I've been known to walk into walls. In my own house. A house that I had lived in for my entire life at... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/klutziness.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/klutziness.html Sun, 14 May 2006 18:47:19 -0500 Thank you to everyone who expressed birthday wishes. It was a great day, all day long. I only had one real present from my parents, something that I picked out months ago. I wanted a digital camera since I have... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/celebrating.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/celebrating.html Sat, 13 May 2006 13:36:13 -0500 Yesterday was a hot seven miles. 51:30, which seems to be the standard time for this course on an easy day. I realized that I had not run from home at all for three weeks, so I sort of missed... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/another_one_in.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/another_one_in.html Thu, 11 May 2006 13:05:42 -0500 Right now I have an overwhelming sense of guilt. An ex-boyfriend used to call this his Catholic Guilt, but I'm not Catholic, so that name doesn't refer to me. There really isn't anything to feel guilty about, but I still... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/guilt.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/guilt.html Tue, 09 May 2006 18:42:14 -0500 This week is going to be way off schedule. Not just in the sense that workouts are going to be on different days than normal. My work schedule is going to be way out of whack since I have to... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/rearranged_week.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/rearranged_week.html Mon, 08 May 2006 20:12:00 -0500 The first thing that I want to do is to thank every single person who left comments wishing me luck and giving me confidence. It's really amazing how people who I've never met in person can be so incredibly supportive.... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/close_but_no_ci.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/close_but_no_ci.html Sun, 07 May 2006 19:07:42 -0500 There really isn't much to write about as far as today's running goes. An easy four mile shake out in the neighborhoods. Since tomorrow morning requires getting up early to go to the race, sleeping in wasn't such good idea.... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/short_easy_day.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/short_easy_day.html Sat, 06 May 2006 11:24:51 -0500 This week I have been very good about sticking to my taper plan. My body always feels weird when I taper. Some of it is probably mental-I think that if I feel this crappy doing something short and easy, how... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/sticking_with_t.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/sticking_with_t.html Thu, 04 May 2006 19:56:44 -0500 All of us go through the second guessing phase of a taper. The thoughts of losing fitness are there becuase you simply are not doing anything. I'm terrible at tapering, it is most definitely a downfall of mine. I always... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/second_guessing.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/second_guessing.html Tue, 02 May 2006 20:45:25 -0500 Tonight's workout was good but not great. It wasn't the huge workout that I was hoping for to be the last workout before racing on Sunday. As I was doing it, I was definitely happy that we decided to not... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/good_but_not_gr.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/05/good_but_not_gr.html Mon, 01 May 2006 20:15:46 -0500 Candy seems to be a much written upon topic on all of the eliterunning.com blogs. I'm pretty sure that my obsession with the sweet stuff is part of what contributes to yesterday's unhappiness with getting on the scale. Anyhow, in... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/04/our_vices.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/04/our_vices.html Sun, 30 Apr 2006 18:59:59 -0500 This isn't something that I try to write about on a regular basis, although the topic has crept in occasionally. Distance runners and weight have a bad reputation. Personally, I have gone through periods that may be on the other... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/04/a_bit_of_a_wake.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/04/a_bit_of_a_wake.html Sat, 29 Apr 2006 19:30:21 -0500 Today marks the end of my doubling up for the spring season. This morning was my last morning run for several weeks. It was quite brisk this morning, but pleasant for running. I'm sure that I looked kind of funny... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/04/an_ending_and_a.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/04/an_ending_and_a.html Thu, 27 Apr 2006 20:16:07 -0500 Way back when Alison first moved to Medford, she wrote about the difficulty of finding new routes. One of her routes in particular, she described as one where she'd know where to bury a body if she ever needed to.... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/04/ugly_run.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/04/ugly_run.html Wed, 26 Apr 2006 20:04:38 -0500 Since the mileage phase of my season is wrapping up, it must mean that getting up and running is getting easier. It isn't all that hard to get out of bed and get out on the road in 13 minutes... http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/04/yet_another_dis.html http://www.running-blogs.com/blondie/archives/2006/04/yet_another_dis.html Tue, 25 Apr 2006 20:26:05 -0500
