She Runs: May 2010
http://darcyruns.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
My brother says he never even saw me run to the refrigerator. Monday, May 10, 2010. Hippie Chick was SO MUCH FUN. Seriously, I think that was one of the best times I've had at a run. I wasn't ready to run the half marathon, so I had switched to the quarter marathon at the last minute and it was a great decision. There was a little mini expo set up under the trees they were giving away Luna Bars, Luna Chocolate Mint Lip Balm (yum! Nothing like women waiting in line for bathrooms. When the lead runner came...

She Runs: March 2010

My brother says he never even saw me run to the refrigerator. Saturday, March 20, 2010. Giving Yourself the Willies. Know how to do it? Peel your toenails off. that will do it. George, Mr. Former Army Medic, refused to be grossed out, but the kids were quite satisfying. Loved running with you, Win. Never thought I'd be doing that! Monday, March 15, 2010. Pushing the Restart Button. I tried to run alone torture. Feels like I'm dragging the weight of the world behind me. I tried to run with Blanca ...Julie...

She Runs: Sarah Runs, Too. (sort of )
http://darcyruns.blogspot.com/2010/06/sarah-runs-too-sort-of.html
My brother says he never even saw me run to the refrigerator. Saturday, June 5, 2010. Sarah Runs, Too. (sort of ). Today was my 11 year old Sarah's first 5k. Thank you, Target, for stocking girls size athletic gear). At about mile 1.5 she growls at me, "Mom I am SWEATING! I replied, "You're supposed to sweat. You're exercising and it's a sunny day. Everyone is sweating." She snarls back, "It is NOT ATTRACTIVE." lol At this point her crankiness is getting humorous. June 5, 2010 at 8:37 PM. June 5, 2010 at...

She Runs: August 2010
http://darcyruns.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
My brother says he never even saw me run to the refrigerator. Tuesday, August 3, 2010. I'm not one of those moms who looks forward to school being out for the summer. Just the five of us at home, relaxing in the summer sun? Doesn't happen. The crazy nature of our life kicks into overdrive somehow and every year I say this is the craziest, busiest summer EVER. And it's true they seem to get more hectic as time goes by. So in all of this I've been doing my best to keep on running. I was doing quite wel...

She Runs: June 2010
http://darcyruns.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
My brother says he never even saw me run to the refrigerator. Saturday, June 12, 2010. Helvetia Half Marathon (aka. Massive Hills Half). Way back in December, my sister in law invited me to run the Helvetia Half Marathon with her. It was well before my Surf City Marathon date and I kind of thought I would still be in top shape by then, ready to run. After all, how hard is a half after a full, right? Wrong A half is a long, long way to run and that top shape I envisioned. well. anyway. I knew their farm w...

She Runs: Ready or Not, Here I Come
http://darcyruns.blogspot.com/2011/02/ready-or-not-here-i-come.html
My brother says he never even saw me run to the refrigerator. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Ready or Not, Here I Come. I am in soooo much trouble. Honestly. Yes, I tend to be a slacker trainer. Yes, I struggle to EVER feel like I've trained "enough". But this time takes the cake. For the next couple of months I sort of, mostly, almost trained for the half. Really. And I was feeling sort of, mostly, almost ready, too. Kudos to me! Pats on the back! A half marathon with my cousin Win and the flu. I highly rec...

She Runs: December 2009
http://darcyruns.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
My brother says he never even saw me run to the refrigerator. Wednesday, December 30, 2009. I painted my nails Super Woman Blue today, also called Surf City Blue. For some reason it gave me a little mental boost and every time I look at them I smile. I'm imagining they are radioactive and leeching super powers into my body through my fingernails. haha. I am a dork. Would a little common sense be a good idea, maybe? Shaking my head at myself. Hopefully I've got that under better control for this week.

She Runs: The Recap - Hood to Coast 2010
http://darcyruns.blogspot.com/2011/01/recap-hood-to-coast-2010.html
My brother says he never even saw me run to the refrigerator. Tuesday, January 18, 2011. The Recap - Hood to Coast 2010. I never blogged about Hood to Coast last year. It took a whole six months out of me haha. Such an amazing experience deserves to be recorded, though, and someday I'll wish I had written it down. So here goes. It was bitter cold up on the mountain at that hour on an August morning, but we warmed up soon enough. Maybe So much of the relay is a blur and not because six months have gone by...
