Run like you stole something!
I did it.
I can now check off “Run Marathon” on my life list. I ran a marathon. This was the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life up to this point. My time was off my goal….but man…..I’m glad I finished when I did.
Here is a recap of my Marathon Weekend in […]
T-minus 10
Well, seems I am on the upswing of my cough. Thanks to the narcotic cough medicine that my doctor prescribed….I’m doing pretty well. Last night (in 40 degrees) we ran about 5 miles which seemed a breeze compared to the 13 from Sunday.
Since tonight is Halloween (and my nephew’s birthday) we won’t be running our […]
Can 13 miles make you quit coughing?
I went to the doctor on Thursday and yes, I have some sort of bronchial bug…so I am downing antibotics and cough medicine like it’s GU or Diet Coke. I didn’t run at all last week, due to my cough and doctor advisement. But, I had to run my long run yesterday. I couldn’t just “not […]
T-Minus 21 days
In 21 days, I will be running the Outer Banks Marathon. Last week I ran a total of 42 miles. Twenty plus miles of that was just on Saturday. 14 was on Sunday. Man, am I about tired of running! Saturday was both a high and a low. A high - I just ran freakin 20 […]
Happy Birthday Mom!
I have mixed feelings today. Up until 2001, September 11 was my mom’s birthday. Now the date is shared with a event in history that we will never forget…the attack on the United States…World Trade Center, The Pentagon and Flight 93.
So, in the spirit of my mother’s birthday. I looked up the history of the […]
Go Away Gustav
Not much to write about this blog….just felt like I need to mention this. On the Friday before Labor Day….to honor those workers who helped those in need in New Orleans in 2005 and those who continue to assist…….on the eve of Hurricane Gustav who will put New Orleans in the path of destruction……..Louisana…..you are […]
BEIJING WELCOMES YOU
Friday was the opening ceremonies for the Beijing Olympics. Unfortunately, I was unable to see the opening ceremonies because fortunately, I was vacationing at the Beach!! (this was the first time my husband and I have been to the beach together since our wedding last year!)
But since we are so technologically advanced….I watched the opening ceremonies online!!!
China is […]
I Want To Be Sedated
This is all I can think of when I read Donald Jones blog about his 24 hours of Booty. Our morning anchor just finished the Official 24 Hours Cycling Event of the Lance Armstrong Foundation in Charlotte this past weekend. This event also benefits local cancer initiatives. You can read more about his journey on his […]
Ooh-Rah
My dad is the inspiration for this post. My dad was reading my previous post and suggested a few selections for my running.
He is a Marine….eventhough he is retired….Once a Marine, Always a Marine. A few years ago it was either my brother or my dad that ran across a CD of Marine Corps Cadences. […]
Another Try….26.2
We’ll I’ve decided to give it another try……the marathon…..26.2 miles on my feet…approximately 4 1/2 hours of running/walking……why do I attempt it again, you ask? Motivation and the amazing sense of accomplishment I’ll have crossing the finish line (hopefully not on a stretcher)!
For those who know me, I signed up for the City of Oaks […]
