Focus on Finishing Well

May 17, 2012 by Amelia

Have you entered the give away yet for a copy of  Chicken Soup for the Soul: Here Comes the Bride? What? Not yet? Quick, go do it here! Finishing well isn’t easy. I’m definitely not great at it. I made blinds for the windows in our office. Well, for 3 out of 4 windows, that […]

Staying Steady: Run 1,000

January 15, 2012 by Amelia

Last week, I posted at Circle of Friends about how one of my goals for 2012 was to stay more consistently disciplined in all areas of my life, with new daily habits of discipline as opposed to catch-up habits. I have a pattern, as I do when I drive, to hit the gas, then coast, […]

What should you not believe?

September 22, 2011 by Amelia

Don’t believe everything you think. That was a bumper sticker that caught my eye on the highway this weekend. I wished I had read that phrase earlier in the day, before I ran my half marathon as opposed to on the way home from the race. I approached mile 10 that day and started feeling […]

August 21, 2011 by Amelia

The slant-y, hill-y 13.1

August 20, 2011 by Amelia

Today, I ran the most challenging 13.1 miles ever. I’m claiming false advertising. The race was local and the pamphlet claimed that the course was beautiful (true), challenging (true), and a nice mix of trail, paved and gravel roads (false). It was 99% trail and nothing nice about it. Will I do it again? Oh […]

Who are you following?

July 11, 2011 by Amelia

My running partner Jen and I recently ran our first trail race. For ten miles, we hopped logs, jumped little streams, dodged rocks and climbed hills. It was the most strenuous and rewarding ten miles I have ever run. Three years ago, I never would have imagined that I could run a race like that […]
