Moving up a Distance
| August 19, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Somewhere between the Amazon boxes of clinic supplies and wedding stuff, I decided to include an order of running upgrades. I have an older Petzl headlamp – but it’s not quite good enough to run at night. I’m tired of socks with holes in them. I saw this ultrarunning book as a review on a […] more
Sunday laziness
| August 17, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I have a number of half started, barely edited drafts right now….and instead of making any of those coherent (which seems like a lot of work as I sit here in my recliner in the living room), I’m going to write about whatever random thing pops into my head. This is a no-guaranteed pony content […] more
August 12 Pony Play
| August 13, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
It was pointed out that I have been lax in posting Merrylegs pictures. Mostly because my photo opportunities look like this: Tonight I went out to the stable and made a point of taking along the camera.

At the beginning of every month we discuss what happened in the previous month – miles ran, hours ridden, events finished.

Not even sore, not even discolored. I’ve never had a toenail tragedy and part of me feels like I’m missing out on a quintessential part of […] more
SF 50 Ultra Comic
| August 5, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Event Report |
I did it! I ran a not-so-easy fifty mile ultramarathon and finished! Fortunately for *me* ( and rather unfortunately for the blog…) I had a good running day that happen to coincide with race day. I find in these longer races that unless things went very very wrong, nobody cares about a play by play […] more
July IRL 2014

I know, this isn’t the post you wanted to see. You want to see MEL’S FIRST 50 MILE ULTRAMARATHON story. Well. I have sad news for you. Because the timeline of my ultra looked approximately like this…. …it’s going to take me a couple more days to put it together. *Cue impatient sobbing and whining* […] more
