Posted on November 11, 2019 by skirtrunner / 2 Comments

From Two to Four I signed up for this race 2 years ago with Scott. It was going to be a date weekend in November 2018. Neither of the kids wanted to join us so we got a hotel in downtown and looked forward to the chance to have a romantic running weekend. Then, late…

Swim (49:11) Training had been so so for swimming. I started back in May swimming in the pool and then switched to the lake right before the 4th of July. I anticipated many lovely swim practice afternoons after a quick trip to NYC with Scott and Elizabeth. On our trip we learned that the lake…

Skunk Cabbage Half Marathon 2019

It’s not a race, it’s not a race, it’s not a race. This was my mantra for my 2019 running of the Skunk. Injury and recovery is a long road I injured myself in August and have spent the last 7 months recovering. After months of reflection I finally accept that overtraining was the cause….

Injury and recovery

Posted on March 12, 2019 by skirtrunner / 1 Comment

I haven’t posted in a LONG while. Late August I was on a run and I felt pain in my right foot. I thought my laces were tied too tight so I loosened them. My run was on trail for a leisurely 12 miles. I was meeting my husband and kids for BodyPump in Ithaca….

Goodbye Summer Bikram

Posted on September 3, 2018 by skirtrunner / 0 Comment

Kings mountain is a mountain near the Oregon coast. It is typically done as part of the Elk-Kings traverse which is an extremely challenging 11 mile hike. Kings is pretty steep on its own and perfect for a more moderate day.
