No, I don’t mean hydration. I mean draaanking drinking. Like alcoholic beverages. I’ve found in the past year or two as I have become more “serious” as a runner, I have all but stopped drinking. I’m sure part of it began as college wound down and I lost interest in drinking just for the sake […]

Not that I ever really left….I’ve just been inexcusably absent. So, in an effort to motive myself and hold myself a bit more accountable, I’ve created an Instagram account to compliment this blog. Or maybe this blog will become a compliment to the Instagram, who knows! Go check out therunetarian on Instagram! What are you
I’m back, with an Instagram! Read More »
Usually if I’m going out for an early morning run, I will try to wake up an hour and a half before so I can eat a banana with nut butter (lately, almond butter instead of peanut butter) an hour before I start my run. If I am going for an early afternoon run, I

I’m still not running….because I am still injured. I went to the chiropractor again last week and got some exercises to do for my hip. I am now in a lot less pain but my hip is still too weak to support itself, which means my calf still hurts too. I don’t know how much
I know it’s been many weeks since my last post, and I apologize. But, I have many excuses for you! There have been some non-running reasons such as finals, graduating college, moving back to California, and of course, being unemployed. You know, life transitions. There is also the fact the my laptop keyboard no longer

Here it is! My post on race day and how it felt to run my first half marathon! Okay, so I know I said I’d write this post yesterday, but to my defense, I spent almost 12 straight hours in the library writing a paper and I just didn’t have it in me. On the

I’m going to cover my first half marathon experience in two parts so you don’t have to read one long blob of writing all in one sitting. In this first post I will discuss the days and moments leading up to the race. I left off with my last post discussing Thursday’s run club, the

All of the things that are exciting about the Inaugural Nike Women’s Half Marathon DC, and some of the things that aren’t: I have to start off this post by saying that last night I met Sanya Richards Ross at run club! Last night’s run club was not the usual easygoing get together, but really

And thank goodness because (I guess) I’ve been injured. I thought about it yesterday, and realized I’d been limping around since Tuesday. So maybe I haven’t blogged in a few days because I’ve been in denial. I went to the chiropractor on Thursday and along with adjusting me (sort of), he helped me sort out
This morning I was engorged in Runner’s World and reading about the elites’ finish at the Boston Marathon. Now Marathon Monday is being looked at in a whole new light, one of tragedy. Whoever the hell did this can’t be a human being. While it is true, I have little faith in humanity, I simply
