Back of the Pack: An excellent question from The Mayor

http://bootfromtheback.blogspot.com/2011/06/excellent-question-from-mayor.html

Back of the Pack. I can't run fast, so I run long instead . . . Monday, June 6, 2011. An excellent question from The Mayor. Found in a guidebook in Milos, our next destination after Santorini. This has provided us with, quite literally, hours. Of entertainment. But we are slightly odd ducks. Your milage may vary. Please don't mind me, I'll just be over there, trying to block air in a skin bag. Would a skin bag air blocker also be known as a wind bag. Would it require an air hole? June 6, 2011 at 11:08 PM.

Back of the Pack: September 2011

http://bootfromtheback.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Back of the Pack. I can't run fast, so I run long instead . . . Tuesday, September 6, 2011. What kind of posts do you find on a running blog authored by a chick who hasn't been running much? NO posts, apparently. At least, that's what you'd find here. If you looked. If you're still here (which, apparently, you still ARE, because I have something like 90 subscribers in Google reader, even though it's been months). That's amazing. Who ARE you tenacious people? Well, more like little teeny-tiny pistols.

Back of the Pack: April 2011

http://bootfromtheback.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Back of the Pack. I can't run fast, so I run long instead . . . Monday, April 4, 2011. For running. I feel like I'm really back into it now, making my milage (sort of), running to a schedule, running in Marin (wow! 5 miles. 4 port-a-potties. 3 poops. Jeepers. Hopefully they sort themselves out quickly. I started this high-intensity strengthening program 3 weeks ago, and it. kicks. my. ass. Due to my wacky schedule, and the fact that this shit is pricey! I weigh 158 pounds. This is a huge. That's just, big.

Back of the Pack: February 2012

http://bootfromtheback.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Back of the Pack. I can't run fast, so I run long instead . . . Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Yup, I've at least started running somewhat regularly again, if not exactly following the schedule I made for myself. Perhaps even better, I've managed to go running in Marin! Granted, I called out sick (not sick at all! To do it, but whatever, who's paying attention to the finer points? Not me, not me. Two little runs, not much to crow about, but at least when I look back on February on my running calendar, there...

Back of the Pack: February 2011

http://bootfromtheback.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Back of the Pack. I can't run fast, so I run long instead . . . Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Am I going to hunt prey? Run a 50 miler? No, none of that. Well, not yet (the 50 miler is next year's goal). I'm not going to suddenly become competitive in my age group, train for a sub-4 marathon, run blistering track workouts or wear a running skirt (I don't know what THAT. Has to do with anything). What the hell do I need a coach for? So, what the hell do I need a coach for? Well, I don't need. Well, what if.

Back of the Pack: January 2011

http://bootfromtheback.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Back of the Pack. I can't run fast, so I run long instead . . . Monday, January 24, 2011. I ran (well, ran/walked) for 45"! Before PT today, and then went right up for my appointment. PT Joe says . . . I am recovering very, very well! I ran mostly pain-free, with just a little achey-ness in the joint and a touch behind the knee, but none of that ouchy! So what this really means is, if all goes well, by mid-February I should be running/no walking and then can get back to base-building or milage building o...

Back of the Pack: The Food and I

http://bootfromtheback.blogspot.com/2011/06/food-and-i.html

Back of the Pack. I can't run fast, so I run long instead . . . Saturday, June 25, 2011. The Food and I. It has taken me no fewer than 43 years to admit that I don't "just eat the food that tastes good" but, in fact, am quite a picky eater. There's lots of things that have caused me to make The Yucky Face, of which I surprisingly don't have a digital photo, but involves me squinching up my entire face, much like a child eating beets. Or, this:. Remembrance of the childhood hate of Bit O'Honey candy!

Back of the Pack: Living and breathing

http://bootfromtheback.blogspot.com/2011/06/living-and-breathing.html

Back of the Pack. I can't run fast, so I run long instead . . . Saturday, June 25, 2011. I returned from GREECE ON JUNE 2. I ran the Reno Tahoe Odyssey 178 mile relay RACE ON JUNE 3-4. I am damn sure my 11 teammates, especially the 5 in Van #2, thought I was certifiable, for I did not sleep nor shut the fuck up for 27 hours. Someone saw fit to give me a cowbell, a move they surely regretted. WooHoo, go runners! And, lo and behold, I ran . . . fast! Leg 8: 4.6 miles, 51:21. Leg 20: 4.2 miles, 37:03. Want ...

Back of the Pack: August 2010

Back of the Pack. I can't run fast, so I run long instead . . . Tuesday, August 24, 2010. I've thought of you often in these past few weeks, really I have. Oh, the posts I wrote in my head! The pictures I took! The times I mentioned Oh! I'll do a blog post tonight! You haven't been far from my mind . . . but you have been far from actuality. I've neglected you, tossed you aside in the pile marked "Later," trading you in for summer fun. Oh, you poor, poor blog. OK, I don't feel guilty, just lame. There, t...
