Austin 1/2 Marathon – Recap
Posted by: celluloidcinemaier on: February 18, 2010
Now that things have settled down a wee bit, I can finally write my little entry about Austin. First off, lemmie say how so very thrilled I am to have the opportunity to experience the Boston Marathon expo later this year (no, I’m not running Boston!! Don’t be silly!), as I was kinda disappointed with [...]
Countdown to Austin beings NOW
Posted by: celluloidcinemaier on: February 7, 2010
My final long run yesterday morning was not without a little adventure. 6 miles was on the sked, but it was a new route. And I got a little lost about 3 miles in. When I get lost, a few things happen — I start to run faster, my rhythm gets altered and my mind [...]
Triumph

Hallelujiah! This morning’s 10-miler was AWESOME. Didn’t walk a step and felt great the whole time. I very much needed this confidence-booster going into the Austin 1/2 Marathon. Starting with last week’s horrible 10, the stress level of my workweek was off the charts, and as a result, my heart was racing for a good [...]
Mouth Shut

I thought about posting about my horrendous 10-miler this past Saturday, but because I whined and moaned and complained and kicked and screamed all that day about it, I decided I wouldn’t revisit the bitterness and defeat I felt when my endurance decided to abandon me at Mile 6. I’m over it. Let’s move on, [...]
Feelin’ Good about the Austin 1/2
Posted by: celluloidcinemaier on: January 18, 2010
12-MILER I am feeling wonderfully sore this morning after yesterday’s 12-miler. It was a tough-y, as I am still working on the stamina re-build, but I was happy to discover I still had it in me to at least go that distance — makes me feel good about taking on the Austin 1/2 Marathon. I [...]
Change for the Better?
Posted by: celluloidcinemaier on: January 10, 2010
CH-CH-CH-CHANGES There’s no reason there should be a question mark at the end of my post title. It is a change for the better. Period. I know it is wiser to run a strong 1/2 marathon than to run a crappy, possibly debilitating full marathon. And so, I made the official downgrade through the Austin [...]
My RnR-San Antonio 1/2 Marathon Experience
Posted by: celluloidcinemaier on: November 24, 2009
(Copied and revised from ATTTID) I find it hard to believe that race weekend has already come and gone. So many trials and tribulations led up to Sunday, November 15, but, in a nutshell, every obstacle was worth the payoff. I triumphantly crossed the 1/2 marathon finish line at a slow and steady time of [...]
Rock n’ Roll – San Antonio TOMORROW!
Posted by: celluloidcinemaier on: November 14, 2009
We should all be corralled in less than 24 hours. But today, Kelly, Dawn and I head to Expo to get our race numbers! (Amanda got hers yesterday!) Whoa, Nelly! www.rnrsa.com
