And here we are. We have reached the point of our journey where there are no more intervals. There is just running. I guess we could pretty much call it the point of no return. I can't believe I made it this far. It has been a long, long time since I used to run and I'm not going to lie. ...

couch 2 5k: week 6, day 3 {4.7.2013}
I cannot believe Couch 2 5K will be over in three weeks! It seems like just yesterday I was rolling my eyes at having to run for one minute. And on the last day of Week 6, I ran for 22. Twenty-two straight minutes. Color me shocked. Not only that, but I ran for almost two miles. My ...
couch 2 5k: week 6, day 2 {4.3.2013} & happy 50 mile-versary

couch 2 5k: week 5, day 2 {3.27.2013}. treadmill edition
Wednesday marked my first treadmill experience. I'm hoping it will be my last. I was pretty certain that the low point of my week was going out in public (and carrying on a lengthy conversation with little man's teacher in the aisle of the grocery store) in yoga pants that were inside out. (That ...
the race bug
Fact. I am only in Week 5 of training. Fact. I have not actually run a complete 5K at this time. Fact. I want to sign up for All The Races. I don't know what's wrong with me. I thought I would select a 5K (done) and a longer race, say a 10 miler or a half marathon (also done), and ...
