Speechless

Maybe ‘wordless’ would be a more appropriate term. Basically, I just don’t have all that much to say these days. I’ll have ideas for posts, but by the time I sit down at my computer to write, they will have evaporated. I’ve been trying to push myself to write on a semi-regular basis, but all … Conti

I run for Oiselle

I’ve talked before about how much I love Oiselle. I can’t help it–I just can’t resist a company that was founded by a woman, makes a great product, and remains committed to its ideals. That’s why I’m proud to say that I’m a Team Oiselle athlete. To quote from the Oiselle athletes page, The women … C

Junk Miles

I’ve been thinking a lot about junk miles, or junk mileage (whatever you prefer to call it) lately. I’m not sure why it’s on my mind–maybe because I haven’t really been running according to any sort of schedule lately and as a result none of my runs haven’t had an assigned “purpose”. On Friday, I …

Are You Calling Me a Liar?

A couple weeks ago, a friend of a friend hooked me up with a sports psychologist-in-training. She’s working on getting her clinical hours completed, so she’s started counseling. Because I have awesome connections was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, I’ve started meeting with

The Rut Returns

Sitting here at my computer, I’m realizing that it could be worthwhile for me to start keep track of the times when I feel like I’ve fallen into a rut. Is there a pattern? Am I in a rut so often that what I think of as a rut is actually my normal? Maybe I … Continue reading »

I said, “Brr, it’s cold in here!”

Let’s go from talking about shorts and warm weather to talking about the post-run deep freeze phenomenon! The weather’s been all over the place lately, so I feel like my blog topics might as well be, too. There’s something zen in there, right? Being in harmony with nature? A couple weeks ago, puttin

Time for Shorts

I can’t speak for the weather where you are, but here in New York City spring has definitely sprung. Overall we had a very mild winter, so it wouldn’t really be accurate to say that these warmer days are giving us a break from much of anything. Still, though, it’s nice to be able to … Continue readi

(Congratulations!) You’ve been selected

Here’s a fun story: someone somewhere recently mentioned that Fitness magazine was doing one of those “best blog ever!” award things (you know the ones I mean, where they–or someone–nominate the same blogs over and over again and drive traffic to their website by getting people to vote on their favo

Living by the Numbers

Last week, while still in the grips of a very bad few days, I did something I hadn’t done for about two years: I pulled out the scale and weighed myself. I don’t know why I did it. I knew at the time that it was a bad idea, and I hadn’t had too much … Continue reading »

Outside/Inside

This past week has been full of ups and downs (and pretty extreme ones, at that). When the downs first hit, I thought they were just a sign that I’d be getting my period, and that they’d go away (which is what usually happens). Instead, they were just the beginning of an emotional roller coaster–one
