Happy Tuesday friends! I’m linking up with Kim from Kooky Runner and Zenaida for their Tuesday Topics, Show Off Your Home Gym! Let's talk about home gyms! My 'home gym' is quite small; some may call it more of a fitness “area”, vs. an actual GYM, ha! I live in Minneapolis in a 1920's Tudor style house; I love our house, but living an older home definitely Continue Reading

Welcome to my weekly recap, where I share the details of my training for the upcoming Fargo Marathon on September 25th, which will be my 36th full marathon and 25th state in my 50-state quest. After North Dakota, I will officially be halfway done with marathons in all 50 states, woo-hoo! On to the recap.... Monday: My sister Erin and her kids were still staying with us, so she and I ran 6 Continue Reading

Slow down, summer- you're going too fast! I wish I could pause time during this last summer of working from home. I know I'll look back on this and miss it. But I'm spending it like any other, with lots of running. Here's how this week went in training for the Fargo, North Dakota marathon! Monday: 6 miles with Christie and Julie, 9:14 min/mile average. Barre class at the Bar Method after Continue Reading

Tuesday: First little speed Continue Reading

Last week, instead of a weekly recap, I shared my recap of the Sun Valley Marathon. If you missed it, be sure to catch up HERE. I took the week following the marathon quite easy, with just a few 3 mile runs with Ruth. My quads were SOOO sore. It took most of the week before I could go up and down stairs normally. I did do a small 5k in the town where Dustin's family cabin is in Wisconsin with Continue Reading

This past Sunday, June 27, 2021, I completed my 35th full marathon and 24th state, at the Revel Sun Valley Idaho marathon. (For a full list of the marathons that I have run, check out this page.) The marathon (and half marathon) was split over two days, with 250 runners each day. We registered too late to race on Saturday (that filled first; I love a Saturday marathon!), so Sunday it Continue Reading

I made it to race day! By the time I publish this post, I'll already have hopefully completed my 35th marathon, but I don't want to miss the recap of this 'important' week, the week of the race. Here's how things went in the week before the marathon: Monday: Easy 6.2 miles before work 9:15 min/mile average. My friend Christie is building back after her injury and was cleared to run 30 Continue Reading
