Happy Sunday! I'm here with my weekly recap of training for the Atlanta Marathon on March 1, which is just 12 weeks away! Training this week included a lot of treadmill time; the temperatures weren't terrible outside, but the trails were terrible, so I opted inside for the safety of the treadmill. Dustin was also traveling for work, so I felt guilty putting Ruth (our younger vizsla puppy) in Continue Reading
One Week Until the Indianapolis Marathon!
Just one week to go until the Indianapolis Marathon! I've been counting down the weeks to the Indianapolis for quite a while now. Though this will be my fourth marathon of 2019, (Houston, Antarctica, Brookings), it's the first one where I feel like I might be close to where I was pre-broken leg. My goal is to break 3:35, though I think I would be happy with anything in the 3:3X zone. I've put Continue Reading
Two Weeks Until The Indianapolis Marathon
I can't believe we are almost at the end of October, which means we are just two short weeks away from the Indianapolis Marathon! Last week was my peak week, with 70 miles and a 22 mile long run; this was the first week of the taper. I cut back to 56 miles and a lovely rest day! Here are the details of my first week of the taper!Monday: Easy 8 mile run commute, 9:40 min/mile. Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Four Weeks Until the Indianapolis Marathon
The theme of this week was definitely run commuting! Every one of my weekday runs was a run commute. I've mentioned it before, but the only reason it works so well for me is because my husband works in the same building as me in downtown Minneapolis. I am able to stash all my stuff (work clothes, work bag/laptop) in his car the night before. Then I don't have to carry anything while running. I Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 5 Weeks Until the Indianapolis Marathon
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
Weekly Recap: 8 Weeks Until the Indianapolis Marathon!
Weekly recap time! I’m linking up with Kimberly and Deborah for their weekly wrap, details at the end of this post. This was a tough week; I felt like so many factors were working against me and I had to work twice as hard to adhere to my training schedule. For example, Dustin was traveling all week for work, so I was a single dog mom (which is actually a lot of work with a puppy!) We had Continue Reading
9 Weeks Until the Indianapolis Marathon
Weekly recap time! I'm linking up with Kimberly and Deborah for their weekly wrap, details at the end of this post. Here's how my training for the Indianapolis marathon went this past week!
