With the build-up to Christmas and the cold weather, it was hard to make myself do anything this week. I did manage to get one short run in, two Body Pump classes, and my Saturday morning long run. I cut my long run short by […]
I started my week with a safety meeting at work on trips and falls. Within 10 minutes of leaving the meeting, I walked outside and tripped over the flowerbed edging. I caught myself on my right foot, and my ankle started hurting. Because I’m clumsy, […]
My Monday run was yucky. It should not be 85 degrees in December! The only good thing about Monday’s run is that the lingering cough finally seems to have moved on. I had to miss one of my Body Pump classes this week, but I […]
I spent most of the week still coughing, but I was able to get all of my scheduled runs done, including my 7-mile (revised) long run on Saturday. It was really slow, because I still wasn’t feeling 100%. I finally got back on track with […]

I’m finally getting over my cold, but I’m still coughing. I had a meeting Monday night, so I wasn’t able to run. Tuesday, I did my usual morning Body Pump class, and then I had time to run after work. I do not like it […]
The cold I mentioned last week hit me with full force this week. As a result, I missed my Monday and Wednesday runs and Tuesday morning Body Pump. After staying home from work Wednesday, I finally started feeling better, and I was able to make […]
And, so it begins… I like to have a long half-marathon training schedule, because I tend to get sick/injured/or otherwise behind in my training. This is my first of 18 weeks training for Cowtown 2018. I’m running the challenge again – the 5K on Saturday […]
I have been really inconsistent in my running since my half marathon in April. First, I always slack off a bit during the summer, because of the Texas heat. But, this summer, I was sidelined by a plantar’s wart of all things. I first noticed […]
