I’ve been beating myself up lately because I kind of got out of running. And by getting out of running, I mean that I pretty much completely broke up with it in January and February. We’re talking taking a full week at a time without any run action.
The last time I went a week [...]
I haven’t run more than 9 miles since last year’s half marathon, but I ran 10 last weekend.
And shattered my old 10 mile PR! By 14 minutes.
Check it out — here are my race times (some are embarrassing — note that my mile time for the marathon is my WALKING pace, though I [...]
oooh I’m sooo excited! I had a fabulous run yesterday and I procrastinated enough to make it outside *just* as the sun finally poked out of the clouds.
I ran for 35 minutes, sticking with my plan of increasing my time by 5 minutes a week until I get up to a respectable distance (ie. [...]
I had a PR and hit a milestone of 500 miles today while running… but what sticks in my mind about my run today is the new Pepsi bottle stuck in the beautiful snowy country landscape.
It’s not the fact that it was litter — although that bothers me as well — it’s mainly because [...]
my average time FINALLY made it under 10 min/mi according to Nike+.
And if you notice, I’m pretty close to 500 miles (since August — I’m about 15 miles away from 1000 since last March).
I ran 7 miles last night between the treadmill and track. Dunno if I’ve mentioned this before, but I [...]
I’m meeting a friend for brunch today so I got up early to try to get a run in. Didn’t do so hot on 6 hours of sleep with the ice and the wind, but 5K will do.
Of course, I swear my Nike+ KNOWS when I’m tired or when I’m not motivated and decides [...]
Went for a run on my original running route, which includes the “hill of death” — a half mile nearly straight up and down. YUCK.
Almost killed me but I refuse to stop on a hill, especially that one since it took me nearly 2 years to be able to actually climb it.
Anyway…add these [...]
I’ve been blogging quite bit lately and that’s because I’ve been in Ames with the B-to-the-Eff. I came down Thursday night before a big snowstorm to go out with some graduating friends, got super sick with a stomach flu or food poisoning of some sort and couldn’t go, stuck around for rounds 2 and 3 [...]
I’m super close to 1000 miles for this year on Iowa State’s Rec Milers. That means I get another intermural champion shirt… w00t.
I checked my goals on Nike+ and I’m ahead of both my goals for this month. Awesome.
yay. finally got that last workout to load.
i rock.
which totally reminds me — on Saturday I ran down Grand Ave. and went past a car with a hilarious license plate: MANIROK. (man i rock)
MANIROK’s entire front end was smashed in…like the owner rammed it aimlessly into a pole. MANILAUGHED.
anyway… today’s run= [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
