Quirky Geek Learns To Run. Rambling thoughts of a geek finding my stride through running and sheer craziness. Monday, April 8, 2013. And so the recovery begins.with a road trip. Honestly, if I could have managed to get up and down on the floor I would have slept there as it would have been far more comfortable than the bed. Everything on my body hurt, including my nose. I realized after some thought and consideration that it came from my hat pushing my sunglasses into the bridge of my nose. I had done th...

Quirky Geek Learns To Run. Rambling thoughts of a geek finding my stride through running and sheer craziness. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Day Two.here Wii go. Three miles was on par of the day. I prefer not to break my miles up, but was going to get at least two miles in after work with a goal of actually shooting for three consistent steady miles. Alas, Mother Nature decided to blanket us with torrential downpours, thunder, lightening and a myriad of warnings that caused me to make alternate plans. Living i...

http://doublejaybell.blogspot.com/2015/07/avoiding-negative.html
Quirky Geek Learns To Run. Rambling thoughts of a geek finding my stride through running and sheer craziness. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. I had that feeling for a brief fleeting moment on Tuesday. Where I thought for a moment this is what the greats feel like. I am one of the greats. And then, my moment was shattered by a fellow classmate who snapped “JJ she said run to the yellow sign, not sprint.” Thankfully Regina spoke up and told me to do my thing. Are different. In that difference is the basis fo...

Quirky Geek Learns To Run. Rambling thoughts of a geek finding my stride through running and sheer craziness. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. I have struggled to write this blog, not so much because of the emotional aspects swirling in my head but because in addition to losing my Spartan Race. Bib on Saturday I also lost my thumb nail and fractured my finger. Typing with 9 normal fingers and one the size of a bratwurst is somewhat challenging. With more training and a strict adherence to the WOD regiment in addi...

Quirky Geek Learns To Run. Rambling thoughts of a geek finding my stride through running and sheer craziness. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. This morning I definitely suffered a crisis of confidence. While running this morning it seemed like the task laid out before me seems unreachable. I’m not sure if it was the stifling heat of the gym or the impact that the cast on my right hand has on my gait. Regardless of the issue I started to doubt myself, my training and my overall abilities. One thing I came acros...

Quirky Geek Learns To Run. Rambling thoughts of a geek finding my stride through running and sheer craziness. Sunday, March 18, 2012. A Successful Race with Killer Socks. And no race would be complete without me befriending a runner or two along the way. In fact I slowed my pace a little bit to run with “Birthday Girl” (despite chatting about everything else we didn’t exchange names) who was celebrating her 45. Tuesday, March 13, 2012. A Belated New Year's Resolution. As a new year’s resolution I v...

Quirky Geek Learns To Run: SURPRISE!!! The Weekend Does Contain Calories

Quirky Geek Learns To Run. Rambling thoughts of a geek finding my stride through running and sheer craziness. Wednesday, June 3, 2015. The Weekend Does Contain Calories. I am not a prude or a teetotaler; I have a multitude of stories of my weekend (sometimes not limited to the weekend) excesses. However as someone that now prides myself on my fitness and my focus on health not my consumption of alcohol beverages, I am frustrated and baffled by those that feel that they can out exercise a bad diet. Person...

Quirky Geek Learns To Run: January 2014
http://doublejaybell.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Quirky Geek Learns To Run. Rambling thoughts of a geek finding my stride through running and sheer craziness. Monday, January 27, 2014. A pep talk to myself. It’s an understandable question; one that I took a few minutes to ponder while sitting in an all too familiar waiting room. The lab request form in my hand and my sleeve rolled up, waiting for the all too familiar battery of tests. Nearly two decades later, two decades. And the feelings of frustration, fear and anger seem to surface pretty easily.
