As a woman and a runner the San Diego rape and murder of the 17 year old girl who was out running is so infuriating. I have not been able to stop thinking about it. I don’t have any idea how as a parent you would be able to cope with this tragedy. Clint always [...]
Happy Spring to everyone. It is so nice to see green poking out of the ground and to be outside in a t-shirt! Eva loves to be outside and lately we go out and she plays while I turn my compost pile. She loves to chase the ducks and chickens. By the way I have [...]
I hate diesel engines because I hate breathing it in while running. Oh, and because it is bad for the environment. Occasionally I get the jerk who purposely shifts his diesel engine right next to me while running which sends a huge, black diesel cloud in my direction. These people are assholes. Sorry. But how [...]
I went running yesterday. It is a miracle. I am training for the Moab Half Marathon which is on March 20. (Yes, that date is right) I have a friend and we decided to help motivate each other by running with each other every Monday night. I am so glad to have a running partner; [...]
Eva has an ear infection. It is so sad to see her sick. She only wants me (which is not like her). Last night for about a half hour she just cried and cried. Nothing consoles her, it is awful. It may not be linked to the H1N1 shot who really knows right? All I [...]
I have decided to train for another marathon. It is in December. I am going to attempt to qualify for Boston. I am just going to start my training now. I do love to run and I do love a challenge. That doesn’t make it less stupid though. So if there is anyone out there [...]
So I did go running. I got all ready. I got Eva all ready and in the stroller and made sure she was snuggly warm. And I was off! for about 5 minutes….. one of the tires of the stroller went completely flat and I had to turn back and walk home. I am counting [...]
Last weekend I ran my first marathon in St George, Utah. I did better than I thought I would and it was more fun than I thought it would be. Going in I didn’t expect much of myself. The farthest I have ran in the last 9 months is 7 miles. In case you don’t [...]
This is my running face. I realize it is not pretty but it shows I am pushing so whatever. I was in the middle of running 6.7 miles averaging a 7:50 minute mile. (That is good for me.) (It was downhill though so it’s not that impressive.) Last weekend I ran in the Red Rock [...]
I think I am going to barf in my boots. Seriously. Some people have no grip on reality. Not every day is perfect and happy and loverly. I can put rose colored glasses on just like everyone else but there are good days and bad days and that’s OK. If you don’t have bad days [...]
