- I Survived Crossfit!
Friday the 13th. (Insert horror music here.) Of all days to choose for our trial session for CrossFit, who was the dumb fool who scheduled such a nerve-wracking, lung-busting, sweat-inducing workout on the most ominous day of the year?! Oh wait, that was me! Good thing I dragged along 10 innocent TBR readers, plus a [...]
- Olivier Bernhard Coaching Triathlon Camp
If you’re serious about triathlon, then you’ll get excited about this upcoming event: Olivier Bernhard Coaching Triathlon Camp. I know I am! I’m blocking my entire 1st half of 2012 for triathlon training, so this comes at the perfect time. Olivier Bernhard is a professional triathlete from Switzerland, three-time duathlon World Champion, and six time [...]
- Marathon Revelations
Do you want to know who a person really is? What makes him tick? Have him sign up for a marathon and his true self will be revealed. After observing hundreds of runners toil away for months on end while training for their first marathon, I have enjoyed what marathon training offers: a glimpse into [...]
- Life Happens
While the rest of the world was at Camsur Marathon over the weekend, Hubby and I rushed Little Miss TBR into the E.R., watched a mascot go naked before our eyes, and showed up 30 minutes late for our regular Sunday long run with friends over the weekend. SICK ON HER 6TH Little Miss TBR counted [...]
- BACK TO BACK HARD DAYS
So, the TBR Dream Marathoners should have run their most crucial long run yesterday. Many of us ran at NUVALI together (click HERE to view how much fun we had there), but the heat was so intense by 7 a.m. that some runners fell short of their goal distance or time. We all know they [...]
- Perfect Saturday Run
Last Saturday, Hubby and I woke up early in the morning eager to get dressed for our date. That’s a date for a long, slow run with running friends, that is…
- What’s in Your Bag?
Having left a ton of stuff before yesterday’s run, I thought I’d prepare a Running Checklist to avoid little mishaps in the future and to help newbie runners determine what to dump (or remove) from their bags before a workout…
- Forgetful Jones
My sister and i often joke about how forgetful we’ve become ever since we were injected with anesthesia during our children’s births. We forget a story midway through a conversation, we leave one or two items more often than we would like to admit…
- Double Training Day
As corny as it sounds, the greatest gift this blog has given me was the opportunity to meet people who share the same passion for running as I do. Yesterday, I realized that I started and ended the day with some of these people with whom I have had the good fortune of training (and [...]
- To Pee or Not To PR
To pee or not to PR, yes, that is my question. As I mentioned in a previous post, in the much too green November 2008 issue of Runner’s World (page 44 for those of you who have a copy), they said that “one or two cups of coffee or tea an hour before a [...]
