A little Friday randomness

Thanks to Blogger's little meltdown yesterday, my Thursday post vanished into cyberspace and by last night I was googling how to transfer from Blogger to Wordpress!This was one of those weeks that flew by in a blink - there were lots of meetings, … [Continue reading]

The little things…..

Some days it's the little things that help get me through a run, especially when I'm not feeling it. Sometimes it's the right song that helps me pick up the pace (right now for me that song is Jay-Z's "Run this town"). Sometimes it's seeing a … [Continue reading]

Driving rain combined with a little thunder and lightening meant I was heading to the treadmill this morning. To keep it interesting I decided to do a hills workout. I picked the "foothills" workout from Running Planet that I've mentioned here before … [Continue reading]
