After finishing the Holy Half Marathon, I think I can confidently say that I really love the half marathon distance. I was a little worried that A1A was a fluke, in both performance and enjoyment, but I ran almost the exact same time at the Holy Half AND I had fun doing it. And plusContinue reading “Race Recap: Holy Half Marathon!”

Training Update: Race Week!
I didn’t really do a whole lot of running this week besides the race. Frank and I spent a lot of the week going through our stuff. We’ve already brought two carloads to Goodwill! It feels great to be cleaning stuff out, and I can’t wait to move. I know, Kansas might not sound likeContinue reading “Training Update: Race Week!”
Race Jitters and Goals
‘Tis the night before race day… and I still have no idea what I want out of it. I guess that’s becoming a trend with me. I think I’ll just wake up tomorrow and see how I feel, and that will kinda determine the time that I go for. Unfortunately, this is going to beContinue reading “Race Jitters and Goals”
Training Update: Great week with some PR’s and wins!
Sorry that I’m late on the post, I’ve just had a crazy weekend and Monday! I had a great week, with a PR on my virtual 10k and an age group win for a 15k.

Am I Crazy?
I am still sore from running my first half marathon two days ago and I went ahead a signed up for the A1A 2016 Half Marathon. Oh, and where they asked for anticipated time… I put 1:45. I guess I have a lot of speed work to do. 🙂
A1A Half Marathon Race Recap: I crushed it!
Some days you go out and they are perfect. Perfect weather, perfect energy, perfect race. The A1A Half Marathon was just that and I killed it. My goal was really just to finish, and in the back of my head, I wanted a sub 2-hour half, which I thought was impossible. My time was 1:56:48.Continue reading “A1A Half Marathon Race Recap: I crushed it!”

Running Nutrition Review
As you all have heard, I am running my first half marathon on Feb. 15 (wow…that is so soon). When I first started my training, I was really unsure about using gels and if they’d work for me in the race. So, I started trying a bunch of stuff out. I typically have a veryContinue reading “Running Nutrition Review”
The Ups and Downs of Training
I am officially less than three weeks out from the A1A Half Marathon, and I have no idea what to expect. This week was full of ups and downs. On the up, I seemed to have beaten the flu. On the down, well, I had a flare up of my IT band syndrome on Wednesday’sContinue reading “The Ups and Downs of Training”
training update with very little training
The A1A Half Marathon is 33 days away and for the past week, I have not been training. I came down with the flu and was too sick to be awake, no less to run. This certainly causes some hiccups in the training plan, but I am more concerned about getting over the flu than breaking 2Continue reading “training update with very little training”
