#CrushAsthma

Well, it happened. A minor asthma setback. No not an asthma attack. Last Friday, I visited my asthma doctor for a checkup and thought it would be routine. But I was wrong. Recently, I’ve been using my rescue inhaler more for asthma. Even my running has been more...

Bronzed Middle Ages

Racing through the Middle Ages…I mean my middle ages… First of all, I hope you are not upset at me blending the Bronze and Middle Ages together. I’m not trying to be historically confusing. But I’m middle-aged and well, more about the bronze… Saturday, I ran the Energy 5k as part of the Cornhusker State […]

How to Stay Fit with a Lung Condition.

How to Stay Fit with a Lung Condition....

May the 4th be with You!

Howdy pardners! How are you? It’s Lincoln Marathon weekend and I forgot to taper (HATE TAPERING!), so no marathon running for me this weekend. My daughter and I are volunteering to help for several hours so I’ll be on the giving end of water, sports drinks, gels, and “runner snacks” instead of the receiving end […]

Philippians 4:13 Divine Runlog

Today, on day 135 of my runstreak, I ran a Biblical quantity, 4.13 miles as measured by Garmin Connect and Runkeeper. Ironic: those two measurers almost never align. I was going for a 4 mile run. When I saw the numbers and that they aligned with my favorite Bible verse, Philippians 4:13 (“I can do […]

Beware the STRIDES of March!

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears: Remember the “Beware the IDES of MARCH” line in Julius Caesar (Act I, Scene 2 for us Shakespeare geeks), the famous Shakespeare play? Caesar foolishly ignored the warning of the soothsayer and the rest is history. Well, tomorrow is the Ides of March (March 15). And running is […]

I LOVE YOU RUNNING

Happy St. Valentine’s Day! It is a wonderful day for loving others and yes, for loving running. When did I discover I truly loved running? Probably when I was in my teens (maybe younger), shortly after a doctor told me in junior high no more football, you’re too thin, you’ll get hurt. I was angry […]

RunStreak thru Fatigue

Despite the snowy subzero temps/windchills here, today I’m 80 days into my longest run streak in recent memory (streak began Nov. 19, 2013). How did this happen? This streak was supposed to end after Jan. 1. Not sure I could do this. But fatigue has become an issue. Slamming coffee. Strange blood blister on 1 […]

SunnySnowDog Sneaux Day!

Happy sunny Snow Dog Sneaux Day! We got some snow last night so our daughter and lots of other kids are excited about their snow-or is it sneaux?-day!
