I missed my weekly recap last weekend. I guess that my training recap from 6 weeks until Indianapolis will forever remain a mystery! I don't think I've ever missed a recap before, but I figure it doesn't make sense to squeeze it all into one long recap, so I'm just moving on to this week's recap... But before I dive into my recap, be sure to check out my friend Vicki's guest post about Continue Reading

There are now TEN weeks until the Indianapolis Marathon, which will be my 33rd full marathon and 22nd state on my 50-state quest! Here's my recap of training (and life) this past week!

Fits Do Race Reviews: The Brookings Marathon
On May 11, 2019, I ran my 32nd marathon, the Brookings Marathon in South Dakota. It was my 21st state in my 50-state marathon quest.

I wasn't ever planning to run a particular pace and hold that pace no matter what happened Continue Reading

'Twas a good week! I got to run outside TWICE, including my 20 miler! Here's how training went this week for the Antarctica Marathon: Monday: President's Day! I had the day off of work.
