http://runninginpearlsgirl.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
From Chubby Girl to Runner Girl. My running challenges and adventures. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. My goal for 2011? To run (and finish) the Georgia Marathon half marathon in March. This is going to be tough, as winter weather is about to roll in to my area.and it won't leave until well in to March (if we're lucky). So here goes nothing. I am going to run in the cold and snow.and along the way I will have some interesting stories about running in my neighborhood! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Running in Pearls: What a difference a year makes
http://runninginpearlsgirl.blogspot.com/2011/03/what-difference-year-makes.html
From Chubby Girl to Runner Girl. My running challenges and adventures. Friday, March 11, 2011. What a difference a year makes. Today I ran two slow miles since I still have achy feet! Mile number two always seems to be the "magic mile" for me, meaning, when I run I am usually miserable for the first two miles and then it's like a flip is switched and I get in the zone and love it. Of course, on long runs I always fall out of the zone but usually can get back in to it around the nine mile mark.

Running in Pearls: February 2011
http://runninginpearlsgirl.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
From Chubby Girl to Runner Girl. My running challenges and adventures. Sunday, February 20, 2011. 10 miles down, 28 days to go. The half marathon is 28 days from today! This week's ten mile run was a struggle. Both my running pal and I were feeling under the weather and, speaking of weather, after a beautiful week of ideal running temperatures, the weather changed and it was a cold (but sunny) run day. Ten miles is the longest distance I've ever run and I am pretty darn proud of it! It's a miracle someon...

Running in Pearls: Resolutions and a Resolution Run
http://runninginpearlsgirl.blogspot.com/2010/12/resolutions-and-resolution-run.html
From Chubby Girl to Runner Girl. My running challenges and adventures. Wednesday, December 29, 2010. Resolutions and a Resolution Run. I remember the first time I ran a full 3.1 miles when training for that 5k - I seriously wanted to die.and woke up the next morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck! These days, I run six or seven miles and go about my day. I know I still have work to do to get to 13.1 but fully believe I can do it. So, Georgia Marathon. Here I come to run your half marathon!

Running in Pearls: Nine miles: What keeps me going
http://runninginpearlsgirl.blogspot.com/2011/02/nine-miles-what-keeps-me-going.html
From Chubby Girl to Runner Girl. My running challenges and adventures. Saturday, February 12, 2011. Nine miles: What keeps me going. Had it not been for some unexpected snow on the roads, today's nine mile run would have been.well, pretty easy! It was great, I felt great - except for the times I was running in slush/snow uphill! I am feeling confident with the half marathon a mere 36 days away. However, I have to tell you that this morning when the alarm went off I was not a happy camper. Here I am on th...

Running in Pearls: Hitting the wall: 12 miles
http://runninginpearlsgirl.blogspot.com/2011/03/hitting-wall-12-miles.html
From Chubby Girl to Runner Girl. My running challenges and adventures. Sunday, March 6, 2011. Hitting the wall: 12 miles. T-minus two weeks until the big half marathon! Today was our final long run - 12 miles - and let me tell you, it kicked my butt! I hobbled home, showered, put on my pajamas and have been reapplying the Icy Hot ever since. Despite my misery, I do feel accomplished. I never thought I would run 12 miles and, sure enough, I did today! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Single, Broke and ...

Running in Pearls: Charity Running
http://runninginpearlsgirl.blogspot.com/2011/03/charity-running.html
From Chubby Girl to Runner Girl. My running challenges and adventures. Wednesday, March 9, 2011. With the half marathon 11 days away, I am nursing some sort of foot pain. I managed to run two miles today - though they were quite slow - and I am a little concerned that the pain from Sunday's run is still with me. I plan to stop by a running store tomorrow to talk to the pros about inserts for my shoes to help ease the pain. Team and run to raise funds for ACS. I'm looking for sponsors. However, I think I ...

Running in Pearls: The countdown is on!
http://runninginpearlsgirl.blogspot.com/2011/02/countdown-is-on.html
From Chubby Girl to Runner Girl. My running challenges and adventures. Thursday, February 10, 2011. The countdown is on! In 36 hours I will embark on my longest run to date - nine miles. Not like I'm counting or anything. Normally after a long run I feel invigorated! I have so much energy and feel like I could do anything. Not last weekend. Rather than bouncing around town, I sat curled up on the couch feeling like I had been hit by a truck. I don't know how people tolerate running on that track!
