Guys, life has been crazy. CRAZY BUSY! I know, I'm confused by that too. I realized that I was so busy somehow that I never posted my last race report. Such a shame because I put together this killer video for it. So, sorry for no actual report but p… more »

I’m going to level with you guys. This was not a fun race for yours truly. I won’t try to sugar coat this one at all. Now, first of all on the registration form it had an option to “Adopt a Duck.” What does that mean? Well it means either…A) …as… more »

Yesterday was another exciting adventure in running. I attended the Couch Potato 5K in Bowling Green, Ohio. Let me just be clear and say it was hot, humid and generally unpleasant outside. Humidity is my kryptonite. I can run in heat, cold, ice, wind… more »

I am having a tough time blogging this month guys. I have started and restarted this blog a thousand times today. Why? Because my brain is goo. I’ve had a lot going on and also a lot on my mind. As the world takes its final steps into spring everyone is… more »

Today was the Docs N Socks 5K in Findlay Ohio. I have been waiting a long time for this race. Why? Not because I was really ready to buckle down and crack my personal best again. No, because I got some killer socks for this race. See? Bam.… more »

So this morning I woke up bright and early to watch the Boston Marathon coverage. Let me tell you guys, sitting around snacking while other people run is very invigorating. I got exhausted just watching. But it did spark a small conversation via Facebook… more »

So I had my first 5K of the year this morning! It was the Sting 5K in Sidney Ohio. This race holds a special place in my heart because it was the first 5K I ever ran. Ever. I finished at 28:09 last year and spent the summer trying to beat it. The rac… more »

So last week I ran the Beer Bottle Open. It was a four mile race in Columbus Grove. An annual event with beer, stew and running. Huzzah! I have been putting off this race report for one solid reason. If I had written that report right afterward it would have sounded like this: I WILL NEVER GET WARM AGAIN! I WILL NEVER GET DRY! SOMEONE SAW OFF MY FOOT! I QUIT RUNNING FOREVER! SOMEONE KILL ME! more »

Drum roll please! Next Saturday kicks off Abbey Runs Too Much 2010 with a 4 mile race! It is a classic race in this area and I feel it is the perfect way to start. Plus, it is called the Beer Bottle Open. That alone makes it worth its weight in… beer. I am for sure meeting up with one other person there. As per my love of code naming my friends we will call him Tank. We ran a 5K together last year and have been harassing each other ever since. Some people call it smack talk, I call it bonding. We are racing for pride and beer. First person to cross the finish line gets the 6-pack of their choosing. Seems fitting, yes? Phedre and Delta have neither confirmed nor denied their presence but I do know Hoppie will be there, camera in hand to record my sweet victory over my dearest friends and me being a good sport by rubbing their noses in it. Mawhaha! more »

It is officially been one year since I start running! ::throws confetti::I have learned a lot about myself during the passed year and I will account it to my new passion with running. I ran 300+ miles in 2009 and I am hoping to double that mileage this year! I probably won't be running any marathons this year, but I do want to get at least one half marathon out of the way. more »
