Jedi Mama: Strong Running Mama
http://thejedimama.blogspot.com/2015/05/strong-running-mama.html
Monday, May 4, 2015. I started running 5 years ago. The voice inside my head is pretty loud. "Why are you even doing this? You've been a couch potato bookworm your entire life. You don't belong here. You can't do this, why even try? Who do you think you are? I've had a few good runs in the last couple of weeks to help mute that voice, but it was still there. Sara (1st woman overall), Kathleen (4th overall and 1st in Age Group), and me. Starting a wee bit too fast. I finished the race in 27:22. I needed t...

Jedi Mama: Worked hard = win
http://thejedimama.blogspot.com/2014/05/worked-hard-win.html
Monday, May 5, 2014. Worked hard = win. I didn't do it. I didn't break my PR. Didn't come close. And I'm okay with that (now). Before the race: Melissa, Sara, me and Elisa. I started out okay and did my first mile right on target but then I just slowed down. I thought about Lauren Fleshman. Telling me to go get it:. And I sped up. But it just wasn't quite enough to get the time I wanted. I finished in 28:06. Darlene, Sara, me, Elisa and Melissa with her big-ass trophy. Youre a kick ass woman! Header imag...

Jedi Mama: This is 40
http://thejedimama.blogspot.com/2015/07/this-is-40.html
Wednesday, July 8, 2015. I meant to do so many posts over the last month but nothing has quite been how I planned it. I'm going to try to prevent writing a novel here, so to be very brief:. At the opposite end of the spectrum, also in June, Vader threw me a "surprise" early 40th birthday party. I knew it was coming but not where or when (until that week). It was a great night filled with wonderful friends and the perfect beginning to what will no doubt be my best decade yet. Ignore the red eye. B•l...

Jedi Mama: Believe, part deux
http://thejedimama.blogspot.com/2015/05/believe-part-deux.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. Believe, part deux. All I wanted to do for this half was get back down to my original half marathon time of 2:15. That's it. I'll admit that I after my 5K PR. My day started at 6 am which is wicked early for me. I wasn't able to eat much because of nerves and the time but I had my normal cup of tea. I also brought a hot cup of Runner's Tea. There were so many friends running this race. Lots of Strong Running Mamas:. Strong Running Mamas before the race. Me and Jim before the race.

Jedi Mama: Bia sport watch review
http://thejedimama.blogspot.com/2014/05/bia-sport-watch-review.html
Monday, May 19, 2014. Bia sport watch review. UPDATE 3/20/2015: It is with a heavy heart that I have to say that Bia is "ceasing its operations." As of April 3, we can no longer use the Bia as it exists now. If all you want is a GPS distance/time tracker, you're fine. But if you want mile splits, elevation, SOS and all of things we've come to love about Bia, you'll have to get a different watch. Watch, Go Stick, charger and cool packaging. Without the product even completed! It was a total leap of faith ...

Jedi Mama: Garmin Forerunner 220 review
http://thejedimama.blogspot.com/2015/05/garmin-forerunner-220-review.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Garmin Forerunner 220 review. Not a picture from today. Because I run with my phone, as soon as I hit save on the watch my run is uploaded to Garmin Connect (which then feeds into MapMyRun). I can see my mile splits, elevation, and cadence (! For an actual detailed analysis and review of the watch, check out DC Rainmaker's post. I bought this with my own money and reviewed it so I can pretend to have things to do. Labels: garmin forerunner 220. May 27, 2015 at 2:32 PM.

Jedi Mama: You get all this in just one post
http://thejedimama.blogspot.com/2011/02/you-get-all-this-in-just-one-post.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. You get all this in just one post. I'm glad I ended February on a high note, since I did about half the miles that I did in January- only 26.8 miles. Well, it is the shortest month. My alarm went off at 5:30 this morning and I did the daily debate of "I should get up but I'm not in the mood to physically move my body." At 6:20 I heard SkyWalker tell his father that I forgot to make his lunch! Why do I remember them? Only the hands,. Once capable and quick,. Now slow and unsteady.

Jedi Mama: 2014 Clove Run race goals… or lack thereof
http://thejedimama.blogspot.com/2014/08/2014-clove-run-race-goals-or-lack.html
Thursday, August 14, 2014. 2014 Clove Run race goals… or lack thereof. I'm running the Clove Run 5K again. The last time I ran the 5K I got my PR. Last year I ran the 10 mile. But there's just something about the 5K that brings me back. I love running in my community. So I'm back with the 5K but this time I won't be running alone. I'm starting with the 1 mile fun race with the Princess again. SkyWalker decided he just didn't want to do it and I decided I wasn't going to push him. I've been doing my speed...

Jedi Mama: 2014 Mohawk Hudson Half Marathon wrap up
http://thejedimama.blogspot.com/2014/10/2014-mohawk-hudson-half-marathon-wrap-up.html
Tuesday, October 14, 2014. 2014 Mohawk Hudson Half Marathon wrap up. I didn't PR at Sunday's half-marathon. But that's okay, because sometimes races are about more than just the numbers. We got to the race around 8 and had some trouble parking so by the time I got the bathrooms the line was huge for both the inside park bathrooms and the portapotties. I had gone to the bathroom 5 or 6 times before I left the house so I thought I'd be okay. No. I'm going to have to get there earlier next year. 2014 Clove ...
