Death Wears Purple Running Shoes: The Finale

Posted on 10/27/2012 by welderbeth • 4 Comments

Hi there. Beth here. I’m currently sitting in my kitchen. My eyes are bloodshot, my knees are locking up when I walk, and the bottom of my feet are on fire. I ran a half-marathon today. I moved my body 13.1 miles, and lived to tell the tale. Here it is. The day before the … Continue reading →

Death Wears Purple Running Shoes: Week 12

We’ve been playing a really fun game with UPS this week called, “Why won’t you just leave the package on our porch like we asked you to?” so my training schedule got thrown off because I wanted to be home in case they decided to stop by while someone was actually at home. Don’t worry … Continue reading →

Well, I went running three times this week. I ran for an hour and forty minutes this morning but on Thursday, I may or may not have decided to “run” in my living room and watch an episode of….. Oh, look! See that shiny thing! Is it a metal butterfly? Oh, no? Just a gum … Continue reading →

Death Wears Purple Running Shoes: Week 8 {The 5 Stages of Grief}

Just to refresh your memory, I’m training for this half-marathon using an mp3 training program that is based on time. It’s made for you to run 3 days a week- the first day you run six minutes and then walk 3 minutes (and you do that multiple times), the second day you do a __ … Continue reading →

Death Wears Purple Running Shoes: Week 7

Posted on 09/07/2012 by welderbeth • 2 Comments

On my run this morning, I was thinking that I wouldn’t have much to write about because this week’s runs were boring, uneventful, as runs should be. Well, ask and the sidewalks shall be uneven for thee. I prefer a Slow-Mo Superman fall, where my limbs are all splayed out like a cat who is … Continue reading →

Death Wears Purple Tennis Shoes: Week 6

Posted on 09/03/2012 by welderbeth • Leave a comment

I went running on Saturday with my friend, Ashley, who is the friend who said that she ran so slow that she was running 12-minute miles and I laughed outloud. She’s been running with another half-marathoner friend who was out of town this weekend so I got to play substitute. We went to the Katy trail, which … Continue reading →

Imma be honest with you. I don’t know what week number we’re on. We haven’t been running en schedule like we should be because we’re worried that our tennis shoes will melt to the asphalt AND our schedule has been so busy that, at this point, I would welcome the end of the world because I … Continue reading →

Alex and I took a week off from running to train for the Tour de Gap. Haven’t heard of it? Haven’t heard of the bike race in Buffalo Gap, Texas which is a city that has approximately 432 people? Okay, weirdo. It’s a bike race benefitting a local food bank and you can choose from … Continue reading →

Death Wears Purple Tennis Shoes: Week 4

(Sigh, okay this is actually from last week but I’ve been busy) Gracie came with me on my interval run this week (six minutes of running/three minutes of walking x5). Luckily, I earned my place as the neighborhood lunatic in the process. Gracie is “leash trained” but she still goes psycho when she sees another … Continue reading →
