Posted on 24 September, 2009 by Sally

Woke up early and ran and felt amazing…Dawg came with and acted like a doggy rock star. Will soon have running about which to post… Not looking forward to Portland at all. I don’t see how I could possibly do … Continue reading →

Posted on 16 July, 2009 by Sally

That was my workout today. It’s supposed to make me faster. Yep. Fuh real. I somewhat “enjoyed” my workout and was pleased and proud at the end, but damn, it’s hard to actually engage yourself with 7 x hill. It … Continue reading →

Lost? Or Amazing….

Posted on 12 July, 2009 by Toots

I’m a little lost about my running right now. I’m running because I can’t stop. And putting the heat aside, my runs have been coming along quite well and have actually been rather “pleasant”. I’m following the usual marathon training … Continue reading →

Well.

Posted on 13 December, 2008 by Sally

Lumpy, G, and I ran a 2.7-ish run today. I felt the need to go hard, so Lumpy may say that I tried to kill him, but I can’t run every run at his pace, can I?!?! We’re now staying … Continue reading →

18…no, not “feeling” it

Posted on 13 October, 2008 by Toots

I came down to Minneapolis to visit, eat, paddle and run with The Sally & The Lumpy.  The visit?  Long overdue.  The eating?  Always the greatest pleasure (thanks, Lumpy, for tending to us all weekend long!).  The paddling?  Out of … Continue reading →

Slow week…NOT!

Posted on 6 October, 2008 by Toots

I missed my 2 longer runs (an 8 and a 12 miler) for week #12.  Too much to do, I simply ran out of time.  As some of you know there was a sudden change to my itinerary this past weekend…instead of … Continue reading →

The treadmill in Houston isn’t any better.

Posted on 4 October, 2008 by Toots

Have I mentioned how much I dislike running on the treadmill?  I’m sure there was time somewhere…but I don’t know where it went.  I ended up running my 4 miler on the treadmill at the apartment complex gym.  It wasn’t good, it … Continue reading →
