Well, over a week has gone by since my last blog post and yikes! I have been really bad about this lapse! Running was so so last week so I guess I have not been too excited about blogging/running but after a weekend trip away to visit family, I feel ready to start a new … Continue reading »

training plan decisions…
Well, I am nine weeks out until my 10k and I am having a little bit of a dilemma with my training plan. When I originally decided to run the Crescent City Classic in April, I downloaded a training guide from the race website and followed the base building phase. But when the "speed" … Continue reading »
excuses…
Okay, my family has officially come back to life after the great stomach bug of 2011….ok, it was really not that bad but it felt like it took a lot out of me. So….this week, I have run a total of 8 miles, all of which have been with the jogging stroller. Props to all … Continue reading »
when life happens…
After my mom, daughter, and I took little weekend getaway last weekend to Alabama to visit my cousins and her kids, I came back Sunday to beautiful weather in South Louisiana.

weekly recap

going a little stir crazy?
So, between the cold weather and feeling sick, I have been staying inside and resting a lot. With the exception of going to work yesterday, I have not left the house that much and have not run since Tuesday…eek! No runs, staying inside all day with a toddler, and gray, cold, gloomy weather = one … Continue reading »
pre-race jitters?
I was all set to wake up Wednesday morning for my six mile run. I went to bed with my throat bothering me and woke up at night and the next morning all achey, hot/cold, and just feeling run down in general. The temperature in South Louisiana dropped dramatically and we are experiencing some really … Continue reading »
thoughts on turning 31…
Workout: 4 miles (Garmin died mid-run so not sure about pace). I turned 31 yesterday and despite having to go to work for a couple of hours, had a lovely birthday. My husband and I celebrated my birthday last weekend over dinner and drinks, so yesterday was low-key but nice. I got to enjoy coffee … Continue reading »
