My Runner's Almanac: Injury!
http://runnersalmanac.blogspot.com/2011/10/injury.html
Running for fun in the (back of the). Middle of the pack. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. And yet.nothing will stop me from participating in the New York Marathon! What would a running life be without injury? It would be fantasy. Now I remember a Runner's World article I read a while ago that featured an elite runner who trained himself - he warmed-up and cooled-down for 45 whole minutes each. If I can get a 15 minute warm up, I'll be happy. Spectating at Rock n' Roll Los Angeles on Sunday. Me and Salome at...

My Runner's Almanac: January 2011
http://runnersalmanac.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Running for fun in the (back of the). Middle of the pack. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. My New Favorite Running Tool. I love my new Ultimate Direction Fastdraw Plus Water Bottle. My previous struggles with heavy fuel belts are over. For long runs, I used to pack up my fuel belt like I was going on a mini-vacation. The four water bottles were too heavy, and often my whole belt would come undone and fall off. I don't even mind the extra weight from the water - it's like a bonus bicep curl with every step...

My Runner's Almanac: September 2011
http://runnersalmanac.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Running for fun in the (back of the). Middle of the pack. Thursday, September 29, 2011. My 12 mile run last weekend was successful overall. I started off with the 13.5 pace group and had my first taste at 1:1 intervals. It's funny - before you know it, there's a walk break. They also incorporated mile repeats every even mile. I even didn't mind the first mile repeat. It was the second one, around mile 4, that started creating pain in my knee. Reducing mileage for the long run this weekend. Through runnin...

My Runner's Almanac: April 2011
http://runnersalmanac.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Running for fun in the (back of the). Middle of the pack. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. I went to the gym last Friday, armed with a barrage of BOSU Ball exercises and an iron will to do them all. Now although I had several exercises prepared to try on this stabilizing ball, very few came easily. My sit-ups included a lot of wobbling, and hardly looked as effortless as this picture:. Who is this amazingly coordinated lady? My version included rolling all over the place. Next time, I will try these side lunges:.

My Runner's Almanac: July 2011
http://runnersalmanac.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Running for fun in the (back of the). Middle of the pack. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Running Around and Feeling Groovy. Last night I reviewed my running log from Paris and was quite happy I managed to complete at least 10 runs there. This is significant since I am returning to the sport from injury and a two month absence. My time in Paris was a return to running, and I’m excited to have a detailed training schedule to get me from here to New York in November. I was a little anxious of doing dynamic stretch...

My Runner's Almanac: Run a Marathon, Make a Friend
http://runnersalmanac.blogspot.com/2011/12/run-marathon-make-friend.html
Running for fun in the (back of the). Middle of the pack. Thursday, December 22, 2011. Run a Marathon, Make a Friend. Long-distance running is best appreciated as a group sport, and if you keep this in mind when travelling solo to a marathon, the experience is never a solitary one. I remembered this recently at the New York City Marathon. I was most nervous about this part - the waiting around for hours part. My corral was one of the last of the 10:40 am crowd scheduled to leave. Luckily, the wea...Amids...

My Runner's Almanac: 6.5 miles before New York
http://runnersalmanac.blogspot.com/2011/11/65-miles-before-new-york.html
Running for fun in the (back of the). Middle of the pack. Wednesday, November 2, 2011. 65 miles before New York. Back to running in my favorite route around Brentwood. No pain for 6.5 miles. This was good news. I could estimate that for at least double that - 13 miles - I would be Ok. I would leave to New York happy, but cautious. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

My Runner's Almanac: October 2011
http://runnersalmanac.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Running for fun in the (back of the). Middle of the pack. Sunday, October 30, 2011. Spectating at L.A. Rock 'n' Roll Half-Marathon. Since my calf had "popped", I decided to take about 10 days off from running. The New York City Marathon was just two weeks away. After consulting with my massage therapist, I was convinced that I hadn't torn anything. I would go to her as well as my PT, and plan for New York. Liz giving out oranges to a grateful Legger. Here I am in a picture taken by Legger Jennifer Fah.
