I’ve missed this…
My longest distance of the year, 7.62 miles. I’m finally getting back in the swing of things. This should have been a 1:20 run. It ended up more like a 1:30 run. That’s ok, except I had somewhere to be … Continue reading →
Almost like Spring…
Memphis weather is so crazy. It can be hot one minute, cold the next, snowy in the morning, and then 60 and sunny that afternoon. It’s absolute madness living here sometimes. But the great thing about it is that it … Continue reading →

So alive…
Today was a day that I felt like I could run forever. It doesn’t happen like that very often at all. But there was something about the subtle wind and the chill in the air that made it seem somewhat … Continue reading →
Training time is upon us…
Thursday was my last, non training, weekday morning run. I’ve been trying to get out at least 2.5 miles (it usually ends up 2.7) because for whatever reason, 3 miles just seems daunting. Maybe it’s because I’ve been alone. This … Continue reading →

In my happy place…
Today was a great day! I was so incredibly happy for 40 degree running weather and sunshine. Days like today are not unlike magic…and quite good for the soul. This morning, a small group of lady Buffaloes headed out to … Continue reading →

Back in action…
Ouch! After having not run since the 1st day of the year, these last two runs (Tuesday and today) have been a bit of a struggle. I only did 2.7 miles each day. I’m easing back in to it. Sadly, … Continue reading →

Celebration tradition
After my first half marathon, I got a celebratory tattoo. It seemed like the biggest accomplishment I’d ever make. I got the outline of the state of Tennessee with a blue paw print over Memphis. Hometown shout out! But I … Continue reading →

I’m over you winter…
With all the rain, cold, and teetering on the verge of sickness the last few weeks, my running has been nonexistent. I can handle 20 degrees, but I woke up the other morning and it was zero. Yesterday it was … Continue reading →

This weekend was a BUST…
So I missed my first race of the year. Sad face. It rained all day, and although it was 60 degrees, I’m that girl who would get sick regardless. I’ve had kind of a scratchy throat and some drainage the … Continue reading →
