Monday, 54 minutes, 6.71 milesAt first when I started, my legs felt heavy and I did not appreciate the warmer temps. I even considered cutting it short but I kept going because I am way too stubborn and want to kept in my CRAW miles. Then I looked down and saw splits that matched last…

Monday, 53 minutes, 6.82 miles (.57 miles walking)I had some of the strangest dreams I can ever remember last night. I went through the motions in the morning of getting ready for the run but still felt wigged out. So, thanks for the cooler temperatures, I pushed my run until after school and got to…

Monday, 52 minutes, 5.86 miles (.65 miles walking)I got a slightly earlier start, not enough to add more minutes to the cool down but enough to tack on an extra minute. I have stuck with the walk breaks at miles 2, 3, and 4 like I have this whole summer but I think I will…

Monday, 51 minutes, 6.18 miles (1.04 miles walking)Once again I read the Fast Women newsletter by Allison Wade and discovered that Laz had once again acted out of fear and asked a group to change their name from “Black Lives Matter” or receive a complete refund. Having just started this race and really enjoying the…

So yes, I signed up for another long term virtual stage race, this one as part of a team where we try to complete the Circumpolar Race Around the World (CRAW.) We shall see what happens with this one! Monday, 50 minutes, 5.61 milesI felt fantastic for the first mile and a quarter. At that…

Monday, 50 minutes, 6.03 milesI started earlier that I have in a while which meant a lot of running in the dark. Overall, I felt steady with no soreness in my right inner thigh. My right calf felt tight however. I’m glad I got to start the day with the run because life after school…

Monday, 50 minutes, 5.71 milesStarted in the dark-ish but ran most in early morning twilight. Felt strong and ready to get this “party” started. I felt so much better overall and I have no idea why. Tuesday, 50 minutes, 5.76 milesAgain, I felt great on this run, so much so that my split for my…

Monday, 50 minutes, 5.33 milesI had a great run, nice and early in the morning. I felt physically strong with a pep in my step. At the same time I felt grieved at the discovery of racism exhibited and then covered up in the GVRAT Facebook group. I found out about the post and its deletion…

I had to go a week without a running journal because either Mom’s computer or the particular internet service did not like the wordpress system. Basically, I got in a lot of miles while debating about whether or not to step up the mileage to get BAT (back across Tennessee.) Ultimately, I decided for and…

On a number of occasions, people who don’t run wonder what I think about when I go out and run for hours on end or even just the hour of the weekday run because of the monotony, among other things. After these comments I try to think of a suitable answer but find it difficult…
