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!”
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!”
Training Update: Hospital Hill Half training, with a little slacking off
Last week kicked off my training for the Hospital Hill Half Marathon. As you know, I have some lofty goals, so training has been kicked up a notch. However, I’ve already slacked off a bit and skipped my long run (Boooo…) because my mom was in town. I figured that was a good reason toContinue reading “Training Update: Hospital Hill Half training, with a little slacking off”
Hospital Hill, here I come!
I have started training for my next half marathon, which has gotten me to thinking about what my goals are. I am way more confident going into this next half and I’m hoping for a BIG PR. I also realize that it might not be possible… and that’s ok. But I am going to useContinue reading “Hospital Hill, here I come!”
Training Update: Another Nice Relaxing Week
Last week was my final chill week before I start training for the Hospital Hill Half Marathon. It has been nice to run when I want, and not when I don’t, but I am pretty excited to get back to a regular schedule. I’ve had a few aches and pains that I’ve been working through,Continue reading “Training Update: Another Nice Relaxing Week”
Oh man… I saw something cute on a run!!!!
Last week, with the stress of work and moving, I decided to listen to my body and take a break from running for a week. I was having persistent lower back pain and some weird spots in my right foot. I concentrated hard on my yoga practice, and after a few days, I think I yoga-edContinue reading “Oh man… I saw something cute on a run!!!!”
Race Recap: Holy Half Marathon!
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!”
