Running in the Humidity and Sleeping Charley Horses

Wow two blog posts in one school year?? This is a new record! I’m serious about trying to make the effort to post more. I haven’t really had much to post about, plus in all honesty the first month of school consists of long hours, stress, and trying to get back into the swing of things. There is little time for anything else. I had to drag myself out of the house for my 20 year high school…

School Starting and Giant Calves

I decided I should probably write in my blog again…the week before school starts. My timing really has never been very good!  I really need to be better this school year about not staying 12 hours a day and going to work on my classroom on Saturdays or Sundays. Once school gets going, I have a tendency to lose myself in the hustle and bustle of teaching and I forget to have a life outside of…

My Hat-Trick and Surgery Decisions

Mostly when they fight. The game itself is okay. I prefer to go watch in person rather than on TV though.

I had wanted to try running a Ragnar since my friend Meredith had run one in the Florida Keys two years before. In Arizona it’s generally the week before the Phoenix Marathon, so the timing has never been right for me. This text came to me literally the day…

Catching Up Part II and The Year in Review

(In case you couldn’t tell I’ve decided I like GIF’s)

I will try to make my year in review as brief as possible…action packed as though it was! My training was going well. I had decided I was going to run the Phoenix Full Marathon again to redeem myself and was following a modified version of Hal Higdon’s training plan.

My first official event of the season was the Women’s Running Magazinehalf-m…

Seems Like Old Times and Catching Up Part 1

Ah…Robin Williams. You will be missed!

It’s been so long since I’ve posted anything, I think I forgot how to do this. Between all my errands today I’ve been playing around with my site and trying to remember how to add and change things!

So my year has been interesting to say the least! I started training again last year for the Phoenix Marathon 2014. I wanted to run the full marathon a second…
