Proud of you.

So excited for you and I plan on tracking you! I won't be able to watch much of it because I have to go to work.

Re: Why Everyone Is Running a Half Marathon These Days

I ran that half in the picture: Zooma Cape Cod. I blogged about it here: http://oceanskater.blogspot...

Re: On Homosexuality: It’s OK to Fight

Brenna Kate Simonds — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 08:22:46 -0000

This is an important point. In 1990, small-town NH, realizing I had same-sex attraction felt like a death sentence. I was not raised in the church. But oh, how I wish someone told me I had options other than to embrace my homosexual desires (which is what I was told was the only option). It would have saved me much pain, brokenness, and heartache.

Mary, the video says it's private, so I could not view it.

I just began a new field of work and am looking for creative ways to excel and help people succeed.

Re: Westford Mommy: Race Day Nutrition--Why I Run with SaltSticks

Brenna Kate Simonds — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:50:39 -0000

That's great! I seem to be able to do a half marathon with just water and 1/2 a GU, but the marathon was a bust. I can't take GU's regularly because they do not sit well. I found some energy chews that are OK. But I wonder if saltsticks might help. They are not sold close by to me, but I'll keep looking into it.

I still want to hear how salt has been helping you with stomach issues....

I tweeted, too :)

Re: Westford Mommy: My Week at Disney & the RunDisney Meetup

It's difficult to say who would be at my dream run - probably just my friends :) I'm so slow compared to even you that I'm afraid I'd be embarrassed. But I wouldn't mind meeting Desi Davila as I've followed her journey pretty closely :)

You did amazingly! Loved reading this!

Re: I’m A Failure…

Brenna Kate Simonds — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 17:44:04 -0000

I really appreciate Robin's comment. I heard someone say recently that turning to food for comfort or anxiety doesn't really work. I disagree. If there weren't some level of comfort there, we wouldn't do it! But the comfort is short-lived because overeating increases depression and anxiety in me in the long run. Overeating also does not help me achieve my goals, goals that will give me joy in the long run.

And I've been struggling, too, Dani. Maintenance is very hard work.

This 5K was sponsored by my home running club! Woo-hoo!

I don't really like jam. Can I still enter?

Re: Westford Mommy: What I Took Home from My Runner's World Weekend

I'd like to hear more explanation of those 4 things you mentioned, mostly the first 3.

Re: Westford Mommy: Racing Too Much

Brenna Kate Simonds — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:35:06 -0000

I do not race very much, but running a very hilly half marathon PR 3 weeks before my 1st marathon was likely not a good decision. I have run 4 half marathons in 10 months, but besides that, I haven't done a serious 5K or 10K in a year!

Re: PJK 5k – 6/3/12 – 23:10 (7:28 min/mile)

Brenna Kate Simonds — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:21:18 -0000

I wonder if the BAA is sold out. I need a 10K or 5K to redeem myself! And I think it'd be fun to run a race on familiar territory :)

You've inspired me to NOT treat this Sunday's Half as a PR opportunity, but rather, have it be a training run. Thank you!
