Am I Really a Runner?: Tom King Half Marathon, or the race that wasn't
http://realrunner-tammy.blogspot.com/2015/03/tom-king-half-marathon-or-race-that.html
Am I Really a Runner? Friday, March 13, 2015. Tom King Half Marathon, or the race that wasn't. As the week progressed, we had an ice storm on Tuesday, March 3 followed by a couple of very cold days (but sunny). On Wednesday, they decided to postpone the race time by one hour, to start at 8:30am. Eek. It wouldn’t be nearly as much time, but I could still make my hair appointment. On Thursday, they cancelled the Half Marathon and turned it into a 5K only. It was warm, 50’s? Car repairs can truly suck the l...

Am I Really a Runner?: April 2014
http://realrunner-tammy.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Am I Really a Runner? Friday, April 25, 2014. Kentucky Derby Festival Marathon 2014. Never a dull moment around here, let me tell you. March 29: My wedding day. March 31 - April 7: Honeymoon in Hawaii. I've been back to work for almost 3 weeks now. The first 2 weeks were 60 hour weeks. This week is shaping up to be a 70 hour work week. I'm exhausted. But, I decided to throw a marathon in there on the same weekend that we travel 4 hours each way to visit my family for Easter. Hopefully, I'll improve on th...

http://realrunner-tammy.blogspot.com/2015/02/zoo-run-run-12415-frostbite-half.html
Am I Really a Runner? Monday, February 9, 2015. Zoo Run Run - 1/24/15 Frostbite Half Marathon (or not). The weather here has been so perfect compared to the weather I'm used to in the winter. January 24, the husband and I had signed up to run the Zoo Run Run in Nashville. I convinced my daughter to go to the immediate care clinic on Saturday to get the bite checked out and the rash that started all of the problems that was all over her arms and legs. On to the Frostbite Half Marathon, February 7. Its a r...

Am I Really a Runner? Friday, March 20, 2015. Kegs and Eggs 10K - March 14, 2015. Race start time was 11am and location was Party Fowl in the Gulch. A race that starts and ends at a bar? Race started and off we go. Uphill. AARGH! Official finish time: 1:12:44. Next race: Sunday, March 22. Music City Half Marathon. Friday, March 13, 2015. Tom King Half Marathon, or the race that wasn't. On Thursday, they cancelled the Half Marathon and turned it into a 5K only. It was warm, 50’s? This Spring is conspiring...

Am I Really a Runner?: Dry Creek Trail Half Marathon - March 1, 2015
http://realrunner-tammy.blogspot.com/2015/03/dry-creek-trail-half-marathon-march-1.html
Am I Really a Runner? Friday, March 13, 2015. Dry Creek Trail Half Marathon - March 1, 2015. Back on February 22, the Dry Creek Trail Marathon was scheduled but cancelled due to weather. The trail was still covered in ice from an ice storm earlier the previous week. They cancelled it at the last minute but rescheduled for the following weekend, March 1. My daughter is as much (or more) of a procrastinator as I am, so she didn’t show up to the house until around 6pm on Saturday the 28. Yay on the finish!

Am I Really a Runner?: December 2014
http://realrunner-tammy.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Am I Really a Runner? Wednesday, December 17, 2014. On Friday, we headed down to Huntsville to run the Rocket City Marathon. I got out of work later than planned, so we didn't wind up leaving the house until after 4pm. Straight to the Expo around 6:30pm (all the vendors were packing it up). G did wind up finding a pair of shoes for $45, and I got a couple of $10 tops. Not too shabby. Start time for the race was 7am, so we quickly went to bed. As we're running the first 5 miles, I'm OK but not feeling gre...

Am I Really a Runner? Thursday, February 26, 2015. Hot Chocolate 15K - 2/14/15. The husband and I ran this race on Valentine's Day. As always, I enjoyed the Hot Chocolate race. It was just cold enough that hot chocolate was exactly what I wanted at the finish line. My official finish time was 1:49:59, or 11:48 per mile. Temps were in the 40's, so perfect running weather even if I was whining about being cold before the race started. Ha! I'm glad I got the miles, but I despise running on a treadmill.

Am I Really a Runner?: November 2013
http://realrunner-tammy.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Am I Really a Runner? Tuesday, November 26, 2013. I'm Back to the World of Blogging. So, it may seem like I've dropped off the face of the planet, but I'm still here. Maybe nobody will read this, but I miss writing and will keep doing it just for me. So, what has happened since I last posted here? Well, that's too much. I'll hit the highlights of the past few months. I swear, they use a special camera at races that adds 20-30 lbs. I really am losing weight, even though my race pictures don't show it.

Am I Really a Runner?: April 2011
http://realrunner-tammy.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Am I Really a Runner? Saturday, April 2, 2011. From Merriam Webster's Learner's dictionary. 1: a promise to do or give something 2: a promise to be loyal to someone or something 3: the attitude of someone who works very hard to do or support something. Despite the fact that every man I date wants to make a big commitment to me for some strange reason (perhaps because they need me to support them but that's a different story for another day), I have a big problem with it. It should have been, yes. Excel W...

Am I Really a Runner?: January 2011
http://realrunner-tammy.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Am I Really a Runner? Thursday, January 20, 2011. 1- When traveling for work with a group of men, and vendors are taking you to the best places to eat, it is not always the best idea to get the most food and drinks possible out of the free meal. That said, I ate at a couple of great places in Minneapolis ( here. And one pretty great place in Grand Rapids. I did pretty good at eating healthy in Grand Rapids ( here. But I was out of control in Minneapolis. Monday, January 10, 2011. Am I just lazy? I'm ok w...
