A few steps with me...: deviating from the plan
http://afewstepswithme.blogspot.com/2010/02/so-last-weekend-small-group-of-us.html
A few steps with me. Sunday, February 21, 2010. Deviating from the plan. So last weekend a small group of us headed south for the Austin Marathon. While the OKC Marathon will always be the most special to me for myriad reasons, I love, love, love out of town races! Or so I thought…. It was right up until I realized that I forgot to print out my list at work and somehow thought my memory could be trusted. Got 'em. Garmin? Got it. Gum, carmex? Of course. Then you're set! And who could possibly leave this b...

A few steps with me...: December 2008
http://afewstepswithme.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
A few steps with me. Saturday, December 27, 2008. I'm back, now, to finally finish the White Rock post.only 9 days later, I know! As you last read, I was able to sign up for the half, and like a kid whose parent just gave into a candy request, I immediately perked up and bounced around the expo with a ridiculous grin on my face. How easy this run was going to be now! Which turned into a second one of those (impossible to argue with a New York transplant Croatian soccer player! Thursday, December 18, 2008.

A few steps with me...: what it's about
http://afewstepswithme.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-its-about.html
A few steps with me. Saturday, December 26, 2009. First, let me start by saying, yes, I realize that I haven't published anything since the first part of 2009 so to those of you who keep watching.surprise! I should tell you that this post has absolutely nothing to do with running, but it warrants a read probably more than anything I have, or will, put out there. I'm in Texas at the moment, visiting family for Christmas. It's loud, tiring, chaotic, and wonderful! Only been a year. Such a great story.

A few steps with me...: January 2009
http://afewstepswithme.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
A few steps with me. Friday, January 9, 2009. A week of mondays. And finally, this morning I wake up and my oven timer is going off! It's this constant "eeehhhhhhh" sound, much like "the most annoying sound in the world" from that movie Dumb and Dumber! Tuesday morning: speedwork - 6 miles. Tuesday evening: running off the "Monday" feeling - 3 miles. Thursday morning: tempo run - 6.5 miles. Anyway, this post is becoming rather boring so I'll sign off. More will come your way later! I'm really proud of th...

A few steps with me...: quietly slip-sliding into a run
http://afewstepswithme.blogspot.com/2010/01/quietly-slip-sliding-into-run.html
A few steps with me. Saturday, January 30, 2010. Quietly slip-sliding into a run. Have you ever been angry about being a runner? Or if you're not a runner, about anything that is essentially who you are, how you're known, what you build on.you get the idea. That's exactly how I felt this morning when everyone else was out there slipping and sliding their way through the ten mile training run, and my yaktrax remained strapped to my polka-dot rain boots! I'd just done this! Hi Adi, Im sure you wont remembe...

A few steps with me...: what perserverance looks like
http://afewstepswithme.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-perserverance-looks-like.html
A few steps with me. Monday, March 1, 2010. What perserverance looks like. 10 You get to talk to a lot of nice people because you aren't out of breath. 9 There ain't no shame in looking at a bunch of really good runner's backs anonymous. 8 It's a chance at trying to force evolution from the ground up. 7 It's an awesome feeling to know that you made someone's day by letting them pass you. 6 You get to spend the time thinking of how you are going to cash in on your calories you just burned.

A few steps with me. Saturday, March 28, 2009. It turns out that our group run originally scheduled for this morning was postponed until tomorrow due to a snowstorm we were supposed to be pummeled with. Of course Oklahoma weather being Oklahoma weather-like, nothing ever happened. Believe me, I waited up as there were great plans in the works to commence at the fall of the first flake! That's what it was like, only scarier.no food should be that color! Sorry NPR. I promise you'll stay in the rotation!

A few steps with me. Monday, March 8, 2010. Just a quick post to say that I had a GREAT 20 miler yesterday! That's the furthest I've travelled on foot since last October's ultra and I had an absolute ball doing it. The weather was great, with even a few minutes of sunny drizzle, I met several new runners, reconnected with some old ones, and a very artfully prepared cappuccino at coffee afterward. The barista drew pictures in my foam.love that! Monday, March 1, 2010. What perserverance looks like. 1 The p...
