I'm back with one last post about our trip to Antarctica! I have written all about the Antarctica Marathon and the non-Antarctica parts of our trip to Antarctica. And then I shared the first post full of pictures from Antarctica, be sure to check those three posts out if you missed them. I left off on that last post on March 19th.

Weekly Recap: 4 Weeks Until the Brookings Marathon!
Happy Sunday! I'm in Boston right now, getting ready to cheer for Dustin at the marathon tomorrow. It's shaping up to be a much better day weather-wise than last year! It's so fun to be here without the nerves and the stress of racing tomorrow. :) I had my fair share of that in 2017! But seriously, I don't think I have ever travelled only to spectate/cheer and I think it's going to Continue Reading

Fits on the Road: Antarctica!
So now I have written all about the Antarctica Marathon and the non-Antarctica parts of our trip to Antarctica. Now it's time for some Antarctica pics, right? I have so many I want to share so I do think I'll need to split this up into at least two posts, if not maybe three! I just want to share ALL the pics! March 13, 2019:In this post, I cut off when we flew to Ushuaia, the southern-most Continue Reading
The Non-Antarctica Parts of our Trip to Antarctica (i.e. Argentina & Uruguay!)
I recapped the Antarctica Marathon in THIS POST. It was the most challenging marathon I have ever done. Check out all the gory details there! Now, I'd like to share a recap of the rest of the trip, which, to quote my friend Phil from the Cayman Islands (who took the same trip a few years ago), was a "belter of a trip." A "belter" of a trip for sure! I know most of you want to see more pictures Continue Reading
Fits Do Race Reviews: The 2019 Antarctica Marathon
On Sunday, March 17th, I completed my 31st full marathon, the Antarctica Marathon. It was also my fourth continent in my quest to run a marathon on all seven continents, and the second marathon I have run since I broke my tibia/fibula in February of 2018. I feel like I have so much to write about with regards to this once-in-a-lifetime trip to the "last continent," but I thought it would be Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 2 Weeks Until the Antarctica Marathon
Antarctica is oh, so close! Keeping my fingers crossed that Dustin and I stay healthy all week and are safely en route to Argentina next weekend. Here's how training for the marathon went this past week: Monday: I ran after work this day: 2 miles easy, then 10 hill repeats of 0.20 miles each at 3-4% incline at 8 min/mile, recovery for 0.10, 1 mile cool-down. Hills are tough on the Continue Reading
