Girl, Interrupted.: December 2011

Tuesday, December 13, 2011. That's a really bad/trite title, I know, but I can't conjure a better one. It's my not-so-cute way of saying that I've decided, along with my dad, to focus on trail races for the next I-don't-know-how-many months. All that seriously. I've run two trail halves, two trail relays (Dances with Dirt- my favorite race ever), and a trail 15K. Though I've won a couple of them overall, I've never trained specifically for these races. If you remember, I had a bad experience with running...

Girl, Interrupted.: August 2012
http://runnerwendy.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 4, 2012. The name of my blog is runnerwendy. I am a runner. However, as summer began this year, I decided to do a triathlon. This was a big deal. Because I have never been a swimmer. I never had lessons as a child. I knew how to frolic in a pool, but that was it. And I could ride a bike, but not well. I am married to a triathlete. I train with many of them, too. So how did I get roped into doing this? I refer you to my previous blog post. A big group of people. As I was sighting, I r...

Wednesday, March 14, 2012. Land Between the Lakes 60K Race Report. 372 miles. Done. My race report for this race was featured in another blog, The Perspectives Running Blog. She did such a good job with inserting photos, etc. that I see no reason to do anything other than direct you to that report.

Thursday, May 16, 2013. Ice Age 50 Miler Race Report. What's the pain like? Different from a marathon? Pain Before I go any further, let me stop you from suggesting that I like pain. I've heard this before, and it's simply not true. I do not enjoy pain. I do, however, enjoy pushing through it. The Start Line- Notice it's a banner between two ladders. #love. With Randy at the Start Line. It's just a long, slow run." Um, yes. Yes, Randy- we will be completely and utterly destroyed! I really didn't think so...

Sunday, June 24, 2012. Yesterday, I competed, for the second consecutive year, in the Jim-N-I triathlon. However, last year, I only did the run portion. This year, I took part in all three events. To understand how that's possible/allowed, you need to know the background of the Jim-N-I. Luckily, Bill has blogged about that very subject (read about it here. Anyway, I made it back.and zig zagged the entire way. I finally, in the last 100 meters, figured out a way to sight more effectively. And ...Usually, ...

Tuesday, May 15, 2012. Team Dragon Slayers: Terry Quigley, Tim, Wes, me, and dad. The night before the race, Tim and I met Scott and some other running friends (Beau, Jonathan, Pius, Rebecca) for wonderful Italian food at Grazie in Bloomington. I carbo-loaded like I was running an ultra even though I would only be running 8 miles at most. Oh, well.it was worth it! Bothers me about this race is that likely 50% of the team cars involved could be pulled over for DUIs. Anyway- the race was soon underway,...

Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Oh, taper, how I hate thee. Let me count the ways:. 1 Everything HURTS. Knees, calves, hip, TOES. My hair even hurts. 2 Dead legs.as in, my legs felt better during the last run of my 75-mile peak week. Out in Buddha. 4 I don't get to run much. 5 3 4= I feel gross and fat and slow. 6 Complete confidence collapse. I go through my training log and convince myself I've not done enough. Then I start. So, since I'm not running much (or writing much given the dissertation is done!

Wednesday, November 30, 2011. It has arrived. Well, sort of. Lately, we've been getting a ton of cold rain. It changed, temporarily, to snow yesterday.but back to cold rain just in time for my run. Living in Indiana, there is no way getting around winter running.unless you run on a treadmill, and that's even worse than the cold. So, anyway, I'm ready for it! Or at least I'm telling myself that. Now onto the exciting news- the Bowders are coming in today! All the way from Vancouver, Washington! I didn't a...
