Happy Sunday! I'm here as normal with my weekly recap of marathon training. If you missed it, be sure to check out my last post about our recent trip to Antarctica HERE. Here's how training went this past week: Monday: Marathon Monday in Boston! I got up at the same time as Dustin (who was running the Boston marathon) and worked from the hotel for a bit before heading out for my own run. Continue Reading

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

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
