Yesterday on September 11, 2010, The VOICES Club showed up in full force. Seems fitting that our BEST 5k performance would occur on this date. The race was held in Seymour, MO at the town's annual Apple Festival. It is a great little race because it is FLAT and FAST- I have been every year except once for the last 5 years. ...

You don't have to win the race to win. THAT makes sense..... Sure it does. All it takes to win is effort. Put out enough effort and you win every-time. Push yourself to do something you haven't done before- put the time in to make it happen and THEN go and DO IT. That is winning. Won't make you rich or famous but it will ...

Here are the numbers:45 days326 miles7.25 miles/day averageA few 3 milers on the low end and one 17 miler on the high end, several 6 - 10 mile runs sandwiched in the middle.

This is what I asked-Honor those touched by cancer by taking a few steps each day. Do this by running/walking one mile for each person in your life that has or is fighting this monster. One mile at a time- consecutively or on separate days- it doesn't matter. Spread the word and remind others that the fight rages on, get ...

Nothing extraordinary about today's run. 6 miles on the trails during my lunch break. It looked promising because of a little off and on rain all morning but, as is my luck, the sun decided to shine while I ran, making it hot and humid. Of course the rain returned after lunch. I'm almost certain that it was a reminder from ...

Ahhh... Sunday. The perfect day for a long run. I had big plans for today.....had. After yesterday's water slide marathon it was obvious that sleeping in was going to be necessary. No long run today. A short 6 miles kept the streak alive, put me over 200 for the month and added a few more friends to the CLUB. Something ...

Been a long day but in a good way. Managed to sneak in a 4 mile run at 6 AM to keep the streak alive. 41 and counting.... Then it was nothing but water slides and junk food at White Water in Branson. We made the mistake of telling our 7 year old that HE could decide when we left. Yep. Dumb. That's how we roll.....let the ...

Day 40 of "The Streak" is in the books. 297 miles since my last rest day. I hope to extend to 41 but with plans to hit the water park early tomorrow morning, it might get tough. Today was a great 10 miler with 6 miles of gravel and 4 pavement. The pace was very steady, staying right around 7:20/mile and THAT was an ...

~If what you did yesterday still seems big, then you haven't done anything today~ This quote is attributed to Lou Holtz, a MASTER motivator. A friend of mine posted this on facebook a while back and I can't get it out of my head. Maybe it is because I have it written on the dry-erase boards in my office and weight room. ...
