Happy Sunday! I'm linking up with Jess from Jess Runs ATL today with my weekly recap. Details below if you want to join us! Monday: REST day from running. It had been awhile since I had a rest day. Of course, what's a girl to do with all that free time, right? Ha! So I went to a [solidcore] class since I hadn't been in quite some time and man was I sore afterwards. I just love that Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 7 Weeks Until the Boston Marathon
Another colorful sunrise at the end of my run this week; I would not feel comfortable walking on Lake Calhoun after how warm its been lately, but as you can see, there was someone out there! The warmth was short-lived though; the temperature was back in the 20's by the end of the week. On to my weekly recap of training- only 7 short weeks until the Boston Marathon; here's how it went this Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 8 Weeks Until the Boston Marathon!
The above picture is from a morning run this week...The sun is starting to come out earlier! Spring is on its way :) With spring comes the Boston Marathon. Only 8 weeks to go! When I look forward on my Final Surge schedule, it's a little intimidating. So. Much. Running. I just have to take it one day/one workout at a time. In terms of tune-up races, I am doing the Hot Dash 10 miler on Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 9 Weeks Until Boston!
Is winter coming to an end? I sure hope so! I'm ready for spring...and for the Boston Marathon in nine weeks! Here's my recap of marathon training: Monday: Still in Big Sky. Dustin and I ran 7 hilly miles outside before hitting the slopes one last time (about 9:10 min/mile.) Tuesday: Our flight from Bozeman to Minneapolis was at 5:45 am- eeks! After we returned home, I crashed for a few Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 10 Weeks Until the Boston Marathon & a Trip to Big Sky!
Wow, only 10 weeks until the Boston Marathon! Training is flying by. This week was a huge cutback week as I went on a ski trip to Montana with my sister, her husband, her husband's sister and husband, and Dustin, of course. It was a blast, but we didn't squeeze in a ton of running. Here's how it all worked out: Monday: 7 miles easy with my friend Christie before work, 9:05 min/mile Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 12 Weeks Until the Boston Marathon 2017
Happy Sunday! I'm back as usual with my weekly recap of training for the Boston Marathon. Here goes: Monday: Day off of work- I took advantage of the holiday by sleeping in, lounging on the couch with coffee and a book for a while before finally heading out for my run around 10:30 am. I think I was dreading the workout a bit, as it was my coach's notorious 15-10-10-5 workout. 1 mile to warm-up, Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 13 Weeks Until the Boston Marathon!
Happy Sunday all! How was your fitness and fitness fashion this week? Let me know in the comments! After last week's 60 mile week, my coach had me do a bit of a cutback this week. There was still one intense workout, but overall, this was an easier week. Lower mileage, no doubles, more resting. Here's how it went down: Monday: Tempo workout! 2 miles to warm-up, 6 miles at a 7:35 pace, 2 Continue Reading
