http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/ en-us Copyright 2009 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:29:48 -0500 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 22:00:54 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.31 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss I want to start today's blog entry with a quote from Lauren Fleshman, my favorite runner (who watches over me from a poster as I sweat it out every day on the bike). Trackshark.com posted an interview with her today... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/lauren_fleshman.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/lauren_fleshman.html Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:29:48 -0500 I had a good day today, and a fun dinner with a friend tonight, but I would be lying if I didn't say that I wished I could have been hard core and run in the 40-degree rain today. I... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/wet_wednesday.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/wet_wednesday.html Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:26:42 -0500 I had such a hard time getting up this morning. I stayed up late reading Runner's World and then couldn't fall asleep for a little while. Generally it is impossible for me to stay up late reading anything because I... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/getting_back_on.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/getting_back_on.html Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:21:52 -0500 It's so true that five minutes after you return to work after a vacation, it's as if no time had passed at all! Well, it was nice to catch up with everyone again today, but I'm glad I got in... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/back_in_the_swi.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/back_in_the_swi.html Mon, 05 Jan 2009 21:59:19 -0500 It's been a long time since I had nearly two weeks off from work, and I definitely woke up today with that "last day of vacation" nervous feeling. I'm sure it will feel like no time passed once the work... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/quiet_day_2.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/quiet_day_2.html Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:43:28 -0500 I don't have too much to say about this morning's trainer ride other than my Achilles felt a little better than it did the day before. Matt slept in so I managed to get in about 90 minutes on the... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/trainer_ride_we.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/trainer_ride_we.html Sat, 03 Jan 2009 18:09:35 -0500 In the almost three years that I've been struggling with injuries, I have had good days and bad days in terms of dealing with things. Today was a not-so-good one. I am tired of feeling a pang of jealousy when... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/morning_in_the.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/morning_in_the.html Fri, 02 Jan 2009 19:24:00 -0500 I hope everyone had a nice New Year's Eve and was able to sleep in like I did! We went to bed around 1:30 am, which isn't too late for most people but is quite late for me. Our friends... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/happy_2009.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2009/01/happy_2009.html Thu, 01 Jan 2009 21:17:04 -0500 Well, this wasn't quite the running year I would have liked, but I can't complain about anything else. My new job is great, our house is great, and everything else is going pretty well. Although I may not have done... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/last_workouts_o.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/last_workouts_o.html Wed, 31 Dec 2008 19:05:14 -0500 We are sitting in the airport waiting for our flight back to D.C. We've had a nice time in Florida but as always, I am looking forward to getting back home. This morning was surprisingly cloudy (but it got better... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/heading_back_ho.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/heading_back_ho.html Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:16:53 -0500 Today's activities were very similar to yesterday's, from the workout to the beach. My Achilles was less sore today though so I was able to do my whole morning workout on the spin bike rather than splitting it between the... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/yesterday_again.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/yesterday_again.html Mon, 29 Dec 2008 19:21:19 -0500 Despite the sun shining outside, I knew what I had to do this morning and it took place inside on the spin bike. I tried not to feel too sorry for myself; at least I had a nice gym to... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/being_good_1.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/being_good_1.html Sun, 28 Dec 2008 19:05:03 -0500 I'm still sort of confused as to why my Achilles started bothering me again. I thought maybe I ran too long yesterday (even though I had done pretty much that same amount twice recently without too many ill effects), so... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/same_old.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/same_old.html Sat, 27 Dec 2008 19:29:24 -0500 The good news is that I did get in a very scenic run this morning and my knee didn't really bother me. The not-so-great news is that my Achilles was sore again! Really more the side of my ankle, but... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/achy_achilles_a.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/achy_achilles_a.html Fri, 26 Dec 2008 22:11:24 -0500 Considering my day started before 5am today, I'm very surprised that I'm still awake and will definitely be going to sleep soon. I actually didn't have too much trouble waking up this morning probably because I was looking forward to... http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/tropical_christ.html http://www.running-blogs.com/becky/archives/2008/12/tropical_christ.html Thu, 25 Dec 2008 21:59:20 -0500
