The Right Fits

Hello there and welcome to my weekly recap; I shared last week that I am registered for the Fargo marathon on September 25th and this is my recap of training for that race. Let's dive right in! Monday: I ran to meet Christie before work and did 4 with her, and then ran home for 7 miles total. 9:17 min/mile average. Barre class at the Bar Method after work. 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

Welcome! I'm recapping training for the Idaho marathon on June 27th; this recap is for training as of two weeks out, but as of today, the race is just one week away! I'm very excited to toe the line for 26.2 miles. It's been over a year and a half since I've done a marathon. By this time next week, I hope I'm relaxing with a cold drink smiling about that morning's race! Here's how this past Continue Reading

Another week of training for the Idaho marathon is complete! From today, there are actually only TWO weeks until Idaho; I'm recapping the last week, as usual, linking up with Running on the Fly and Confessions of a Mother Runner, see the end of this post for more information! It was a hot week in Minneapolis; yes, in Minnesota, we get the hottest hot and the coldest cold! Be sure to check out Continue Reading

Happy Tuesday friends! I'm linking up with Kim from Kooky Runner and Zenaida for their Tuesday Topics, Tips for Running in the Heat! Timely, right? I feel like most of the country is in the middle of a crazy heat wave. As a Minnesotan, some may think I should stick to sharing tips for running in the cold, not the heat! But we actually get all the fun extreme weather here. We set record Continue Reading
