Weekly Recap: 6 Weeks Until Antarctica!

Weekly Recap: 6 Weeks Until Antarctica!

Hello, hello! I'm here with my usual weekly recap, this time counting down to the Antarctica Marathon! I have to admit, I am a little superstitious about counting down to Antarctica after what happened last year. (If you're new here, I was 3 weeks out when I broke my leg and couldn't go.) It all feels very familiar to be counting down again to the same trip. I really hope I'm not setting myself Continue Reading

2018: A Year in Review

2018: A Year in Review

At the end of every year, I usually recap the year in running on the blog. Usually those recaps include multiple marathons. For example, in 2016, I ran FIVE full marathons in one year. But this year?  Zero marathons. Running in 2018 was defined by one thing- a broken leg*. *And a cancelled trip to Antarctica. I'll go ahead and recap each month... January 2018: I was excitedly Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 4 Weeks Until the Houston Marathon

Happy Holidays! I hope you had an awesome week. I'm here with my weekly recap of training for the Houston Marathon, which is 4 weeks away! This was a big week in training, though I did take an unplanned (though much needed) rest day. Here's how things went this week: Monday: I ran to meet my friend Christie for a morning run; we did 5 together and I did 4 alone to get to 9 miles at a 9:20 Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 5 Weeks Until the Houston Marathon

Five weeks until my 30th full marathon! I'm really starting to get excited to take on 26.2 miles again...I just love marathons and have missed them in 2018. Darn broken leg. 2019 is going to be a much better year! This week was a bit of a cutback week in training for Houston and I'm excited that I was able to fit in more non-running activities! Here's how things went: Monday: 9 easy miles on Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 6 Weeks Until the Houston Marathon

6 weeks to go! This week was definitely a 'peak' week in mileage. Next week will be a cutback before two more hard weeks, then the taper. Then on to my 30th full marathon and first one back since breaking my leg- woo-hoo! Here's how this past week went. Monday: Run commute; this was my only opportunity to run commute this week since Dustin was traveling the rest of the week for work. Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 7 Weeks Until the Houston Marathon

Hello, hello! I'm here with my weekly recap of training for the Houston Marathon, which is 7 weeks away! These next few weeks will be 'peak' training time for the race. It's getting a bit intense! Here's how training went this past week: Monday: 9 miles at a 9:08 min/mile, run commute to work. The trails were clear, though it was quite chilly (in the teens.) I was able to fit in a vinyasa Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 10 Weeks Until the Houston Marathon

Another week, another weekly recap of training for the Houston Marathon! Time is flying by and there are just 10 short weeks until I run my 30th marathon at the end of January. *Quick note- if you only check in here for my weekly recaps, be sure to check out this post, the 3rd post about our trip to Norway- this time recapping our time in Bergen! Winter arrived in full force this week in Continue Reading
