Running with Mel: Reevaluating
http://runningwithmel.blogspot.com/2015/04/reevaluating.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Something else that I've put a lot of thought into lately is the stickers on my car. I have one that says "ultra marathoner" and then one for each distance above a marathon that I've completed. A few weeks go I looked at my car and wondered why? What is my motivation for doing that? I don't know. I'll overthink the situation and decide when it happens :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Running mom to Ryan and Adam and wife to Rick. View my complete profile.

Running with Mel: 2014 in Review
http://runningwithmel.blogspot.com/2015/01/2014-in-review.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. It's hard to know where to start in summing up 2014. It was a really big year for me. There were some very good things that happened and some not so good things. I'm working on moving past the not so good things and am looking forward to more of the good this coming year. I don't really have any goals for 2015 except to keep lifting. I want to run another 100 miler. In fact, I have one picked out. I just have to convince Rick to let me do it! These races are expensive! Calcium ...

Running with Mel: January 2014
http://runningwithmel.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 7, 2014. Saturday was the 2nd Annual WinterRock 25K. A few months ago I had grand plans for this race that included finishing in under 4 hours. Could I have done it? Probably. I do feel somewhat guilty about it. Pretty soon the rest of my friends had arrived and we all hung out talking and getting ready while planning when we would take our pre-race shot of bourbon. We tried for before the pre race briefing, but some people were taking forever to get ready! Then like a big jerk I ended u...

Running with Mel: November 2014
http://runningwithmel.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 7, 2014. You bet I do. I know I shouldn't care, but who doesn't want to look great? However, last week I read something that I really liked. I was reading a discussion with several women about weight loss. My friend Monica said "I also gave up on chasing skinny. I'm chasing strong and healthy. It's a much happier journey." I love that! I need to stop chasing skinny and start chasing strong. You know what else this imperfect body of mine can do? It can run 100 miles! A Dam Half Marathon A...

Running with Mel: September 2014
http://runningwithmel.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. FlatRock 50k.Epic Fail. I thought I was already past the cutoff. Rick told me I really had two minutes. I ran as fast as I possibly could. I truly wanted to die right then, I was so sick. Adam said "I'm tired, but if you keep running I'll keep running! I've tried really hard to not make this sound like I'm just bitter and whiny and complaining because I didn't finish the way I wanted to. I could have made a lot of different choices during the race. I felt great after O...To th...

Running with Mel: July 2014
http://runningwithmel.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Similarities between ultrarunners and infants. Here are the ways in which I think ultrarunners and infants are similar:. 3 Excessive Laundry-both Jaggar and I tend to generate quite a bit of laundry. A lot of it is wet and stinky. My sister Keli does his laundry, but sadly I'm left to do mine by myself. One time I asked Rick to wash my running clothes and he was so grossed out that I think he almost left me, so I guess I'm on my own with laundry. Monday, July 21, 2014. Let me star...

Running with Mel: Lake McMurtry 50K
http://runningwithmel.blogspot.com/2015/04/lake-mcmurtry-50k.html
Monday, April 13, 2015. She very kindly agreed to let me run instead of crew. Woot! Since the first time I heard about this race several years ago I've been hearing about the Leap O' Doom. It always seemed like a big joke, but was it really? I mean, you definitely had to leap over a crevice, but how deep was it? Would I make it? I don't want to die on the trail! What is a Flushy you ask? I chased that with a pickle and some pringles and m&m's. How did I not throw up you ask? The whole day was filled with...

Running with Mel: You're so lucky
http://runningwithmel.blogspot.com/2015/03/youre-so-lucky.html
Wednesday, March 4, 2015. Do you know how sick I am of hearing that phrase? Especially when it concerns running. It seems there are an awful lot of people that for various reasons think running is easy to me, because something about my situation is different than theirs. I am just done with it. First, stop comparing your life to mine, because unless you're living it you have no clue. Second, stop making assumptions based on what you think you see. 1 I have older kids. This age is sooo easy! Probably....
