One of my friends, K, has been talking about starting running. She recently had her second baby and she wanted something to get back into shape. She has seen many of our immediate and extended circles begin with Couch 2 5K, finish the journey and move on to the next levels (depending on everyone's ...

couch 2 5k: week 9, day 2 {5.6.2013}
One. More. Session. Eeek! It's probably been a little longer than nine weeks, technically, but in the next day or two, I am going to be an honest to goodness graduate of Couch 2 5K. I am not exactly running a complete 3.1 miles, but I'm thisclose, and I do remember hearing that even if you're ...

I was pretty excited to hit the streets to test drive my new Mizuno Wave Inspires. Oh, and socks. Can't forget the socks. I headed out around 9:30 and it was already pretty hot. I would guesstimate high 80s. I'll acclimate as the summer goes on. Day 2 was a repeat of Day 1: The regular ...
