http://lorrie.icbloggers.com Wed, 02 Nov 2005 20:33:14 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This past weekend I ran my fifth Mini Marathon. Here's what made it awesome: Although it wasn't my best time ever, it wasn't my worst either. In fact, I ran 4 minutes faster than last year. (Ok, 6 minutes slower than my best half marathon time ever, ... http://lorrie.icbloggers.com/2005/05/mini-highlights/ I recently realized something ironic about myself. I am not all that disciplined about running when I'm not training for a race. On the other hand, I hate being told what to do (that's pretty much true of all of my life, not just running), and so it ... http://lorrie.icbloggers.com/2005/05/what-i-love-about-races/ OK, it's been a million years since I blogged and now I have a fresh, new-looking blog site and very stale content. So I felt obligated to blog something. As it turns out, this is a blog that has nothin' to do with nothin'. It's just a ... http://lorrie.icbloggers.com/2005/04/whassup/ It's amazing to me that a woman of my age can still be made to feel guilty by the woman who brought me into the world. Growing up, I always thought everyone's mom was like my mom, and I certainly didn't appreciate the gift that I had in her ... http://lorrie.icbloggers.com/2005/02/my-mom/ In my frequent running experiences at Eagle Creek Park, I have seen lots of wildlife -- deer, coyote, owls, woodpeckers, turtles (I actually rescued a turtle once), as well as more common birds and woodland creatures. But recently I ran into, or probably more appropriately I should say, ran ... http://lorrie.icbloggers.com/2004/11/the-rare-and-seldom-seen/ "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." http://lorrie.icbloggers.com/2004/11/excellent-quote/ I had an interesting experience a couple weeks ago. I went to get my eyes checked. The doctor asked me several times if I had ever had a head injury. I told him each time that I couldn't remember having one. (Doesn't that kind of go ... http://lorrie.icbloggers.com/2004/11/head-injuries/ OK, I knew it would happen eventually. I just didn't think it would be this soon. When Jeremy started cross country just a few short weeks ago, he ran with me a couple times and had difficulty keeping up with my pace and endurance. This past week ... http://lorrie.icbloggers.com/2004/10/the-flash/ Disclaimer: This is not a very happy post, so if you're in a bad mood, you might not want to read it. Depression, like Carl Sandburg's fog, is creeping in on my life on little cat feet. It's taken me awhile to figure out what it was that I ... http://lorrie.icbloggers.com/2004/09/perspective-2/ That's what the last few days in Indiana have been -- a gift from God. Pristine blue skies, just a hint of crispness in the air in the mornings, but warming up beautifully by mid-day, cool evenings, no humidity. I know there are some places in the world ... http://lorrie.icbloggers.com/2004/09/a-gift/
