Changes are afoot. All good, yet still full of stress in one way or another. I just need to make it through the month and things will get better. Isn’t that what we always say? The sun will some out tomorrow? Regardless, I’ve started running a bit more. I’ve been outside on my trail, and [...]

Tuesday morning I was running on the Treadmill in my new Sprints. The material behind the left ankle is a bit tight still and I didn’t have a blister bandage with me.   At first I took a paper towel and placed it in the shoe for cushion. It was very uncomfortable. Then it occured [...]

gravel trail run in Vibram FiveFingers

I started running in my pretty Gel Kayano Asics April ’08. Ran a bit. Forward to November ’08 hubby bought me pair of Salmon Ultras for trail running in the winter. Ran the trails a lot and really liked the feel of the Salmons. During my marathon training the 18+ milers killed my toes in [...]

Completed my weekly long run Sunday. It was a 14 mile out & back on a paved trail. I wore my KSOs of course. My running partner and I both had a pretty bad week prior. I let her lead the pace because she runs for stress relief. I usually don’t, but had so many [...]

Sunday morning S. came over for our Long Run in the trails around where I live. It was a great run! Our overall pace was comparable to our flat-surface pace, maybe about 40 sec under. We ran nine miles through a variation of trails. I was in my KSOs, of course. I hit one rock that [...]

One of my cats is headed into surgery today. She has Feline Corneal Sequestra in her right eye. Her litter-mate brother had the exact same thing in BOTH of his eyes last year, and went through surgery. He recovered well. The cats are now about six years old. It can be contageous but my oldest [...]

I am fortunate to live is a semi-suburb area that is surrounded by trails. People drive to where I live to walk, run, bike and horseback. It took me two years before I ventured out into my own backyard for some trail walks, eventual runs and now running in my FiveFingers. I live on a [...]

I hadn’t realiased how many old posts I had. Currently I’ve transfered over 103 entries. I’ve even left smaller posts out. Entering posts on +smoking rants (back when I still smoked over 3 years now) has been interesting to read and remember how I used to be. I was so adamant about my right to [...]

My first 5K event: IronGirl Seattle, WA

Last week I was scanning the Northwest:: Running Events site looking for a 5K to run. Chip timing was important, as I was very curious about my ‘race pace’ since I’ve never raced. I don’t have a pace/time device (yet) and on the gym treadmill I’ve been going by mph and have only recently discovered [...]
