The Get Fit Atlanta group runs on the Silver Comet trail and occasionally we get to see some wild critters. Not as dramatic as the Armadollio, but today’s was a tiny little dead snake on the trail and a little bunny. Overall a good 11 miles as my fallback mileage (I love running “only” 11 miles!). Good average pace, but baaaaaaad chaffing on my bra-line 🙁 A seminar meant that I got to see people from other pace groups too!
Will this make my feet go a little faster? Not 2 extra sets of munchkin feet, but the pedicure with a flower painted on 🙂
My initial mantra to this weekend’s long run was – the less said about it, the better. And then I realized that I was missing out a valuable learning opportunity. While runs like these are dreaded, they are the ones that give a runner a list of what-not-to-do, and how-to-make-things-better. So what went wrong? Well. Rather hard to say. Because it just never fight right from Mile 1. I was having trouble keeping up, which was rather strange because I’m…
I’ve been fascinated by the Tour De France this year, my first year of following the event.

On brutal hills and humidity, I was the sweeper of the group trying to make sure that the last few people made it fine (I didn’t have to do it, but … that’s a new post coming up altogether). The 10 people who “liked” my post – all runners who…
Who goes to a pub and asks for chocolate milk (which I’m surprised they even had in the first place!)? A runner who has just finished a good session of intervals and doesn’t drink beer a.k.a The FauxRunner. That’s who. Ironically – the fastest runner in our group, and the slowest runner, me, asked for chocolate milk instead of beer. Wish sharing a common recovery fuel made me atleast half as fast as him! What is your favorite recovery drink?…
