Signs of Winter
by Clara Grandt on December 21, 2011
Each time December rolls around, I start looking for the signs of winter to start appearing. Christmas decorations (some even up before Thanksgiving), the annual post-collegiate Secret Santa Christmas party, the first few snowflakes, and university students overtaking Panera while they study for finals. Well, all those signs have appeared this year. My tree went up a couple weekends ago, I got a pillow-pet moose at the Secret Santa Christmas party, we’ve had one snow that allowed me to break out my Mizuno breath thermo wear, and I am in Panera surrounded by students ...
Anticipation
by Serena Burla on December 21, 2011
“Let’s do the advent calendar.” That’s what my alarm, aka Boyd, has woken me with almost every morning since December 1st. As we work on number recognition, talk about the days in the month, the purpose of the calendar, etc., I can’t help but be reminded of the countdown to the Olympic trials as well. Perhaps it’s the fact that both events carry so much anticipation, preparation, hope, wonder, and awe. In any case, I’m busy preparing my heart, soul, mind, and body for both.Running has brought about a different pha...
Adding Some Spice to my Life
by Serena Burla on November 21, 2011
Full marathon training is underway, and I have to chuckle as I think of all the ways I fall into the eat, sleep, run, repeat stereotyped runner image. My husband recently told me that I could just skip verbalizing that I’m tired at the end of the day because he already knows. He is a saint for being married to a runner.With that said, I am fortunate that my friends and family not only support my lifestyle as a runner, but also add spice to my life. They help me keep things in perspective and know how to keep me well rounded and sane. To all those who play that...
Jumping In With Both Feet
by Clara Grandt on November 21, 2011
Happy November! Many marathon runners know that November means about two more months to the Olympic Trials marathon! With that on the horizon, training should be getting pretty serious for everyone participating in the Trials . To me, that means doing everything I can to make sure I give myself the best shot at making the Olympic team. Training hard, getting enough rest, preventing injuries, hydrating and eating right, and dreaming big are all part of that preparation. So, in order to ensure I can properly prepare myself, I made a decision to take a tempo...
It’s been a long road to recovery, but I will be back.
by Antonio Vega on November 18, 2011
This has been a very difficult period for me as I have been unable to run until recently. Obviously, I haven’t been able to race at all for more than a year and needless to say, have really missed the pure joy of competing against the best runners in the country.During my downtime, I had to find other ways to push myself to satisfy my competitive instincts. The first two weeks after my hip surgery were brutal since I couldn’t do much, other than use a stationary hand cycle and watch television.But competitive guy that I am, I began timing how long it would take me ...
