Hi Everyone!!!!

This is just a reminder that the CRU kids will be meeting again this Sunday at 7:30 pm at Flat Top Grill @319 W North Ave. This is just around the corner for the Sedwick stop on the Brown line or there is lots of parking around as well. Please let me know (if [...]

almost.

Great (!!!!) run today. The plan was an 8 mile general aerobic run. Our original plan was to catch the 8:36am train out of Wheaton and end up in the city and run from there. However there was a torrential downpour and we didn’t know when it was going to end. We didn’t want [...]

It went better. We did a 5 mile recovery run today…I have taken ‘recovery’ to mean just run slow and comfortable. I have stopped taking Garmin on these runs because I don’t like to worry about my pace and whatever. I like to just move and flow and look around etc etc.

So it was 5 [...]

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

We decided to put our window unit in the bedroom yesterday and oh my! what a great decision that was. I was cold when I was sleeping and all wrapped up in my blankets and out for a full 7 hours. I am so happy that I was able to get some sleep. With the [...]

I could say the 8 miles went swimmingly and we just jolly like knocked the miles off at an 8:45 pace. Sadly we did not.

Disappointed? Yes.Surprised? No.

Not sleeping or eating well or running for 1.5 weeks, plus running in this obsene heat all adds up to Jason and Leah looking at each other and going, [...]

Well kids, the 23rd is almost upon us and as you might remember this was our planned meet up day for the CRU.

YEAH!!!

This month, the restaurant is Flat Top Grill at 319 W. North Ave and the time is 7:30pm. There is parking in the neighborhood and this is also right around the corner for [...]

But I can’t REALLY complain about this weather because I am bringing some of it on myself.

Jason and I live on a 3rd floor apartment that is air conditioning-less. Which is fine most of the time. If you can just get through the bad days then the days when it’s 80-85 really aren’t that bad [...]

Hello fellow runners & readers.

I had been doing book reviews every time I finished a book and the cute little picture on the right hand side would change when I started a new one. With the craziness the last two weeks with getting ready to leave and trekking across the UK I have gotten behind. [...]

We got through the 16 hour work day here at Fermilab yesterday and are starting in on the next one. I’m in some kind of weird state of awakeness. So the deal is that both Jason and I are on shift this weekend. I am going midnight-8am and then Jason from 8am-4pm. Of course it [...]

Well it’s time to get back into it. Read here what we have been doing for the past two weeks.

I have to admit I’m a little scared to start training again. The week before we left I tried so hard to get all the runs in. To get all my work done. To get [...]
