Hilly Running Thrills
After running 8 hill repeats today in training for my ultra 50k next month, thought I would write about the challenging thrills of running hills. As you can see from the above training schedule, I’m running at least one hill workout on average (either just hilly or hill repeats). Hills are fun and here is […]

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 labored. I didn’t really think anything of […]

Lately, I’ve discovered an exciting new way of recovering from long runs that is atypical, fast, and therapeutic: the (somewhat dreaded) weekly ICE BATH. At first it seemed crazy because it is so opposite (at least in temperature) to my usual means of recovery: the whirpool. But when I heard from enough people (friends and […]

Wow, it’s been a very difficult, strange week. Hard to believe that the great comic genius Robin Williams is gone. He’s one of the funniest people I have ever known. And he connected with us so strongly with his humanity and down-to-earth personality. His creativity was evident in his work, from movies, to TV shows, […]

How to Stay Fit with a Lung Condition....Downhill Slalom: Long Way Home
DOWNHILL SLALOM! Howdy folks, it’s “downhill slalom week” on my 365-day runstreak. Just reached 183 days today so only 182 days to go to 365. Finally over the hump, past the 50-yard line, seeing the shrinking side of the rest of the year. It has been difficult. Digging deep to find my running core. Above […]

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 […]

From February through April 21, I ran as a participant in the Boston Marathon World Run. I teamed up with a friend from Guatemala on GottaRunGT team. I pledged to try to run/walk at least 485 miles (yes, the walking miles counted). I reached that distance about a week before the Boston Marathon, realizing I […]

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 […]
