I have a special guest post today from my younger sister Laurie, all about training for the City of Lakes half marathon after having her second baby, and using a coach (yours truly!) for the first time. Enjoy! Don’t let anyone lead you to believe that training for a half marathon post-baby is easy. I’ve gone through it two times - doing it two different ways - and both had their unique Continue Reading
13 Weeks until the Houston Marathon & Running in Scandinavia
This weekly recap post is a unique one, as it includes a lot of running in Scandinavia! If you missed it, I shared this Fits on the Road post about the first part of our trip, which included Copenhagen, Denmark and Gothenburg, Sweden. I plan to share similar posts about the rest of our time in Norway; I'll keep this recap post a bit shorter and focused on fitness. But please stop by later this Continue Reading

Though it wasn't an awesome race for me, it was still a cool experience. Read all about it HERE. It was my first international marathon and one of the 6 races that got me my 6-star finisher's medal last Continue Reading

If you’re only stopping in for the weekly recap, please Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 10 Weeks Until the Antarctica Marathon
Happy New Year everyone! Big plans tonight? We are going out to dinner with Dustin's family, but I have a feeling we will be home and in bed before midnight. Just the way this old lady likes it! :) Tilda wanted me to share a photo of her new cozy cove bed she received from Santa (see above photo). She loves it! Vizslas love to be under a blanket; in fact, she sleeps in our bed, but curls up Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 3 Weeks Until the New York City Marathon
Three weeks until the New York City Marathon; it's so close! I'm linking up as always with Jess from Jess Runs ATL. Details below, join us! I'm also joining HoHo Runs/Mississippi Piddlin, who host similar link-ups. Check them out! I generally am a morning runner, but I really struggled this week getting up before work. I think part of it was that my normal morning running buddy Christie Continue Reading
