Running

By Trula • May 21st, 2010

So I missed the big Cleveland Rite-Aid Marathon. I initially planned to do the half-marathon, then realized shortly into training how woefully unprepared I was for that. Then I was going to do the 10k, figuring as I used to run that distance twice a week it would be no problem. Nope! a few training [...]

I’m going to run in the Cleveland Marathon 5k run on Saturday…planned to do the half-marathon, then the 10k, but I’m not really ready for either. Baby steps back into running, for me. A 5k run is only 3.1 miles, so it will be an ok run, not strenuous at all. I’m not ready for [...]

Sigh. I’m having foot issues again. This time I stubbed my right foot so badly it broke one of my toes clean in two. That was two weeks ago, I have another 2-4 weeks before it’s fully healed. I have to wear a boot brace and walk on crutches when I don’t wear it, in [...]

I have a love/hate relationship with exercise. I hate doing it, I hate starting it, but I LOVE the way it makes me feel. When I get that endorphin rush, it feels just like right after orgasm, that full, flushed, satisfied feeling of goodness and satiation. I just feel so good, and relaxed, and tingly, [...]

I just discovered Marathon Mommy, a blog about mothers who run marathons. I’m so excited to come across this blog, because as you know I’m a mama and I like to run and this year I’m doing the Cleveland Rite Aid marathon. The last post asked, Why do you run? Well I run because: -it [...]

In 2007 I did my big weight loss challenge, then in 2008 I did all that training for the half-marathon (but had to miss it cause busted my ankle), so now I’m thinking on what to do for 2009. I still want to do a marathon…I guess I’m going to go for it! That should [...]

Got it in my head to run today…it was cold and storming out…quickly scurried back in. Had to keep my husband’s ear cover/headband on for an hour indoors before my earlobes felt right again LOL This post written by Trula Breckenridge. Thank you for visiting Supple Mama!

We had a nice rain last night that really cooled things down. My run was ok. I really don’t like running in the rain but it was just a sprinkle this morning. I am such a whiner sometimes…yesterday it was too hot, now it’s too wet. I need to get over myself LOL. Already had [...]

Oh my, I have been slacking off and sometimes over eating, which has resulted in me gaining back 4 pounds since last check-in. I have no excuses and anyway if I did, they’re really not valid. So, back into training. The past couple of weeks I have been running but not consistently or frequently; only [...]

Oh man, it’s only 11am (almost) and I have had a full day already after a busy busy fun day yesterday. I have been up since 5am and I didn’t get to sleep until after 12am. I have a meeting in a bit and then another one at 5. I’m going home in between and [...]

It’s been so hot lately I have had a hard time getting motivated. I keep putting off beginning training for a few fitness events I want to do. I have got to get into gear and at least begin running a few miles each day. Then not only will I have done my training, I [...]
