Hill Training – A Blog About Running, But Not Really
<p>Realization: Maybe the stretch of sidewalk I routinely run on isn’t the best to train for a race. Jody (the best running buddy of all time) and I run on fairly flat ground. Maybe there are two hills. {mostly likened to steeper inclines} But nothing like the “KnoxHill” Marathon. We train there because Jody and I … <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2013/04/15/hill-training-a-blog-about-running-but-not-really/">Continue re

A Blog About Running. But Not For Runners.
<p>Do you know what I love most about running a race? Lord knows it ain’t the winning.

Here is an excerpt from my journal… March 29, 2010 Oh Lord, we did it. Thank you so much for such … <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2010/03/29/reflections-post-race/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a></span></p>

water, carbs and Jesus
<p>Well, I’m gonna blog about it. If I am going to be real about where I am, then I have to blog about it. The Marathon. Tomorrow. Eighteen weeks of training in the bag and now I just wait. And drink water. And eat carbs. And wait. I intentionally haven’t talked about the marathon much … <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2010/03/27/water-carbs-and-jesus/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a></span></p>
