The Life of Nizzy: Honored Hero 20-Mile Run Race Report
http://thelifeofnizzy.blogspot.com/2012/10/honored-hero-20-mile-run-race-report.html
Sunday, October 21, 2012. Honored Hero 20-Mile Run Race Report. This was a game day decision for me, so I registered at the race. I was deciding between running 15-16 miles on my own (a more reasonable distance given that my longest run this season was the half marathon. Two weeks ago) or sucking it up and doing a 20-miler in an organized setting. I figured if my buddy Dan. I knew the last five or so miles would hurt since I hadn't properly built up to 20 miles on my long runs. My goal was to start o...

Tales of a Bariathlete: May 2011
http://bariathlete.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tales of a Bariathlete. Monday, May 23, 2011. I'm running a 10K on July 4, and I'd really really really like to run sub-60. I ran 1:01 something on my last one, so I think I can get there, especially if the weather cooperates on race day. Anyway, this 1st Annual Moody Street 5K. Was being held right in my backyard, so we reassembled members of Team Missile Toes for the occasion. Unfortunately, one member lives in DC (Hi Anamarie) and one member was in the hospital (get well soon, sweetie! So 3 of us ran.

Tales of a Bariathlete. Tuesday, July 19, 2011. It's like riding a bike! Which is why we call it riding a bike. So he's taken up the challenge of running now, and we've double-dared each other to complete the Goofy Challenge. We have run some races together already, and I really like training together. It means a lot to me that he's jumped into this running thing. We can talk about training runs, shoes, race strategy, aches, pains. running is a language few other people in my life speak. Before, I found ...

Tales of a Bariathlete. Monday, April 18, 2011. Recent race and related photos. 65279;. 65279;. Pre 10K, showing off my ridiculous pink glasses that match my race headband. 62 miles later, ready to finish. Checking out the finish line on Boylston in downtown Boston. Someday! Monday, April 11, 2011. A last minute 10K. I was mostly unfamiliar with the course, but it was small rollers through the backroads of this small town. I remembered my mission was to just get it done, not to risk injury or i...

Tales of a Bariathlete. Monday, November 29, 2010. Loose skin - my post from an OH message board that warrants repeating. And perhaps re-reading when i get self-conscious). Is going to happen or not. Is out of your control. Is not worse than being fat. Is fun to play with. Can be removed by a plastic surgeon. Will not ruin your life. Is nicely hidden by most clothing. Is not the real reason your partner won't sleep with you. Will not keep you from finding a partner. Cannot be fixed by exercise. Perhaps i...

Tales of a Bariathlete: Thank you, Jesus!
http://bariathlete.blogspot.com/2011/10/thank-you-jesus.html
Tales of a Bariathlete. Tuesday, October 18, 2011. Thank you, Jesus! I'm not a Christian, heck, I don't even have a religion, but I know why athletes, musicians, actors and other "winners" all get to a microphone and thank Jesus and their mothers. So here's how it went:. We jumped into the starting crowd somewhere near the back. no pace corrals. only about 1000 marathoners and maybe 2000 half marathoners. We ran together for the first 3 miles or so and then they turned off. Single female living outside o...

Tales of a Bariathlete. Monday, October 25, 2010. My first trail race! And first race ever with the BF). Are up.and they have John and I finishing 92nd and 91st, respectively, though our times are not right since he finished on my heels. but whatever. I think his time reflects our results more accurately. It was a lot of fun and a new physical challenge - and his first footrace! In just over two months of dating, look what I've done! I created a new runner! This was us before the race. Sadly, since w...

Tales of a Bariathlete: What will I learn this weekend?
http://bariathlete.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-will-i-learn-this-weekend.html
Tales of a Bariathlete. Wednesday, October 12, 2011. What will I learn this weekend? This weekend I make my marathon debut. I don't expect it to be pretty. I've been going between fear, ambivalence and all out panic for a few weeks now. I've been trying to deny it, overcome it, work through it, ignore it. and the problem is, I don't know what "it" is that I'm battling. I was advised today not to try the full marathon on Sunday. With so many physical concerns (lack of sleep, nutrition issues and anoth...

Tales of a Bariathlete: December 2010

Tales of a Bariathlete. Wednesday, December 22, 2010. 2010 Year in Review! Talked me into my next race. I had emergency abdominal surgery in December 2009, so that kept me pretty inactive in January, but I got back on the road/treadmill in February to start prepping for my first 10 mile race, the Cherry Blossom Run in Washington, DC. I had no idea what a HUGE deal it is to get into and run that race. 20,000 runners, superflat course and crowded as all get out! I found a local 5K to run, which i was hopin...
