August 11, 2014. 3 weeks post-fall and everyone (including myself) is likely sick of me talking about the bum knee.

http://theturtlepath.blogspot.com/2014/08/how-to-recover.html
Saturday, August 23, 2014. Recovery is hard. Runners are used to being active and following very tight training regimens.

http://runwithjill.blogspot.com/2015/01/carrying-hope-into-2015.html
I prefer memories to souvenirs. 2013 Races and Numbers. Where I raced in 2014. Where I raced in 2015. Thursday, January 1, 2015. Carrying Hope into 2015. I'm so glad to have waved good-bye to 2014.

Because I feel like I hit rock bottom in 2014. It was a year of more heartbreak than happiness. True. I had some amazing ...

Miles to the Trials: Whether it’s the Weather...? Doubts and Dubious Excuses
http://www.milestothetrials.com/2015/05/whether-its-weather-doubts-and-dubious.html

I blame the weather. The first marathon pace workout. Was a disaster, but I told myself. This time it was a lot. The temperature is more idea...

http://www.milestothetrials.com/2014/10/a-thin-line.html
First and Fastest (PRs). Friday, October 31, 2014. So far, I’m having the best season of my life. Here’s the problem: I’m scared I’ll lose it at any moment. Of course it is always more enjoyable to be running well than running poorly. I cannot/will not/am not complaining about running well. But… I’m stressed nonetheless. Things clicked and then took off. I snapped out of the either self-induced (overtraining? Or DC-induced (the swamp of humidity? And have kept rolling ever since. But I’m scared. I’...

http://wcaitlinsmith.blogspot.com/2014/07/its-been-whirlwind-over-past-few-weeks.html
Thursday, July 24, 2014. Note to self: eat more steak. It’s been a whirlwind over the past few weeks. I fell in love with the UP, got a fair share of technical trail running in, and may have found the culprit to my leg issue. I ran the US Mountain Running Champs on July 6. And then Run the Keweenaw: A Festival of Trails. After finishing the race in Lincoln, NH, Sam and I took a road trip to the UP for a stage race in Cooper Harbor, MI.
