Puttin it in the Books

So I did it…..I signed up for the Wisconsin Marathon this coming May..and I didn’t hurl. I saw Skip got paid..knew the race opened on the 15th….tap tap click and it was finished. Now if only my training goes that easy. I need to hammer out some details for the training plan…….I think I’m going to do my own again….but I’m certain it will include at least one run of full race distance. I know most plans don’t include this…….but I HAVE to know what it’s going to feel like..that’s just how I roll.



In race news…my brothers first race is this Wednesday so our final training run is in the morning. The good thing about running races with your newbies is that it takes the pressure off of you to some extent. Yes I want to PR..I want to finally bury the 28 minute 5K because I know I can…but I’m just as if not more so interested in getting done so I can watch them finish. The good news? They’ll have an instant PR because it’s their first one. The bad news? I have one bitchin chest cold that is still kicking my ass 1.5 weeks in. I’ve got 3 days to loose that or I’m guessing any chance of a PR for me is history.


In football news…V’s team got spanked on Thursday night but he did get plenty of play time. I got a little squirrely when I saw him take a bad hit from a dude that probably had him by 100 pounds no joke….but he got right back up and went again. Proud of that boy……plays with his heart…just like he runs.


In cross country news….Dom has his first meet this Thursday. He’s running the 1.5 mile and is pretty excited. The coach from last year must have done some research over the summer because she’s working these kids like she should…good for her. Dom does his share of bitchin but I keep telling him that it will pay off come meet day.


In barefoot news…I’ve run 3 times sans shoes..the last time being last night with Dom who also ran barefoot. We did 1.6 miles and it felt pretty good. They aren’t kidding about using muscles that have been sleeping because I could really feel it later that night and again today during my run. It’s good though..something different…I wonder if doing this as one of my weekly runs..or as an extra run…will do anything about my funky pronation…because you really can’t pronate when you don’t have shoes on…at least I don’t think you can. I need to do more reading.


In school news….all three kids seem to be doing well. Lil T is thoroughly enjoying kindergarten and seems to have taken the school by storm. She wants to be a Daisy…lord help me.


Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’m off to enjoy my husband that I just retrieved from D.C. this afternoon.

  1. Yay for signing up for a marathon!!
    Good luck to you and your brother on your upcoming 5K...how cool to be there to encourage him to finish strong :)

    I love the barefoot running, but do take it slow so you don't end up sidelined like I am right now. I overdid the barefoot mileage :(

  2. Congrats on signing up for the marathon!

    Some unsolicited advice? I have done 5 marathons...as far as doing the 26.2 pre-race...The most I have ever done was 22. You might be better off to run 3 runs of 20-22 miles then 1 run of 26...

    But you know you better than me! Best of luck with training!

  3. Unsolicited advice is the VERY best kind!!! Especially when it comes from experience! Thanks to you both.

    I have about 5 big runs planed...all over 20 miles...only 1 at full race distance.

  4. Awesome!! I am so friggin stoked to hear how your training goes!!! I've never come close to any of those mileages, but my non-experienced advice says just listen to your body closely when it comes to that time. The extra 4-6 miles is another nearly hour on your body which could translate to injury. Or it could not! Although there must be something to be said about most training plans only going up to 22max. At the same time, however, I TOTALLY get why you'd want to go all the way up. Those last 4-6 probably feel frightening day-of!

    Hooray barefoot!!!! More non-experienced advice: take it real easy on the feet. It's definitely possible to rack up miles because it feels REALLY good to go barefoot!! But you could pay the price in your arches later on if you go too far too fast. Gotta build 'em up! It's undoubtedly a person-by-person thing though, so you might be able to rock out miles more quickly :) Do what feels natural! I think that's what barefoot running's all about ;)

  11. Have you left your children to basic education in India? Have you assessed the "law on the right of children to free and compulsory education and the right to education", which came into force on 1 April 2010 in India?

  22. There are different types of essay, which can be considered since its inception in the year 1588. It is considered that when Michel de Montaigne published the book "Essais" that the word essay was born in true sense. Before that essay was used to describe a short piece of work that was used to reveal the point of view of the writer on a particular subject. Basically the word came from the French word "essayer" which meant "to attempt". We all have been thrilled by numerous short stories, fictions and different plots of drama. question answer

  27. As the US continue to digest the implications of the 2010 results of the Program for International Student Assessment (PSIA), no doubt educators will be identified as key figures to bring about change. This fact, in the midst of huge education budget cuts resulting in many schools losing staff will translate into more work for fewer educators. Such a move has the propensity to create additional pressures on teachers with the end result very likely being -burnout. Burnout stifles creativity and motivation and fosters mediocrity. acim blog
