Another wintry week of training for the Antarctica Marathon, while living in Minneapolis! Here's how everything went this past week: Monday: 8 mile run commute into the office. Slippery, snowy, same old story in Minnesota in January. Tuesday: Rest day! I had a work event at a cooking school; it was so much fun! Wednesday: I was awake and in my running clothes, ready to run commute. I Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Training for the Antarctica Marathon
Cheers to running outside! Though my paces were slower than normal, I got outside for all but 10 out of 60 miles of running. Yay! Here's how this week of training for the Antarctica marathon went: Monday: HUGE blizzard in Minnesota, just as forecasted. I think in the city we received over a foot of snow. It was the most snow in a single day in the past 7 years; it was nuts. It started in the Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 8 weeks Until the Antarctica Marathon
Okay, I know last week's post was "8 Weeks Until the Antarctica Marathon" but I was wrong. This week is actually 8 weeks until the race, 7 weeks until we depart on the trip. Whoops! **And for any potential burglars planning to stop by while we're gone, my sister's family is going to be housesitting for most of the time, so I wouldn't recommend it! Back to the recap of training for the Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 8 Weeks Until the Antarctica Marathon
Another week of winter running complete...It wasn't my strongest week, but here's the recap: Monday: 6 miles at an 8:58 min/mile pace outside. This was supposed to be my rest day, but it was warm outside (in the 30's!) so I moved my schedule around so I could take advantage. I probably shouldn't have though, as my IT band was SUPER sore and I struggled. I had to stop a lot to stretch and was 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: Recovering from the 3 Bridges Marathon
Happy Holidays! I hope everyone had a great long weekend. I'm a little behind in my weekly recap, since I was focused on publishing my 3 Bridges Marathon recap- check it out! As I mentioned in that recap of the 3 Bridges Marathon, Jess and I will no longer be hosting our link-up, so today I'm just linking up with HoHo Runs/Mississippi Piddlin to share my training details. I'm not technically Continue Reading
Holiday Celebrations & 1 Week Until the 3 Bridges Marathon
Hello there! How are things? I'd say that things are a bit busy over here, and I've been slacking a bit on my blogging. But I'm happy to have these weekly recap posts to keep me accountable! I'm still settling in at my new job and the holidays are always busy. I'm sure things will slow down and I'll be writing more here again soon. Until then, I'll still be linking up with Jess from Jess Continue Reading
