Number 20

April 5, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well then, this is gonna be a long post! 😉 I don’t have a whole lot of words for this one but I've got plenty of pictures from the last ten years of races! How do I sum up everything that’s gone into making Number 20… Continue reading Number 20

Say No to Say Yes

August 30, 2019July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

Twice in the last week I’ve decided to say no to say yes. To make room for something new and beautiful, I have to set some things aside — maybe temporarily, maybe forever.  I’m not a car person. I was perfectly happy with my 2005 Oldsmobile Alero. I picked that car because it showed the… Continue reading Say No to Say Yes

We Get to Choose Our Own Speed

August 16, 2019July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

I’m starting to run regularly with our one-year-old chocolate lab these days. We’re still working through it — my job is to let him know he’s not in charge. Unfortunately, I’m not always good at my job. The other day I noticed our shadow. He was in front, I was in back and there was… Continue reading We Get to Choose Our Own Speed

Badass Badge? Check!

March 30, 2019May 5, 2019 Anne Brock

Earlier this week I began fretting over the weather for today’s Carmel (Half) Marathon. Every day I looked at the weather app hoping it would change, but it never did. So I posted this picture on social media asking my running friends for advice on what to wear. I got some good tips and I… Continue reading Badass Badge? Check!

Number Fifteen

November 3, 2018July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

It’s only been five weeks since my last race. The app I use for training didn’t have a five week half marathon training plan (go figure), so I used a 10k plan to help keep me moving for the race this morning. I’m not sure it was the best plan, but I just needed to… Continue reading Number Fifteen

I Did It Again

September 29, 2018July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

I can hardly believe what happened today. I didn’t sleep well the past two nights. I was on vacation for the last week. Although I still went out for runs, I was eating differently, sleeping in a strange bed and overall just not in my normal routine. I usually have a big pasta dinner the… Continue reading I Did It Again

My Eye Kept Twitching

July 28, 2018July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

As the Camino approached I knew I needed to make some adjustments in my schedule. For the last year or so I’ve had the unlimited package at my yoga studio. Knowing that I would be gone or very busy for most of June and anticipating the arrival of our puppy in July, I decided to… Continue reading My Eye Kept Twitching

I Needed That

July 7, 2018July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

I haven’t gone for a run since that record-crushing race almost a month ago lol. I took a couple days off then started walking 12-18 miles a day for 11 days. After that I did some site seeing in Santiago and Madrid (more walking!) before the long flight home. Since then I’ve not done a… Continue reading I Needed That

Thirteen

June 10, 2018 Anne Brock

Today I ran my thirteenth 13.1 race – and I beat my best time by 3:20 minutes! I trained really well this winter (there wasn’t much of a spring). For several of my long runs I paced at 10 minutes per mile. However, that was in 40-degree weather with no humidity. Last week I ran… Continue reading Thirteen

The Ups and Downs of Running

May 24, 2018July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

Last Saturday I was feeling anxious about the possibility of rain (of course, it didn’t rain) so I opted to run 10 miles on the treadmill. Worst.Idea.Ever. Oh, it was miserable. Even when it’s hot and humid out there’s at least a breeze created when I move forward. On a treadmill there is no breeze.… Continue reading The Ups and Downs of Running
