I actually look forward to my walk home after work – courtesy of my “Chevrolegs” 🙂 Ben and I are still deciding whether or not we should get my car out here (it’s still in CA!). I can’t decide. I know I will really appreciate having it here in the winter, but I don’t know if I need it here???…

Distance vs. Time
After Caitlin asked about “What is a long run?” it got me thinking. I have always thought of runs in terms of distance, but over time my running has gotten a little faster (don’t get all crazy, not much) so I am running the same distance, but less time. I used to run 6 miles on my treadmill 5 days…

Walking and reading
I’ve been bringing reading material along for my walk home from work. Today I was reading Intuitive Eating, I know I’m super predictable. Anyways, reading the book slowly- as I actually go through the process, is very helpful. Part of what I read today talked about self talk and that this is a process. When you mess up – and…

Confession: I am an addict

I made my list and plan on freeing myself from the stigma of “DO NOT EAT THIS” in my head. I don’t think that is the hard part. Right now the hard part is…

Everyone has bad runs
I am a recreational runner and in no way can I compare myself to these amazing professional athletes – I’m talking about the best female runners in the United States. Kara Goucher and Tera Moody are two of these women. These ladies had “bad” runs this week. Well, bad for them, I guess. Those stats would have been life changing…

Running in the Dark
I was Running in the Dark today because I had to wake up super early to get to work on time. I left for my run at 5:30am – which I’ve done before, but for some reason the sun was making no attempts to rise yet! I was actually scared because it was so dark! I couldn’t even see the…

Weekend Rewind
How was your weekend! I was MIA because the blog was getting some work done – it will be revealed soon 🙂 On Saturday I had crappy run that resulted in a revelation – I need to get my shit together. Isn’t that a profound revelation? Yeah, I know. I missed the “b.l.o.g” (I spell it out when I talk…
