Going for Gold: Aiming for 5k PR
Tomorrow I am running in the Cornhusker State Games Energy 5k race for the third year in a row. Two years ago, I raced to a silver in my age group. Last year, bronze in my age group. Medal that’s missing? Gold. What does the watch say? Let’s just say the watch is optimistic. Can […]

FollowIf you Give an Ultra Wookie a Cookie…
If you give an ultra WOOKIE a COOKIE (wookies prefer chocolate chip), he’ll ask you for some blended almond milk/coconut milk (50/50) to wash down the cookie. Why? Because like me, this wookie named Chewbacca is lactose-intolerant. Think of the blend as the wookie equivalent of an Arnold Palmer. If you give him the almond/coconut […]

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 […]

Happy Move It Monday! aka “Miler Monday” for me! I’ve discovered that instead of taking Mondays off from working out (old me), I will actually run on Mondays but limit it to a mile (no more than 2). So last night it snowed so today I ran on the treadmill but not very much. Beautiful […]

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 […]

A few weeks ago, we were having a great #RunChat on Twitter when a very interesting question surfaced, something like: do your running clothes smell or stink? Boy, did that trigger some interesting discussion. If one’s running clothes do stink, can you say it’s the clothes’ responsibility instead of the runner? Or is the runner […]

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 […]
