I Wish I could Confidently Say This
In spite of all the work I’ve put into my training, I wish I was confident about my Goal A.
Goals for New Orleans
Plan A – 5:35 Finish at 13:00 paceI’d like to shoot for this, and I think I can achieve it. However, the weather is in the high 60s and I am not confident enough – of both the weather and my ability. I’m retaining this plan however, because you never know! Plan B – 5:45 Finish at 13:15 paceThis is my training pace on the flat this winter. All I have to do is – Run like I trained (starting…

THE place to go if you love witty sayings on comfortable Ts that you can run in. A running skirt with compression shorts underneath that does not give you the dreaded chub-rub(no matter what your…
Oh Yeah …
I signed up for Chicago Marathon again. I honestly don’t know why I did it. I was not going to. I was going to do something else and not touch Chicago with a long pole until 5 years from now. But tons of people from my running group were going to and I caved into temptation. So, there it is. Chicago Oct 7th, 2012.
