Running and socializing at the same time?
Why did it not occur to me before that this would be the coolest thing ever? I went out to TrySports last night for one of their group runs. I can tell you right now why I was always hesitant to do group runs before – performance anxiety. I know that sounds weird. Especially as…

Holiday food in, 10,000 calories out
Got this in my email from TrySports this week. Who in the Charlotte area wants to do it? Kevin and I are going to, and Crystal and Brandi and Corey are probably in. We should get a whole group together! 10,000 calories is nothing! (Well, not nothing, but attainable!) Will update later with the new…

You know it’s a great day when you get free shoes …
Ok, I know I have written about my favorite running store, TrySports, only about half a million times on here. Every time I go in there they find some way to amaze me. I have written before about how great they are at fitting people for shoes. They really listen to what you have to…

Bring it on, November
Today is the 13th, which means November is almost over. I’ve got 2 more long Saturday runs before tapering starts before my marathon (tapering is running lesser distances to give my muscles a chance to recover before The Big Day.) Tomorrow I run 15 miles, next Saturday 20 miles (gulp!), then 12 miles the following…

I can’t wear flip-flops?!?
Went to a foot/ankle injury prevention series last night at TrySports. They had Carolina Sports Clinic doctor Joshua Kollman talk to us about conservative care – that starts before we feel the injury. Dr. Kollman is not just a doctor – he’s also completed an Ironman. So he certainly knows what we are going through…

Some scissors and some free time …
So when I joined TrySports‘ Triple Rewards Club, I got a free T-shirt. Not just any free T-shirt. A moisture-wicking tech tee. Those are not cheap – can cost up to $50. And they are great for running in. Except … even though I got a size small, it was way too big for me.…

I don’t love shoes like most girls
I mean, I like shoes, don’t get me wrong. But love them? When Jeff first organized our closet he gave me an entire cubby for my shoes. I was in heaven! Organized all my shoes and gave them their own little spot. Then I showed Colleen the closet and she said, “Is that all your…

Try it my way, and you will never look at shoes the same again
Before I even knew he was the one I would meet, he was watching me as I walked through the door and made my way across uncrowded but busy room. He studied me silently, knowing it would be necessary to note the details of my every movement. Did he know how much he would impress me later by noticing me…

On chasing hot, shirtless guys and new bikes and running in the middle of the night
Busy weekend. I was on deadline this weekend with one of my magazine clients. August is Healthy Kids month, so be sure to pick up your copy of Natural Awakenings if you have kids or if you just want to see my design work! Friday night after working, Jeff and I headed up to Big…

More things I know or think I know about running
I had to take a breather from yesterday’s post. I mean, you want to spend your day reading about running or actually have time to go out and do it? So here I am today with more “Things a person that doesn’t know much officially has learned about running”: Water I used to think the rule was:…

My take on those weird socks
The other day I purchased these crazy socks from REI: I saw them and thought, “That’s so weird. I must buy them.” I asked the guy at REI what he thought and he said he loves them for hiking or running and that they help prevent blisters between the toes – something I used to…
