Fixing a Running Problem
This isn’t about running form or sore feet or chafing. No, this is about another running problem: Rust stains. Sometimes you’re given bum safety pins to attach the race bib to your shirt. Unfortunately, you don’t know that you have bum safety pins until after you remove the pins and find that your massive amounts […]
This is Not Happening Today
It seems rather odd to say this, but The Boy is not running a marathon today. He has, after all, run a marathon each of the last three weekends. But this weekend is dedicated to rest. Neither of us even felt up to running a 5k race today. Rest. It’s important. However, I did want to […]
I Have Made a Terrible Mistake
The Boy is crazy. Certifiable. Why do I say that? Because: Last week he texted our little tribe and said he wished he could run another marathon this weekend. (Note: he just ran a marathon last week…and the week before.) He said that he felt like “running like crazy.” Of course, we all thought he […]
The Boy Likes First-Evers

A Race in Review

We drove to Kansas to participate in the Eisenhower Half and Full Marathon. The Boy needed a redemption marathon after having to pull out of the Dallas Marathon because of his […]
A Runner’s “Problem”
Running is great for losing weight and even more so for reshaping your body. I’ve had the best results at reducing my hip and waist size through regular training runs. There’s just a slight problem with that. My friend S from work pseudo-complained about the same thing on Twitter this week: You know your running […]
My World is Flat(ter)
My broken foot last summer taught me something. And it wasn’t that I look awesome with an ortho boot on. It’s this: I can’t really wear heels as a daily public transport commuter. The car-to-train-to-office-to-train-to-car hike kills my feet if I’m wearing a traditional heel. {And there was great sadness in the land.} So I […]
