Hills Again!
- walking
We did five reps — up the hill, down the other side, then up that hill and back to where we started. We could tell we are getting stronger. Today’s reps were easy until the middle of the third rep. I wish […]

I’m Not Obsessed
Seriously, I’m not obsessed with getting races to offer women’s sizes — I just want race garments that fit. If the shirts or jackets offered are a brand name and a quality product, the men’s small usually fits me. I get frustrated […]
Races Offering Women’s Shirts
I can’t figure out a couple of things: 1) Why, when races only gave out cotton T-shirts, did the shirts fit me? 2) When the majority of people who enter races is female, why do races only offer men’s garments? (One race […]

Hills, Hills, Hills
Instead of our typical midweek mileage, we did hills today. There are not a lot of hills in Central Ohio, so we have to work hard just to find one for hill training. But by Griggs Reservoir, if you head toward the […]
Keeping Training on Track
Today Deb and I met for our 3-mile training walk. The Scioto River seemed a little small after walking beside the Mississippi River for three days. Still the sun was shining, temps were in the mid-50s and it was a beautiful day. […]
