It's time to concentrate on building strength and resilience in running...and in my life in general.  I need to be prepared to handle the setbacks and challenges that running and life throw at me.   I'm still not sure what my long term running goals will be but my short term goal is to put those long term goals on the back burner and get this hamstring issue resolved.  I think that I've been unwilling to stop working toward that elusive BQ long enough to really deal with the hamstring issue.  ..read more

Half Boring was on Sunday.  This race was cancelled last year due to wildfire danger.  I've always wanted to run on the trail...Springwater Trail...so decided to run this as a training run this year. Training...and life...have been challenging and I struggled to choose an appropriate goal for this event.  Coach Melissa and I finally settled on a plan.  I would go out at MP and then see how I felt at the turn around.  If I felt good I could push the pace on the return.  I wasn't confident I ..read more
