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!!!!”

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!”
Training Update: Well… not the best of weeks…
I know, I know… I still have not posted my race recap from last week. Things have been very stressful and I’ve been going through some ups and downs in my personal life. Actually, my personal life has been all ups. My work life has really been the downs. I think the stress of theseContinue reading “Training Update: Well… not the best of weeks…”
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. This next week is my last full week of training for the Holy Half, and I’m pretty excited to seeContinue reading “Training Update: Great week with some PR’s and wins!”
Training Update: Spring is here!!
This week began with temperatures in the single digits, but ended with highs of 45 degrees. I’m pretty excited about the change, and I’m hoping that the snow leaves for good. I’m definitely feeling a lot better than I was a week ago, and I’m back to my usual training intensity. Also, I jumped on theContinue reading “Training Update: Spring is here!!”
Training Update: Not the best of weeks….
Well, this week was really kind of a crappy one. I slipped and fell on some ice (and tore up my knees) and I got sick. Hopefully I can get better and pick it back up this coming week. Monday: Rest! Tuesday: Intervals for 37 minutes (4.1 miles) I went out after work, but IContinue reading “Training Update: Not the best of weeks….”
It’s cold here in the midwest!
Wow… This week has really been a wonderful experience. I really can’t believe A1A is over AND that I totally crushed my A goal with a time of 1:56:45 for my half marathon debut. On top of all of that… I signed up for the A1A Half Marathon again next year. It was an extremelyContinue reading “It’s cold here in the midwest!”
And the training continues…
This week has been awesome! I’m still on a PR high and I am looking forward to all of the training and craziness of my next Half Marathon. It’s only 38 days away… This half is quite a bit smaller, so I wont have the crowd of people to lean on mentally when the goingContinue reading “And the training continues…”
How about some goals?
Oh man…. The A1A Half is only FOUR DAYS AWAY!!! How did we get here? I guess it’s time to talk about some goals. I feel like I’ve been talking about this race forever. I had planned to run a half marathon back in October, but pushed things off due to injury. So… here we are.Continue reading “How about some goals?”
Heading into Race Week
One week exactly from the A1A Half… and I’m a little nervous. I really don’t know what to expect and honestly, I have no idea what pace I’ll be running it at. I’ve been totally all over the place this week. There was a ton of snow on the ground at the beginning of theContinue reading “Heading into Race Week”
