It seems that the second you cross the finish line of a big goal, immediately the question “what’s next” starts to be asked. This time was no different. I have gotten this question many, many times over the last 11 days and for once I really don’t have an answer. Running 50 miles was my [...]

March
February didn’t stand a chance, even with a couple taper weeks thrown in there. 352.5 miles!! That is a new personal record that I think will be sticking around for a while. March was a busy month with obviously so much running and in some beautiful places! I started the month off with my [...]
February
Remember how close I was to a new monthly mileage high in January? Remember how I really considered going on a 5 mile run just to beat that old high by a fraction? Remember how I said that I decided not to because I had a feeling February was going to be a good month? [...]

I know I say this a lot, but really I do have the best friends. Tomorrow is my birthday and to be honest, I haven’t been that thrilled about it this year. Usually I am one of those yay it’s my birthday people, but this year hasn’t quite been that way. I have really been [...]
Not Just 2012 Goals
We are now 10 days into 2012 and I haven’t talked about goals yet… *gasp* I have a lot of goals for myself, and specifically to be talked about on this blog since it is a running blog after all, a lot of running and athletic goals. I used to sit down at the end [...]
