The Right Fits

Hi friends! I'm (hopefully) back to regular blogging with my weekly recaps! If you've been away for awhile, much has happened. I ran the Boston Marathon in April, took a little break from blogging, went through the devastating loss of my mom, and then announced our upcoming move London (in 3 weeks!) Now that we know exactly when we are moving to London, we decided to register for a Continue Reading

This blog is quite dramatic these days, isn't it? First, there was my blow-up at the Boston marathon, then my mom's passing, and now this one... Today's post is kind of a BIG one…But this one is positive! It's been in the works for several months, but I didn't want to share anything until it was absolutely certain. We are moving to London! Dustin was offered a really great Continue Reading

It's been awhile since I published a post here. After the Boston marathon, I took a little break from blogging and social media. I was still running (of course) and strength training as usual, but found some freedom (and a bit of extra time and headspace) by not documenting it all for awhile. But I missed this community; I also missed the Strava community and the Instagram community. I Continue Reading

On Monday, April 18, I completed my 39th marathon, the 126th Boston Marathon. I qualified to get there with my time at the Indianapolis Marathon.

But it was my worst time since.....the Marathon-to-Marathon in Iowa in 2012. Continue Reading

The taper is underway! This was a real cutback week, after many months of 60+ mile weeks. It's also been quite a full year of marathoning; this is marathon #5 in just 10 months: Idaho (3:52), Fargo (3:42), Tulsa (4:04), and Baton Rouge (3:45). Here's how things went this week in training for the Boston marathon! Monday: I was working from home this day, so I ran 4 miles with Ruth over Continue Reading

Three weeks until my 39th marathon, the 2022 Boston Marathon! Can't wait. Okay-technically 15 days until the race! This is my recap of the previous week of training. Here's how things went as I entered into the taper! Monday: 6 solo early morning miles (I went into the office Mon-Wed this week; we are supposed to be in a "majority" of the time, and I like to get my in-office days out of the Continue Reading
