There was one word to describe the Hospital Hill Run: Hilly. Oh boy was it hilly. I can confidently say that this race was the hardest one that I’ve done. No, I did not PR. In fact, this was my slowest half marathon that I’ve run… and that is totally okay. In fact, I amContinue reading “Hospital Hill Half Marathon Race Recap”

Help! This taper is killing me!
I have the taper crazies… So bare with this crazy person post. Saturday is my big race and I am not ready, like at all. I hope that is just the taper crazies talking, but my running has been TERRIBLE lately. I struggle to finish runs, my long runs feel like a battle, and IContinue reading “Help! This taper is killing me!”

Some moving, some training, and lots of pictures!
Guess what! I have a furnished apartment! I have a desk, a table, futon, bed… I am a real person with a real place and I love it! I live in a historic building that was a hotel in the 1920’s. My apartment is pretty tiny, but it suits Frank and I (and our twoContinue reading “Some moving, some training, and lots of pictures!”
Moving to Kansas!
It’s been a while since I’ve written a post. To be honest, my life has been absolutely insane with the move. Last week I hardly got any time to run, but even with all the craziness, I managed to get a 5k watch PR on my last run with the Fleet Feet running group. OnContinue reading “Moving to Kansas!”
A Perfect Recovery Run
It’s moving week! I am trying to get some runs in at my favorite spots, since I won’t be in these parts again for a while. Tonight, Frank (the hubby) and I went for a night run. He doesn’t like to run much, but I managed to convince him to go out for an easyContinue reading “A Perfect Recovery Run”
Training Update: Running Longer!
My training has been all over the place this week! I skipped a run on Tuesday because I had a weird strain in my quad (likely due to sitting for over eight hours EVER SINGLE DAY). However, I really redeemed myself by the end of the week. I was excited about signing up for theContinue reading “Training Update: Running Longer!”
Pose of the Month: Some deep hip opening!
So, I kinda fell off the bandwagon in April for Pose of the Month. I figured in celebration of my marathon training, I would start it up again. I picked out a pose for May that I think everyone could benefit from. I have been plagued with unbelievably tight hips. This can lead to painContinue reading “Pose of the Month: Some deep hip opening!”
The Chicago Marathon: I’m in!
It’s official. In 164 days, I’ll be running the Chicago Marathon. What’s in front of me are months of upping my mileage, stretching like crazy, a few 20 miler training runs, and well, crossing that finish line. I think if it hadn’t been for the support of my friends here (especially Kristina’s #peerpressure post), andContinue reading “The Chicago Marathon: I’m in!”
A BIG few days
My last two days have been pretty crazy. Yesterday, I went to the doctor to have them look at a cyst in my right wrist, and they were just like… “yeah, we’re gonna take that thing out”. After a bit of a traumatic procedure (there were lots of needles involved), they removed it and sentContinue reading “A BIG few days”
