Shiny Hair, Pretty Eyes: Story of a Fat Girl: August 2008
http://shiny-hair.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 6, 2008. Soooo I ran my 16-miler and lived to tell the tale! It actually went surprisingly well! Having Holly riding her bike along side me really helped me miss a few miles and helped me to keep going! Miles 1-10 went pretty smoothly. I stopped at mile 6 for some fuel, then again at mile 10. Then something magical happened. From mile 10-12 my body was totally in autopilot. It was the weirdest feeling! Mile 12-13 was easily my fastest mile! Just slightly under 10 minutes! I don't know i...

Shiny Hair, Pretty Eyes: Story of a Fat Girl: April 2009
http://shiny-hair.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 12, 2009. This week our lesson for Girls on the Run was about being grateful and taking time to reflect on all the things we are thankful for. And the girls had to run their laps. without partners. in silence. One of the most rewarding parts of coaching is all the perspective it brings. I had a lousy day at work that day, left the office crying on the phone to one of my co-workers, then came to our running group where I was greeted by an excited group of girls ready to run! It was so scary!

Shiny Hair, Pretty Eyes: Story of a Fat Girl: January 2009
http://shiny-hair.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 29, 2009. It starts. again. Last weekend was my first long run in the game again. When I started to taper during my Portland marathon I was pretty bummed that I didn't really practice my pacing. I would just go for it and try to keep my run as even as possible. I think next week I'm going to try starting slow, you know, like they say you should. and see how that affects my pace. My biggest takeway from my run this week is that I realized how grateful I am that I've been able to experien...

Shiny Hair, Pretty Eyes: Story of a Fat Girl: Girls, Girls, Girls!
http://shiny-hair.blogspot.com/2009/01/girls-girls-girls.html
Sunday, January 4, 2009. Girls, Girls, Girls! GIRLS ON THE RUN IS SO MUCH FUN! You can't really argue with a chant like that! Holly and I became "running buddies" this winter for an organization called "Girls on the Run." This group is dedicated to helping girls between the ages of 8 and 11 develop healthy self-esteem (to match their healthy bodies! After Sammy, my running buddy, and I were formally introduced, she looked me up and down and asked, "Can you go fast? And eventually Sammy's strategy worked!

Shiny Hair, Pretty Eyes: Story of a Fat Girl: Run Matt Run!
http://shiny-hair.blogspot.com/2009/01/run-matt-run.html
Thursday, January 22, 2009. Wow, how can so much greatness exist in one apartment. :). Last Sunday Matt completed his first half marathon in Phoenix. And I was along for the ride. I was a little nervous going into the race. Our longest run had been 5 or 6 miles, and Matt started getting a pain in his toe. Anything beyond 6 miles was going to be a mystery! We hadn't had a chance to try out hydration or nutrition options. The weather was perfect! I wonder how many race participants were first timers. I...

But more on that later. Here are the official race photos, and they actually caught my running crew out on the street with me! You can view them here:. Http:/ racephotos.net/RunnerDetails.asp?

Shiny Hair, Pretty Eyes: Story of a Fat Girl: Just fine in '09
http://shiny-hair.blogspot.com/2009/01/just-fine-in-09.html
Friday, January 2, 2009. Just fine in '09. It's that time again. resolution time! I've stopped making traditional resolutions years ago. They were always the same: this year I will lose weight, be better at finances, find a better job, become a super human who always has their stuff together, become a super hero while I'm at it, save the world, save money, save trees, save the children. that all comes back to that super hero thing. A sub 1-hour 10k. A sub 5-hour marathon. Race Schedule thus far:. I reali...
