Twin Cities Runner - Coaching: June 2015
http://tcruncoach.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Twin Cities Runner - Coaching. Monday, June 29, 2015. I run and cycle a lot- most weeks I spend at least six hours traveling by foot or bicycle. Too often, I encounter runners looking completely miserable. The other day I passed a woman running the other direction. Her head was down, her ear buds were in, and her face was contorted into a painful grimace. If you're going to exercise, why not enjoy yourself? Running should be fun. If you're not having fun, why do it? Wednesday, June 24, 2015. There's noth...

Twin Cities Runner - Coaching: July 2015
http://tcruncoach.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Twin Cities Runner - Coaching. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. During the summer months, I often lack motivation to go for a run- especially a longer run. I'll sometimes set out to run seven or eight miles, only to become bored and end up running only four or five miles. Workout distance is relative, so whatever distance or time you're running can become a drag in solitude. The solution for many people is to become involved in a group. Group runs abound, and they be a great way to meet new people. Don't forget t...

Adventures of SueBob: City of Lakes 25K Race Report
http://suebob1.blogspot.com/2009/09/this-race-was-little-rough-but-in-way-i.html
Monday, September 21, 2009. City of Lakes 25K Race Report. This race was a little rough, but in a way I am kinda glad. I learned a couple lessons (that I SHOULD have already known). 1) Diet the night before the race really does matter (and Japanese steakhouse is a poor choice for me). I woke up Sunday morning feeling a little sick to my stomach, I think dinner was just a little too greasy (but I LOVE Japanese steakhouse! 2) If you think you are starting too fast, you probably ARE! So, I am thinking maybe...

Adventures of SueBob: Triathlon Race Report
http://suebob1.blogspot.com/2008/09/triathlon-race-report.html
Sunday, September 7, 2008. It was the toughest workout I have ever experienced. And I did way better than I expected. I didn't really know what to expect, but I had an idea of how far I thought I could go on each event. Swim (10 min): I was hoping for at least 10-12 lengths in the pool and I made it 15! Most of them were backstroke, which for some reason is my best stroke. Bike (30 min): I was hoping for 10 miles and I made 11.5! That is 9:16 mpm! Race: Lifetime Fitness Indoor Triathlon (Eagan). 10K - 54...

Twin Cities Runner - Coaching: The Long Run
http://tcruncoach.blogspot.com/2015/08/workout-of-week-long-run.html
Twin Cities Runner - Coaching. Sunday, August 2, 2015. The long "run" is a strange and mysterious creature. "Long" is already a relative term, and though run means, "to ambulate with both feet off the ground simultaneously for a period of time," very few long runs involve running the whole time. Most people stop to drink or use the bathroom. Many break up their runs with walk breaks. Theories of long runs, specifically in marathon training, abound: Jeff Galloway. Has its longest run at 20 miles. Anyone t...

Keep up with these Joneses in Turkey. About Stephanie and Andy. May 24, 2011. 8230;and then I found 20 Turkish Lira. Over the past few days, we’ve been on a short vacation with some friends of ours from the US. Our travels have currently led us to Fethiye, a town on the southwest coast of Turkey where you can find Turkey’s most famous beach, beautiful sunsets, the fantastic bloggers known as Turkey’s For Life. And a lot of retired or vacationing British people. I assumed that the men watching the bill fl...

Twin Cities Runner - Coaching: May 2015
http://tcruncoach.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Twin Cities Runner - Coaching. Sunday, May 31, 2015. How it Began - Twin Cities Coaching. In 2010 I paced my first half marathon, the Minneapolis Half Marathon. I'd been working for the Minnesota Reading Corps- my first "real job" out of college. My $1100 monthly stipend came to about $9.16 per hour. I was making less per hour than I'd earned working at a group home, but I was excited to be putting my teaching degree to work. The perks were great, but I was still nervous about pacing. I practiced tha...

Adventures of SueBob: My First Mile
http://suebob1.blogspot.com/2012/08/my-first-mile.html
Monday, August 6, 2012. Remember when you ran your first mile? I do - I was on the treadmill at the YMCA. I ran until the display said 1.00 and then hit the stop button and caught my breath. Well - now I have another mile to remember.my first mile swim! I actually hit it faster than I expected. Last week, I came. Hmmm, what shall be the next distance goal for the hour long class.I'm not too far off from 2km (44 laps) so that is not much of a stretch, maybe an even 50 laps (2,500 yds)? 1,000 Mile Year.

Thursday, July 24, 2008. Lifetime Torchlight 5K Urban Run - Race Report. Wow – this race was not quite what I was expecting! Since there are no offic. Ial results, I didn’t have last year’s results to check out beforehand. I figured it was a little bigger than what I am used to…maybe about 1,000 runners or so. Ummm, try more like 5,000! E and then took the historic Stone Arch Bridge over St Anthony Falls. (I really need to go do some running along the river! Plus, the kids were great! They didn’t f...
