Two runs in one day completed. Who would have thought that I would ever do that! A few days ago, my friend Jennifer said she was feeling better and would like to resume running with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (We’ve run together a few times recently and we used to run together as part of the Luke’s Locker training…

Double run weekend x2
Double run weekend two weekends in a row! My running schedule has been pretty steady since I first started running. I run on Tuesdays, Thursdays and once on the weekends. This seems to be about what my body can handle as I’ve never really been injured and I’ve been running over 2 years now. For the past 2 weekends, however, I…
Tuesdays on the Run and 5k race recap
Tuesdays on the Run Linkup: (The linkup is hosted by Erika of MCM Mamma Runs, Marcia of Marcia’s Healthy Slice and Patty of My No-Guilt Life. Don’t forget to visit their sites!!) The Tuesdays on the Run subject this week is FAVORITE HOMETOWN RACE. It is difficult for me to choose because I am still a relatively new runner. I love the…
Houston Marathon weekend and Expo
. Houston Marathon weekend: Last weekend was crazy busy here in Houston. Imagine the city’s biggest sporting event that reaches across the city and spreads out over 2 days. Marathon fever was here and it was great weather for running. My friend Shelley and I usually run on Sundays but we decided that neither of us would be able to…
Fastest run again, slowly improving my speed
Fastest run…Yesterday was my weekly run with my friend Shelley at Memorial Park. I was a little out of sorts because we usually run in the morning, but we had to postpone to the late afternoon. Running later in the day is harder for me as I really don’t know what to eat before a later run. My normal routine…
Feedback on my blog and my fastest short run!
This past week, I decided I needed get some honest feedback on my blog. I posted on the Facebook group “Slow Runners Community” asking members to to read my blog and provide some honest feedback. This was difficult for me because I know that I needed some feedback but it’s scary putting my writing out there, knowing that it won’t…
Year of Running 2017
My year of running 2017 edition! Best race experience: Disney Star Wars Light Side in January 2017. It was my favorite because my whole family participated in the 5k (with the exception of my SIL who has a medical reason not to run). Even my mother, who is in her late 70s, did the 5k! Best run: The day that I…
Fastest run 2-4 miles to date
Fastest run! Today was my regular Sunday run at Memorial Park with my friend Shelley. The weather was brisk but a good temperature for a run (around 50 degrees). Cold enough for a long sleeved shirt layer at the beginning but once I warmed up, I took off the long sleeved shirt and just ran in my short sleeved shirt…
PB – Four mile run without any walk breaks!
Today was a banner day (PB) for me in my run training. I wasn’t feeling too great this morning when I awoke. My sinuses were killing me and I had a bit of a headache. So the first thing that I did was take some sinus medication. Then I made some tea and toast with almond butter (which is my…
30 Nov 2017: A VERY GOOD run
I thought today was just another typical morning run. Meaning I didn’t really want to get up out of bed and I certainly wasn’t looking forward to running. In fact, I was kind of thinking to use yesterday’s flu shot as an excuse to just stay in bed a little longer… BUT, I did get out of bed and drove…
