I waved hi to friends as we passed each other and when I saw the S.O. he told me to karate...
Running of the Donuts 5K Race Recap

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.
As I stated on Friday, I planned to rest a couple of days and then attempt my long run on Sunday. On Saturday morning I hit the beach for an open water swim and as I walked on the sand, my leg and hip hurt. Cue foreboding music... As Saturday wore on the pain...
Hip STD. That’s a Real Thing.
I'm off. Come here often? Which, in any other moment we'd all know is related to my general...discombobulated-ness. But this training cycle has been strange. I've felt "off" for more than I'd like. For the last two weeks I've had some strange pain that started...
