I feel like I need to come clean; I was quite sad Sunday morning when at about 7:30 I realized I should have been making my way to my corral. Then I was sad again in the afternoon when I realized I should have been crossing the finish line. I didn't even pick up my… Continue reading That time I couldn’t run the marathon

Long time no blog. Here's whats been going on: The high of my week was: Eating a corndog for breakfast at the Minnesota State Fair. Also my giant gummy bear on a stick. The low of my week was: This week has actually been pretty good. Tuesday was our first general membership meeting for Junior League and… Continue reading TGIF

Remember when I said I was going to be around more last week and then I totally wasn't? Also, remember how I said I was going to a barre class Monday instead of running to give my "shin splints" an extra day to heal? Well I gave them Tuesday as well and then on Wednesday… Continue reading #marathonmonday

What a difference a change in the weather makes. I had a GREAT run Saturday. Other than messing up my route somehow so I only did 14.5 instead of 16. Whatever, the important thing is that I felt great the entire time. Some aches and pains but to be expected at this point in the… Continue reading #MarathonMonday

I left my house at 5:30am and it was already 73 degrees and the humidity was at 90%. I was already sweating after a block and really, it was only… Continue reading #marathonmonday
My Running Gear
I, like most runners I'm sure, am very picky about what I wear on my long runs. Much like when I go out for sushi, I don't stray from my tried and true favorites and any attempt to get me to do so results in a mini melt down. My poor hubs would love to… Continue reading My Running Gear

Guys, my 12 mile run Saturday was brutal. Honestly I didn't expect it to be that hard, it was only 12 miles which should have been relatively easy however the route I planned was....well soul crushing. The first half was great, went by quickly and I was feeling good. Then it all went downhill. Or… Continue reading #marathonmonday

Finally, it's Friday! Tomorrow I have my 12 mile run and it's going to be a tough one. I have hill run workouts scheduled in my training but because of where I live, every run is a hill run. No seriously you can ask my friend. The route I have planned for tomorrow has some… Continue reading TGIF
Halfway There
I'm just about halfway through marathon training and while I'm definitely not feeling burnout like I did the last time, it's slowly creeping in. I'm at the point where I have mild aches, soreness everyday. Also tired. Not in a, I didn't get enough sleep or eat well and I feel sluggish tired. Just...tired. I… Continue reading Halfway There
