And they’re still running today

I wish I could claim to have found this one my own. I am, however, going to spend the next three evenings on google images looking for more retro running pics, because this is so amazing. Continue reading →

Ever I saw your face

Posted on January 20, 2012 | 5 Comments

For those of us in northern climates, winter has arrived. The wind is blowing from the Arctic and runners are bundling up. On runs my cheeks freeze and I lose the ability to make certain sounds – which is fun in that it results in amusing conversations. I’m pretty tough. I’ve never run in a balaclava. I arouse enough suspicion in my ninja gear. Continue reading →

Everyone else is doing it so I’m doing it too. Yes mom, cliff jumping does sound exciting.

Last time I posted my own personal wish list. I’m not ashamed to say I like gifts. This time I’m sharing my Awesome Gift Ideas for Runners Who Have Everything.* Runners like me. Coincidentally.

On the wrong day of the wrong week

Posted on November 12, 2011 | 4 Comments

I bought a new training diary with the faint hope that writing down my runs might actually lead to, oh I don’t know, actual training.  The one I purchased can’t help but inspire the laziest of runner.   Continue reading →

I’d buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress that’s cruel)

Posted on November 1, 2011 | 8 Comments

Running is supposed to be a cheap sport.  It can be.  A couple of pairs of running shoes a year, free roads and trails, and away you go.  Some even argue that real runners head out in 1980s trainers, a cheap white undershirt, high school gym shorts,  and cotton socks from a dollar store 12-pack.  I am not one of those runners.  Continue reading →

See the light that’s right before my eyes
