The Right Fits

10 weeks until marathon #39, the Boston Marathon on April 18! Here's how training went this past week in the frozen tundra: Monday: It's not quite so easy to 'never miss a Monday' when you wake up to -4 degrees, you know? I was tempted to cancel on my friends, but I forced myself to get up for 7 easy miles, 9:20 min/mile average. It was another frozen lashes kind of morning Continue Reading

Hello! I missed my weekly recap last week; my mom had surgery and had some complications afterwards, so it was a stressful week. Fortunately, she is stable (thank goodness), though she'll be in the hospital for awhile. I shared a bit more on a post earlier this week, the February Ultimate Coffee Date with Deb and Coco. Please get vaccinated. And thank you to all the wonderful health care workers Continue Reading

This is my first time linking up with Deb and Coco for their monthly Ultimate Coffee Date. This link-up is a bit more personal, a bit more random… Here goes! If we were having coffee together, mine would probably be a non-fat latte. That's usually my coffee order of choice! I don't like a lot of sugar or sweetener, just coffee or espresso with some sort of a milk. I'm also a fan of a Continue Reading

Last Sunday, January 16, I completed my 38th full marathon and 27th state on my quest to run a marathon in all 50 states. For a full list of marathons that I have run, check out this page.

Yes, that title is correct! I ran the Louisiana Marathon today in Baton Rouge! After the Charleston marathon was cancelled, I was getting comfortable with having Boston in April be my next marathon. But then an instagram friend who was in the same situation mentioned that she was looking at the Louisiana Marathon- same weekend (Sunday, instead of Saturday like Charleston). It was easy enough Continue Reading

Well, it kind of feels like March 2020 over here! I was not expecting the Charleston Marathon to be cancelled due to Covid in January 2022, but it was. I respect and understand the race organization's decision, but that doesn't make it less disappointing. I was excited for this marathon, my training had gone relatively well, and I was particularly looking forward to exploring Charleston Continue Reading

Happy New Year, friends! I shared a little recap of my year earlier this week, catch up on that post HERE. I wish you all the best for 2022. The final week of 2021 was a lot of treadmill running due to dangerously low temperatures/ wind chill advisories in the Twin Cities. There's no shame in running on the treadmill- it's still running, it's still beneficial, and it still counts. :) Continue Reading
