24 Mile Long Run with the Kentucky 5k in the Middle

October 24, 2016

When we set out to do CIM, Steve and I agreed that I needed to race at least a few times. I would have the Indy Monumental Half on November 5th, but we needed at least one other race. My friend Tim had been working hard to set up a new event in Lexington, an…

Don’t you get bored? How often have you heard that when you say that you are a runner? ALLLLLLL the time, right? What do you tell them? Well, if your response is like mine, you watch the surprise cover their face as you say, well, yeah, actually sometimes I do…..oh, and I spend a lot…

Tina Muir

dreams, goals, supportive

I am not sure why, but these past few weeks I have really struggled with what to write about. I feel awkward just talking about myself and what I am doing all the time. I don’t want to become one of those websites where I just tell you about my day. I want you to be…

Tina Muir

marathon, workouts

I was surprised that when I put up a picture about my workout on Instagram, I got quite a few questions from other runners about why doing two workouts is a rare occurrence for me.
