half marathon

I think my body may still be recovering from this long weekend of running! Sunday was the second annual Gazelle Girl Half Marathon & 5K in Grand Rapids. It is an all-female event sponsored by Nike to bring awareness and support of Title IX, a 1972 federal law protecting people from discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities, including athletics. I am a huge fan of women

Every year in February we wait for that little ground hog to come up and either see his shadow or not, and make us know whether spring is in the horizon or if we'll be suffering through more winter!

I normally see a photo of me running and think, BAH! AWFUL, every time. This past Saturday though I raced in, Duo On The Ledge, a half marathon in Grand Ledge. I was sent a series of pictures from the race progressing from mile 2 on up to 13. I had to share these mainly because the ones at miles 2,3, and 4, I am down right gleeful... then we get to mile 13 and I look like a dead animal! Read Mo

Just making it to the weekend seems like a victory. Some weekends my victory is simple, maybe I have gotten to see some old friends, or drank some beer and went canoeing (both those things are always awesome!) This weekend though my victory was different. I last minute (literally the night before made this decision) decided to run, Duo On The Ledge; a half marathon in Grand Ledge, MI. Read Mo
