2016 Race Schedule

Another year, more challenges. Let's hope health issues are behind us and the only worries are race times. Although, why worry about race time? It's all about being grateful that we can get outside everyday and enjoy daily exercise. "The chance to know yourself in weakness and strength, and to persevere. ... to confront your own lions, and be your own hero." What's on tap for this year? So far, this is what I have scheduled. March 5, 2016: Myrtle Beach Marathon. This is my 12th state and 21 marathon since 2010. Wow! These legs have seen some miles! Recap [...]

A Girl Trip

Just the girls road trip to South Carolina. Sue did all the driving because I’m a turd and hate driving. In my defense, I did not sleep ONCE while we were on the road. Zoey on the other hand poked her head into the front seat every couple of hours when it was time to walk and stretch and do other things that dogs (and people) need to do. We’re enjoying a visit with Mum and Dad as well as the hot weather while the North East is suffering through a dreaded cold spell. Check out those morning temperatures! Zoey [...]

Potato Pancakes aka Bramboracky

Just a little recap about the Heart Run (found HERE): The money raised was OVER $1 MILLION this year! Fantastic. Ted and I must have been slow because there WERE runners out, it’s just that we missed them. Oh well…. Today’s recovery run of 8 miles went a whole lot better than expected. No soreness and enough energy to push on through. Not completely confident about my running times and going into Boston but I’m holding on to all hope that when the weather warms and I can put on lighter shoes, less clothing, and run on clear roads, my [...]

Bicycle Repair: How To Change a Flat Tire Garmin Edge 800 Cycling Computer This article came to my email from TriVillage.com. They must know that I won't venture out on my bike without Ted. I've had so many flat tires with no clue how to change the thing. If it wasn't for Ted, I'd still be out there roaming the streets, walking my bike home. So read on friends and if you have anything to add, please comment. Changing the Tire on your Bike: Regardless of whether you are a mountain biker or road cyclist, chances are good that if you [...]

Millet Casserole with Fresh Tuna Morsels

Catching up: Running is going well. Marathons are fast approaching. Boston 2014 sign up is September 11 for me. Hope I can get in. Hope it’s still open?!!! I’m tapering down this week and next in preparation for Rochester Marathon on September 22nd. This training season hasn’t been bad at all. No stress. Not too many aches and pains. No really long mileage weeks. I think I had one week at 63 but the rest were low 50’s. Most eventful run: A month or so ago when Shane and I were racking up miles in the thunder and lightening, tree [...]
