Solstice Run

July 1, 2011

How is your summer running?  Have you found some great 5K’s, 10K’s, 1/2 and full marathons?  There certainly are alot to choose from! I loved doing the Solstice Run in little Northville, Mi!  Still only able to run a 5K and even at that my time was pathetic!  Speed has improved since the stress fracture, but each [...]

Flirt with Dirt

June 13, 2011

Well, I sorta-ran Running Fit’s Flirt with Dirt; a trail run on an unkept wooded trail with ankle deep mud, tree roots and an ending stretch of trail UP a sledding hill.  Was it fun? You bet, it was !  Just being out there was such a boost to me. My time?  We won’t talk [...]

Dexter-Ann Arbor Run

June 6, 2011

Yesterday was the Dexter-Ann Arbor Run, and they ran without me…all 7,000 of them.  I must confess that, at first, I hoped the weather would be really crummy, so I would not feel so bad about missing it…:)  But, then I thought about all of those 7,000 runners who would be there, and asked God to [...]

Sports Injury

May 1, 2011

I am “bummed!”  I am more than “bummed,” whatever that is! I am five weeks away from running the half marathon in the Dexter-Ann Arbor Run, and my trainer + physical therapist + running coach have all grounded me… I wouldn’t listen to just one of them; all three had to tell me that the pain [...]

Boston Marathon~Here I Come

April 18, 2011

Today was the 115th Boston Marathon.  I had three friends compete in it this year; they were awesome!  Leslie finished at 3:43:32, Dina at 3:24:55 and Betsy at 3:46:54.  They are so impressive, that I want to become “one of them!” So, mark your calendars, everyone; I intend to compete two years from today!  Can’t [...]

A Quote for Runners :)

March 4, 2011

I don’t recall where I first read this quote, nor do I know who wrote.  I do know that I absolutely must share it with you!  Here goes: THE MIRACLE OF RUNNING IS THAT WITH EACH WORKOUT, EACH STEP, YOU ARE BECOMING A DIFFERENT PERSON – STRONGER, CERTAINLY, BUT ALSO MORE INVESTED IN LIFE AND [...]

Setting Your Intentions?

March 1, 2011

It is March!  I am a happy camper!  The winter, here in Michigan, has been one of the coldest and snowiest (is “snowiest a word?) in history.  And…for those of you who know me…I don’t “do snow.”  Until this year…I still can’t believe I am running outside in the cold and ice and snow AND loving it!  [...]

Boston?

February 8, 2011

Last night I checked to see what the “time” would be for me to qualify for the Boston Marathon at age 65 (which will be Sept. 5, 2012).  Not to far away!  The “time” to qualify is 4:45.  That is about a 10 minute mile!  Heck, I can run that now…just not that far…YET! So, that [...]

Still Winter, Still Running

February 1, 2011

It is February 1st!  Where did January go???  I probably ran so fast, that I flew right by it I did run in January; every Saturday morning, outside, in the snow and the cold.  I wish I could say that I loved it, and truthfully, if it were not for the ice on the trail, I would! So, [...]
