This weekend was a great one. I met a bunch of Colorado bloggers on Friday night: From left to right: Heather, Courtney, Lynne, Tiffany, Lauren, me and Heidi. Picture stolen from Tiffany. We went for sushi happy hour and then to see The Vow. Now you know I must have wanted to meet [...] Most of my running in Denver has been around a lake by my house (Sloan’s lake). I have a nice 3.5 mile loop that takes me through my neighborhood to the lake. It’s nice to see the mountains, the water and the wildlife. I’m not crazy about the geese (I feel like they’re going [...] I finally have a marathon training plan! Can you sense my excitement?? Clearly, I’m a girl that needs some direction in my life. My coach at Runner’s Edge sent a training plan for my goal race (The Colfax Marathon) with 5 different training levels. They differ by goals and by experience, from wanting to [...] One of my goals for the year was to join a running club. Not only to meet people, but also because I feel like my running hasn’t improved much lately. After all, my half marathon PR still stands from my first half in 2008 – about a year after I started running! I researched [...] Week one in Denver has been pretty friggin’ awesome. I’ve had fun with friends (so happy that fellow former DC blogger Lauren is here!), explored parks and the biggest dog park you have ever seen, and started a fun, new job. It has a completely different culture than my old company, in all the [...] It has been exactly one week since my last day of work in DC and a lot has happened. The good: I had a last crazy weekend out in DC. Thanks to my friends for coming out. And an especially big thank you to our NYC friends Colleen, Dave and James who drove down [...] (Don’t forget to enter my re-name the blog contest!) In the last few weeks I have been working out less than usual. On the one hand, it looks like my next training cycle will start in the beginning of February, so I really should enjoy this downtime. And I have certainly been enjoying it. [...] Have you ever played high-low? It’s basically a way to catch up with someone by telling him or her the best part of your day (the high) and the worst part of your day (the low). Here are some of my high-lows of the week: High workout: My first mid-week run in way too long. [...] Today I was supposed to run the Hot Chocolate 15k. At around 4:15, I turned off my alarm and decided to go back to sleep. I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve signed up for a race and didn’t show up (with the exception of being injured). I was dreading the race all [...] I hope you all had a wonderful holiday week(end). Mine was filled with food, family, crazy dogs and lots of driving. We drove to and from Rochester, and also a side trip to Ithaca so my brother-in-law Tim could visit Cornell (he applied there early, send him good luck vibes!). In the [...] |
