Just ran my 2nd half this weekend at the annual Kansas City Corporate Challenge. Wasn't planning this race but since I work for a software company, there aren't a lot of 46 year old women they could coax to run in my age group!
Since this was a race for team points, I wanted to do more than just finish happy this time around. Unlike my first half a few weeks ago, I wanted to…

I "Rocked the Parkway" on April 14th. Just now getting around to posting about the experience.
This was the first time I'd raced a half-marathon so no time goals. I only wanted to finish and not walk. I was aiming for 2:10 and finished in 2:08. Not going to win any races with that pace but mission accomplished!
During my training runs, my left hamstring, periformis and Achilles would act up on…

We've been fortunate to have some lovely weather here in Lawrence, KS. Spring is here and so are the inaccurately named June bugs.
I'm in the final stretch before my road race next week. In preparation, I've done nearly all my mileage on that cruel mistress, asphalt, in the hopes that I'll be extra speedy. Unfortunately, all city and no nature mileage makes Melinda a dull girl. Perhaps it was a little Caballo Blanco melancholy, hard to say but I just wasn't in the mood to share the…

Hello! (c: Thanks for the "friend" invitation-I'm glad to see that other kansans are out there in this big ol' world of running. I've actually gotten a taste of the Lawrence running crowd by going on the Clinton Trail Wednesday run with a group and a few of the girls only Thursday runs at the Lawrence River Trails. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip out to CO-I grew up there and definitely miss the mountains and all that wonderful outdoor appeal.
Just wanted to drop in and say hello-happy running this week!
