Tuesday Topic: Is there a popular race you never want to run?
Kim and Zenaida’s Tuesday Topics link-up for today asks if there is a popular race you never want to run! I have a feeling I've done a few popular races that not everyone wants to do. The biggest one was probably the Antarctica Marathon. Even though there is a waiting list with Marathon Tours of up to 3 years, it still isn't a trip or race that appeals to everyone, and I totally get it! Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: Feeling Optimistic
I don't know if it is the sunny warm weather or the continued vaccination news, but this week had me feeling all kinds of optimism about the end of the pandemic and near future return to normalcy. My runs were mostly those euphoric ones that reminded me why I love running so much. Here's my recap: Monday: 5 miles with Christie before work, Virtual 1:1 strength session with Discover Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Back to it.
I missed a recap last week because I had to back off of fitness due to a minor medical procedure. Nothing serious, don't worry! I eased back into it this week, which was great timing as Minneapolis is going through a "fool's spring"- or maybe spring of deception? Either way, the snow is melting and the sun is shining and I'm happy! I think we're going to hit 60 degrees today (Sunday!) Here's Continue Reading
Weekly Recap with some outdoor runs!
The weather wasn't exactly pleasant this week, but it was a lot more tolerable than it had been! This last cold spell was 13 days in a row with highs below zero. No thank you! I was happy to get outside a little bit this week when the temperatures were at least above zero! (Before I dive into the recap, be sure to check my "Runner's Pet Peeves" post!) Here's how this week worked out in Continue Reading
