Friday Friday didn’t start out as a packed day…but I tried to make the most of it. I was able to get out in time for a “long run”. I planned on donating blood at work in the morning, so I would have rather got out early enough to get 8-10 miles, but I was… Continue reading sports + breakfast |Weekend Wrap

Well, like last weekend, I pushed my long run to Sunday – so last week’s numbers aren’t as high as I was thinking…which is probably a good thing! Not all weeks need to be 40-50+ miles to feel like a successful week – sometimes just overcoming the “everyday” is enough to keep you going! This… Continue reading marathon training w15

Well, this week was WAY better than last week when it comes to getting active… I am in a bit of a running funk – but it could just be lingering fatigue from driving 16+ hours over the weekend and running a great race on Sunday.
