Hello, hello! I'm here with my weekly recap of training for the Houston Marathon, which is 7 weeks away! These next few weeks will be 'peak' training time for the race. It's getting a bit intense! Here's how training went this past week: Monday: 9 miles at a 9:08 min/mile, run commute to work. The trails were clear, though it was quite chilly (in the teens.) I was able to fit in a vinyasa Continue Reading

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope those of you that celebrate the holiday had a wonderful long weekend. (If you only check in here for the weekly recap, be sure to check out the final recap post of our recent trip to Norway: "Fits on the Road in Flåm and Oslo!")

15 Weeks Until the Houston Marathon: I Love Running!
I'm so very behind on my weekly recap; I totally missed HoHo Runs and Taking the Long Way Home's link-up this week! But I'm still here to share how this past week went in training for the Houston Marathon; I have to document it or it didn't happen, right? We are 15 weeks out now; training is ramping up a little bit! Unfortunately I was crazy busy at work this week so all I had time for was Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 16 Weeks Until the Houston Marathon
There are 16 weeks until the Houston Marathon, which will hopefully be my 30th full marathon! Generally most marathon training plans are 16 weeks long, so I guess this is the official kickoff to training. I'm excited and feeling cautiously optimistic. The gorgeous fall running weather this week definitely helped. This is seriously the best time of year to be a runner. I hope this weather Continue Reading
