Refocusing: Belated Kalamzoo Half Marathon Report
http://refocusedrunner.blogspot.com/2011/05/belated-kalamzoo-half-marathon-report.html
Though on what, I'm not quite sure. Thursday, May 26, 2011. Belated Kalamzoo Half Marathon Report. Chip time 2:04:05, a nearly 5-minute PR, and one hell of a fun weekend! Because of the craziness that is the end of the semester I couldn't commit for sure, but took note of the online registration deadline and decided to make up my mind by then. The night before the deadline it looked like my grades would be done in time, and I signed up. Mile 1: 9:10 (hmmm. That was nice). Mile 2: 8:34 (uh oh.). Just befo...

Refocusing: March 2011
http://refocusedrunner.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Though on what, I'm not quite sure. Thursday, March 17, 2011. And so, I packed my suitcase with clothes (which were far too warm), 70 exams, 70 homework assignments, and dissertation materials, and headed off on my grand spring break adventure. When I walked up to Dad's office, I went to cross the quad in the same spot I always used to.except the sidewalk wasn't there anymore! No other floor in that building has that smell, it's only his floor. We're all slaves to all those old habits. Links to this post.

Refocusing: Bad Timing, Chest Cold!
http://refocusedrunner.blogspot.com/2010/02/bad-timing-chest-cold.html
Though on what, I'm not quite sure. Saturday, February 13, 2010. Bad Timing, Chest Cold! We finally have some worthwhile snow up here in the Great (White) North, after I've been watching all of you in NC and PA steal it all. While Philly and nearby areas got huge amounts of snow causing week-long shut downs, water damage to houses, and power outages, we got just the right amount! Enough to ski, enough to pretty it up around here, and enough for Kona to frolic through the drifts much to my amusement.

Refocusing: Chicago Marathon Race Report
http://refocusedrunner.blogspot.com/2011/10/chicago-marathon-race-report.html
Though on what, I'm not quite sure. Monday, October 10, 2011. Chicago Marathon Race Report. Horribly delinquent blogger checking in. Life's been crazy busy lately and I just haven't gotten around too it. Plus, with marathon training I haven't been racing, so I haven't felt like there was anything to post (although certainly I could have posted about training). Anyway, a report for you. We'll go all the way back to the beginning, I guess. I trained with the group through July and planned on potentially jo...

Refocusing: April 2011
http://refocusedrunner.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Though on what, I'm not quite sure. Thursday, April 21, 2011. Please stop. I'm begging you. I can't take anymore rain. Links to this post. Sunday, April 17, 2011. 2011 Race for the Cure. This year, for a while, I had hoped to maybe finally get that new PR. My current one is from 11/08 and has been begging for a shellacking for a while now. I did great training all summer – 400m repeats at 6:30 pace, regular daily runs around 8 min. Please, someone, for the love of all that is holy, TURN OFF THE WIND!

Refocusing: Early Winter (?) Check-in
http://refocusedrunner.blogspot.com/2011/12/early-winter-check-in.html
Though on what, I'm not quite sure. Sunday, December 04, 2011. Here I am, delinquent again. Things have been insane. Around here this fall. Since the marathon I've worked a lot, begun my reconstruction, traveled a lot, and hardly run at all. The first step of my reconstructive surgery was on 10/25. Briefly, the doctor placed tissue expanders. So, I'm back to the blog in an attempt to hold myself accountable to something. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Michigan, United States.

Refocusing: February 2011
http://refocusedrunner.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Though on what, I'm not quite sure. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Friends just recently introduced me to this term, and I heard a few students use it yesterday also. Right now, there's nothing that better describes where I am so I've adopted it for my own use. Not that I'm counting, oh no. And certainly I haven't considered making a paper chain.). If anyone happens to find my mojo - running, work, or otherwise - would you please send it back home? Links to this post. Monday, February 21, 2011. With some ...
