Sole Sisters are running the Freihofer’s Run for Women 5K fueled by LUNA bars.  The girls will be running on June 1, 2013.

I simply could not wrap my head around the idea that you could race fast unless you trained fast because doesn’t the saying go: “if you want to run fast, you have to run fast?”  I was about to finally learn for myself…

Sometimes we need a change of pace to keep training interesting and new.  For me, trail running running is a refreshing alternative to road running.  Many of us spend our days inside concrete and steel buildings surrounded by electronics, where the only exposure to nature is the sunshine that sneaks through mostly closed blinds.  Running the trails takes you completely out of this man made environment and allows you to breathe in the beauty of the outdoors while getting a great workout!  In short - trail running is good for the body and good for the soul…

The weather isn’t cooperating for a ride - please join us at 6:30 at A Stone’s Throw instead!

Some of you know I’ve been working on repairing myself lately, after I suffered an injury while mountain biking.  Healing physically is going well, but missing rides with all of you has been tough. Here are some ways I have been working towards Happy Healing!

I started my 2013 race season last weekend with the IronGirl half marathon. I was so inspired by the efforts of the 2500 women that came out to run, some of them I know had never done anything even close to this ever before. If you’ve never been able to put your finger on your personal inspiration it’s ok, keep your mind open, take a look around you it’s amazing what you’ll see and some of that may just give you the motivation you need to accomplish you goals.  Something to think about…your energy and enthusiasm might actually be someone else’s inspiration and you don’t even know it.

Happy New Run Season!  Both the Buffalo LUNA and local race calenders are full of great opportunities so get out there and celebrate!
