Say What?
Ever tried doing maths on your runs? Even a simple one like 7+4. Yeah, not the brightest of ideas 🙂
Scared … but Excited
Of course, the first thing I did after I got my official race results from the Resolution Run 5k was to plug the numbers into McMillan’s Running Calculator. The prediction for the longer distances – blows me away! How am I supposed to learn to run 26+ miles at a 12:15 pace!!!! I reckon that I cannot go out and actually run a 5:20 marathon in New Orleans in March; but its a great goal to aspire for, one that…

2011 – The Best and The Worst
Best Running Decision – Joining Get Fit Atlanta when I signed up for Chicago Marathon. What could be more awesome than training with a group of people who run/coach because they love it!

I may have only accomplished plan C, but I had the most fun ever! Best Race Performance – Publix Georgia Half…

2nd Running Anniversary
Dec 24th, Christmas Eve is a day I don’t think I will ever forget. 2 years ago, as the first training day to the ING Georgia Half Marathon, I took my first running step. I whined more than I ran. And I started this blog to keep records and not go insane with all that running. What a madhouse 2 years its been. My first year – I completed the 13.1 miles (crying the last 3 miles in pain), I…
Santa Came Calling – A Little Early, albeight
