Seattle 2011

July 6, 2011

We’re back from our annual Seattle trip.  It was another great year – family fun, urban living, good eats, pacific beach, crescent lake… sea level running!  I decided not to run the Seattle Rock n’ Roll half marathon this year.  I ran the race in 2009 and 2010 but after spending the first part of [...]

Back on Barr Trail

May 29, 2011

It’s been a frustrating couple of months with illness (stubborn sinus infection) following injury and me trying to stay patient and positive.   Waking up today, I felt somewhat better and decided to go on the first Barr Trail run of the season this morning.  I figured I’d take it as easy as I needed to [...]

Mods Mother’s Day

May 9, 2011

Mother’s Day in Boulder on a summer-like day…Title 9K (6.1 miles around the Boulder Reservoir) with my babies and a backyard picnic catered by Illegal Pete’s at a good friend’s home.   It was perfect.  I enjoyed running with my daughter and her friends.  My younger son also ran the 9.9K course – but he [...]

another update and some tunes

April 14, 2011

The Colorado Marathon is in just two weeks and being 100% at peace with my decision to bow out this year, I am so excited for my fellow runners (the beans) who have trained with such dedication and resolve.  I am really so proud of them.  And while they are enjoying their taper, I am [...]

the last couple of weeks

April 3, 2011

    Mark and me, our kiddos took a relaxing, fun vacation in San Diego.  The weather could’ve been a little better but we took advantage of the sunny moments and hit the beach whenever we could.     We roamed La Jolla Cove, watched the seals swim to the beach for their naps, shopped, [...]

long road

March 13, 2011

Last week I was given the okay by the (active release technique) ART doctor to start running… slowly and short distances but running nonetheless.    After the last month-and-a half of cautionary advice against all running, this was pretty damn good news! So I left the doctor’s office with a happy, positive attitude.  Somewhere in [...]

injured

February 26, 2011

I have been plagued with calf pain and what seems to be posterior shin splints for about 6 weeks now.   I made the common mistake of running through the pain when it first started and inevitably, I ended up having pain not only while running but it got to the point where I had [...]

the weather outside is frightful

February 2, 2011

I should’ve known that we would have to pay for last week’s spring-like weather.  I ran 16 miles last Friday under the sunniest of skies, 60 + degree temps in my shorts with a feeling of spring time in my step.   Friday seems like a distant memory  now… as I sit in my warm [...]

Hood To Coast: The Movie

January 12, 2011

Everyday People.  Extraordinary Journey The Hood To Coast premiere and one and only showing was last night: 1.11.11.    The movie played in theaters nationally and fortunately one of the showings was in a theater right up the road from me.   The stars aligned and my husband and I were able to take a [...]
