I am so backwards. Why? ok...here is what I mean: Saturday weather: cold, windy, approx 35 degrees w/ snow flurries. Ugly outside.
Where did I run? OUTSIDE!
Sunday weather: about 45 degrees at running time of about 1pm. blue skies. sunny. Where did I run? INSIDE on TREADMILL
?? Go Figure
I don’t really have an intelligent reason here. However, I did feel like I went out in some very unfavorable conditions yesterday and that can only be to my benefit, mentally and physically. 7+ miles on treadmill today sure seemed long, but I was happy listening to my iPOD and watching NCAA Men’s Basketball on the tube. I’m ready for some March Madness and hopefully, I will have some good picks and even more luck.
Feeling ok about the running....I have not been running as many miles as I "should" for upcoming ING, but I am getting there...
Train Smart
Have Fun

A little wrap
I got dressed, went outside and said aloud, "well, hello gorgeous!"
March 2: 6 miles/59:04/9:51 pace
March 1: 4.3 miles/42:43/9:56 pace
Feb 29: 2.5 miles/21:35/8:38 pace
Feb 26: 2.5 miles/20:18/8:07 pace
I need to get a massage! Slept horrible last night so was glad to get in 6 miles today. Toyed around with going for a bike ride as well, but I will save it.
I read in my new running magazine that Lance Armstrong will be running in Boston next month, with an aim at 2:45. He was just over 2:46 in NY last fall. Go Lance! (He'll be running to collect donations for his foundation LIVESTRONG.ORG, which as done a lot of good things.)
On personal note, I have become involved with the Lupus Foundation and am collecting donations for the Georgia Chapter of the Foundation. I'm excited to be a part of this and hope to raise money and awareness through my participation in the ING Half-Marathon on March 30th. The link is on the right side of page if you are interested.
Cheers and Train Smart!

Feb 17 - 10.27 mile BIKE RIDE - streets of Atlanta
Feb 16 - 34 min run-streets of NYC
Feb 15 - 22 min run
Feb 12 - 2.25 miles/19:30
Glad to be back home after the trip to NJ. Was able to sneak in a brief stint in NYC. I met up with fellow blogger pal, JOSH. It was great to finally meet. His level of fitness and excitement for training are inspiring and I was psyched to sit with him over coffee. Selfishly, I want him to meet me up at JFK 50 Miler this year, but I also want him to get into KONA TRIATHLON!!
As previously mentioned, I was able to run outside on the streets of NJ. And before I left town on Saturday, I was able to run through the streets of Manhattan.
2 more states to add to my growing list of states I have run in for racing and/or training purposes.
Cheers and stay healthy!

catching up
“There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.”

I am currently in the middle of a 2 week work trip in New Jersey. Most of my runs in the week have been on treadmill since by the time I get done with work, it is cold and dark outside. Thankfully, I got to run outside today. It was cold and windy, but I just had to get some fresh air and feel the wind on my face. Tough, but also very refreshing.
All I can say about what I've seen of New Jersey is you can mark it off of your must-see places. Absolutely nothing here!
Stay Strong and Fit.

Last week, I finished watching "RUNNING ON THE SUN" and here are some words I would use to describe it: amazing, inspiring, unbelievable, AWE-some, sometimes scary(when some folks got really sick) and sometimes disgusting (all the coverage of the nasty, blistery toes/feet)
If you have not seen this movie and you are in any way an athlete, I think you want to watch this film. Some amazing people participated AND finished the grueling run. WOW. WOW. WOW. I couldn't help but feel emotional as I watched some of them cross the finish line. I felt like I was there with them on their journey...that's how much the movie pulled me in.
If anyone wants to borrow it, I am happy to lend it out. Just let me know.
Happy Trails!!
