I'm a day late with my weekly recap- so sorry! We spent the holiday weekend at Dustin's family's cabin and the internet service there is not great. I hope you all can link up still with Jess and me. Details below! Here's how my week of training for the New York City Marathon 2017 went: Monday: 7 morning miles with my friends Lindsey and Christie. Barre after work at the Barre Continue Reading

Fits Do Race Reviews: Grandma’s Marathon 2017
Last Saturday, I ran my 27th marathon, the 41st running of Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, MN. This was my 3rd time running Grandma’s. I ran it in 2015. It was a downpour that year, but the rain kept us cool. I set a 13 minute PR! In 2016, I ran it again and it was a bust- red flag situation, super hot, not great. I ran a 3:49- a painful 3:49. Why did I run it again? Well, it's still a great Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Grandma’s Race Week!
Hi all! I'm here as usual with my weekly recap. This week? Race week! I’ll be honest, I was forecast stalking all week. I have three different weather apps on my phone: Dark Sky, Weather Channel, and AccuWeather. I knew it was going to be a warm day, but I was hoping that it might rain on us to keep us cool...Spoiler alert: it was a hot and humid one in Duluth! Since I wasn’t racing the Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 1 Week Until Grandma’s Marathon
This post should really be named "how to deal with IT band syndrome," as I feel like that was the focus of my week! (Actually, that's not a bad idea for a post...stay tuned!) Monday: Rest from running. Barre class after work at Pure Barre. I usually don't go to Pure Barre; it's not that I don't like it, but the Barre Edina is more convenient and I like their classes just a little bit more (they Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Two Weeks Until Grandma’s Marathon 2017
Two weeks until Grandma's Marathon! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather is much cooler in Duluth...I love this summer weather, but not for running! Here's a recap of how this past week went: Monday: We were still in California. I took this as a rest day. Tuesday: Our flight landed around 3 pm, so I did my run around 4 pm. My legs were heavy from traveling, my IT band was Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Three Weeks Until Grandma’s Marathon
Three weeks until Grandma’s Marathon... If you’re catching up, I trained hard for the Boston Marathon 6 weeks ago and am now getting ready to pace my sister Erin in Duluth in a few weeks. Her goal is a 4:15, or a 9:40-9:45 min/mile. My recovery since Boston hasn’t been awesome- between a concussion that kept me out of running for a week and now being plagued by some annoying aches and Continue Reading
