CLICK HERE FOR THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Saturday, September 13, 2014. Big Cottonwood Marathon (#4). Dear big cottonwood marathon. I am SO glad that is over! Anyway, I signed up for this race (Big Cottonwood) because it touts itself as one of the fastest BQ races around. And that is just what I need - a fast course. That was before they changed the course and made it MUCH tougher! The first 15 are downhill and fast but then it turns and there is an 8 mile out and back that is BRUTAL! Anyway, I...

CLICK HERE FOR THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Wednesday, April 23, 2014. Last Sunday I had a friend ask me if I would be interested in a free bib to run the Salt Lake Half Marathon. He said he had a nephew that couldn't run it and so if I wanted to run it with his bib under his name I could for free. He had me at free! Once I got off Trax, it was still dark and the view was gorgeous! As I headed straight to the porta potties (of course! This is my favorite! The start of this race was so exciting!

Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement. -Steve Prefontaine. A lot of people run a race to see who's the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts." -Steve Prefontaine. Enjoy your pain, you've earned it". The body does not want yo...

CLICK HERE FOR THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Monday, July 5, 2010. Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay 2010. Two weekends ago I ran AND survived the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay. The Wasatch Back is a 188 mile. Relay that begins in Logan and ends in Park City. You must run in a team of 12 and have two vehicles with six team members in each. Each member has three legs. Oh I wish I had THREE legs.it would have made it so much easier! Until you reach the finish line. Yes, that means running in the dark. Stories t...

CLICK HERE FOR THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Wednesday, February 11, 2009. I am still alive really. This winter has been a bigger challenge to keep running for me than last year. Last year I was out in the very freezin' temps nearly every day. I was a he-woman! This year I have been a she-man. Not sure what that means but it seems like it would be the opposite of he-woman and so I am going to use it. Last year my cut off temp was 11 degrees. When I am outside running it isn't an issue how much tim...

Even finished without a stretcher! And got a NEW PR! This penny is more valuable to me than my medal! After four and half months of training, it was finally here! Just a little memory of last year's downpour! This year, I had no fear of rain, just heat. Heat will kill a race (and possibly a racer! I couldn't believe it! That was...

My favorite race because it's a four miler and the route is repeated twice. Oh, and the last mile and a half is up-hill. I always hate it when they do that! I wasn't going to run it this year because I haven't been running as many miles each day lately due to the SWINE FLU. You win a turkey. I was disappointed m...

Do not torture yourself by reading it! Unless, of course, you like pain or to hear about other people's. If you are a runner then you have to know a little bit about math. Math. Mainly that running a half marathon requires only half the training and that you can technically can get prepared for it in half the time. All of my half marathons.
