I need to apologize in advance for three things: 1. I’m recycling photos. 2. It’s REALLY hard to write this without sounding like I’m bragging. That’s not my intention at all, and even though I’ve gotten fastER, it’s not like I’m anywhere near elite status. I’ve just set some new [...]

OK, now I’m completely convinced these compression socks really are magic. My third time wearing them and getting a PR! After my 10K PR a couple weeks ago, I entered that time into the McMillan Pace Calculator to see what time I should be shooting for in the half marathon. [...] Yep, wore the magic socks again…now I’m 2 for 2 getting PRs while wearing them! I tweeted before this race that I wanted to run under 21. I figured putting it out there would be extra motivating, because I would hate to have to then tell the 18 people [...] I ran in compression socks today. I kind of felt like I looked ridiculous (and I am sure that if my sister had seen me this morning she would have said something along the lines of “oh God, Cate, no. Just no.”), but I PRd, so looks really didn’t [...] Lessons learned from this race: 1. It’s a good idea to make sure you’ve looked at the course map in case the course is poorly marked 2. My friends are really fast 2. Having a kiddie pool full of ice and alcohol at the end of a race is [...] This was a year with one REALLY big change. Eleanor Jane Melton made her debut in September! Since then, I’ve become extremely proficient in running with the jogging stroller and prepping meals quickly with her in the Ergo. Although I didn’t set any new PRs this year, I still had [...] This was a GREAT race for me for a couple reasons. 1) I decided to run without a Garmin. I love my Garmin, but usually I tend to fixate too much on the time and stress myself out. Sometime late last week, I decided I’d rather try and run [...] Mike and I both had trail races this weekend, and both were a TON of fun. On Saturday, Mike ran the Pacific Coast Trail Runs 17km race at Huddart County Park in Woodside. As you can see in the above photo, Ellie was thrilled. There was a LONG line [...] This weekend was the Foodbuzz Festival! Last year’s was fun, but I think I liked this year’s more. I had the baby and a bottle ready so that as soon as Mike got home on Friday night, I could head into the city for the first festival event at Terra [...] HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Yesterday was Ellie’s first race, the DSE Great Highway 4 Mile (which ended up actually being 3.95 miles – hello autmatic PR!) It was a beautiful morning to run! Mike pushed Ellie in the stroller and Courtney met up with us at the start (she’d already run 4 [...] |
