Still recovering from 26.2 on Saturday. Tuesday: [solidcore] before work with my friend Lindsey, 4 mile run with her after work- so nice to have a friend who does two workouts in one day with you 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: 1 Week to Go!
Only one week until the Boston Marathon 2017! Okay, eight days to be exact. It's actually an appropriate time to start stalking the weather forecast. So far, it looks pretty good (high in the mid-50's.) Fingers crossed that it stays that way. The taper is always a challenge for me- I start to feel lazy and slow. I have to remind myself to trust the process. Trust the training. This is my Continue Reading
