Going to keep this short, because I need my brain to decide whether I should eat and then sleep...or sleep and then eat. Yes, Rock to Victory was Sunday morning. It was a wonderful race, a perfect day for running....
Again, my name; Chris's words. Read on... 1. Know the course. 2. Warm up for 15 minutes. The race starts at 8 a.m. Do a 15 minute jog/walk/short bursts (in that order) at 7:30, allowing enough time for a 2nd...
Debbie Fetterman's Friday column says about 1,800 of us have signed up to run the Rock to Victory half marathon on Sunday. Read Debbie's column here. That means there are plenty o'spots left. So if you're contemplating...think you really are...
This is another post, not by me as the name above implies, but by guest blogger Chris Phelan: running and triathlon coach, whose enthusiasm his words merely hint at. I've done just about everything while volunteering. I have been a...
So you've been training, running those long miles and short miles and tortuous and fun ones -- all in preparation for the March 15 Rock to Victory? But -- omg. Have you actually REGISTERED? Better do so now; registration closes...
Tuesday night's schedule called for half-mile intervals -- speeeedy ones, about a minute under goal pace -- separated by 1:56 minutes of rest. (I don't make these numbers up; I just follow them). (If you just now walked into class,...
So how many of you HAVE signed up for Rock to Victory on March 15? It's $65 through March 6; register by clicking here. I had an AOK, no-great-shakes workout yesterday. Ran three miles (yeah, a shuffle-shuffle three). Then jumped...
After finishing my slow three this morning, I ate a banana and it occurred to me: My nephew must've finished the Austin Half Marathon minutes earlier!! 'Twas his third half, his first on the starting line without me. So I...
OK, I know this isn't the kind of thing I should do on a regular basis. But I had a perfectly good reason for splitting up my long run today: My cousin, Doug. How often do I get to see...
When one hasn't quite lived up to one's expectations on a certain run, one tends to be a bit apprehensive about the next tough run on the schedule. Not that aforementioned "one" = "me" of course. OK, of course it...
After my not-so-great run on Tuesday (which, in retrospect, wasn't quite so awful), I had an easy day yesterday. Buoyed by your helpful comments (which for the most part convinced me I am not a total failure) ;-) I headed...
Ya' know how sometimes, even when you're nervous about something, you feel in your heart of hearts it's going to turn out just fine? And it does? That worked for me last week when I spoke to the Book Browsers...
I am more goal-oriented when it comes to working out than in any other aspect of my life. That said, after finishing the Dallas White Rock (half) Marathon, I needed something else to train for. My friend Laura and I...
