Mr. Huzzah and I headed over to out high school track yesterday evening. Track workouts have been an integral part of our half marathon training. It helps to work on food turnover and speed, but it also teaches you what your limits are. I’ve learned how far I can push at top speed, and have…
It’s called a race. Not a fun run, community jog, or volksmarch. A race. That word has some serious connotations for runners, both in terms of preparation and for the actual event itself. But the one attachment I think we overlook too much is that races are competitive events, meant to pit you not only…
I’ve come full circle this week. After a rocky start on Monday, I’ve regained my confidence in running! I also set a weekly mileage record – 33 miles in 7 days! This is due to running not one, but TWO long runs this week since last weekend’s long run got pushed to the holiday Monday. Week…
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been absent for the past few days. I don’t typically post over the weekend, so that’s nothing unusual. Then Monday was a holiday, so we can extend the weekend meme here. But Tuesday and no post?! What’s going on?! To be perfectly honest, I’ve been a bit of a…
31 Days. 31 days are standing between me and the Rock n’ Roll USA Half Marathon. All of a sudden, I’m getting anxious about the race. A large part of my nervousness is stemming from the fact that I’ve been running well. At least I think I’ve been running well, but have I been running…
I’m celebrating Valentine’s Day #RunChat Style. My Ode to Running Running I love… … your consistency. You are always there, just as I remembered you. … that you provide my sanity and spirit just what it needs. Sometimes long, easy miles; sometimes lung-busting speed. … your forgiveness. You never give up on me if I…
Rock ‘n Roll has announced the course for the 2012 USA race on March 17!! I ran this race a couple years ago when it was still the National Half Marathon and not Rock n Roll branded. From what I remember, it appears there are a few changes to the course. The race is unique…
As I’m sure everyone already knows, running isn’t just a physical sport. Your mental conditioning plays a huge role. Your body can only do so much if your mind is throwing up road blocks (ha, good pun). You need positive thinking to get through the physical tough spots. Enter the running mantra. man·tra/ˈmantrə/ Noun: (originally…
“If a tree falls in the middle of a forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” That is the philosophical questions I am wrestling with after my run yesterday. You see, I ran 6 pretty speedy miles for my tempo run last night: Mile 1: 9:14 Mile 2:…
I know I’m in the minority here, but I don’t run with music. I realize that many, many people are die hard, must run with music people. I understand some of the reasons why — motivation, distraction, and pacing. To play devils advocate, I’d like to offer up 10 reasons to forgo the headphones. 10….
Hi, I'm Brigid. This is my journey in living an active, healthy life as I approach my 30th year. I try to focus on the positives, eat more veggies, run more miles, and not sweat the small stuff.
