week 79: when running is therapy

the ugly side of summer running

fear

where my head is in competition with everything else

September 4, 2014      23 Comments

I feel like I am at the part of training where the physical training is starting to lose some ground to the mental. Physically: it's just running. One foot in front of the other, over and over and over again. It's shorter miles during the week, in preparation for longer mileage on the weekends. ...

release of fear

July 25, 2014      20 Comments

When I was growing up, there was a pretty irritating phrase I heard semi-regularly. "Can't is won't." I probably don't have to tell you how much I dreaded hearing those words. Not that I didn't try hard or that I was a slacker. But there were things with which I really struggled (especially ...

the one where i have an emotional breakdown

Warning. This is not going to be an upbeat post. I'm struggling and need to vent. I haven't been running since Sunday. It doesn't mean that I haven't been active. I've fit in a power yoga session, and I spent two more days criss-crossing Disney World (11 hours in Hollywood Studios and five ...

Today marks one more week of running until I am shut down for 14 days. On the one hand, I'm excited that I'll have made it through six of the nine weeks of the training program. On the other... I am not looking forward to no physical activity. Grumble, grumble, whine. Week 5 was defined as a ...

5-10K: week 2, day 1 {5.17.2013}

May 18, 2013      11 Comments

For exactly 51% of today's 20 minute tempo run, I HAD it. I was in a groove. My mind was empty. I was focused on my music and the sound of the wind. My pacing was right around the 10 minute mile mark. Magical. And then my brain kicked in and put the kibosh on it all. It's so frustrating, ...
