Top Five Races of 2013

December 31, 2013 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC15 Comments

This year I ran. A lot. Without really thinking about it, I ran 13 races in 2013. I had some good races, some great races and a few not so great races, but I’m proud of them all. Without further ado, here are my top five races in 2013:  Nike Women’s 1/2 Marathon. I loved […]

My Year of Running

December 19, 2013 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC33 Comments

I originally was not going to do a year in running post, but as I thought about it more, I decided I’d go for it. So I’m linking up with Miss Zippy and sharing a few thoughts on my year in running with you all. The Year of Running format involves six simple questions — […]

Yay, you ran a marathon! Now what?

December 3, 2013 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC12 Comments

After I finished the Richmond Marathon, I instantly had a sense of accomplishment. I felt so proud and so excited about what I’d just done. However, as most runners know, soon after you cross that finish line you begin thinking about what’s next. The day I ran my marathon, I swore I’d be one and […]

Lessons Learned over 26.2 Miles

November 25, 2013 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC22 Comments

Unless you are very new here, you know that a couple of weeks ago, I ran my first marathon. It was an absolutely incredible experience and I learned so many things through the training process and the actual race. Be prepared for all weather conditions. I was prepared for cold and I was prepared for heat. However, […]

26.2 part ii

November 19, 2013 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC32 Comments

Yesterday, I shared about the first 20 miles of my first marathon. If you missed that post, you should definitely check it out here. We left off with me just reaching mile 20 and feeling pretty wiped out but still moving. I actually got kind of motivated because I realized that if I just kept […]

26.2

November 18, 2013 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC42 Comments

Wow. I am not sure if I yet have the words to describe my emotions and thoughts after finishing 26.2 miles. First things first, since I don’t believe in burying the lead…I only achieved my C goal and finished with a time of 5:27. It was definitely not what I was expecting and I was definitely a […]

Marathon Week: The Final Run

November 14, 2013 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC16 Comments

Today, I ran my last run before the Richmond Marathon on Saturday. A little over 3 miles sealed the deal for me. It’s crazy to me to think that the next time I lace up my shoes, I’ll be preparing to run 26.2 This has been such a long training cycle and I’ve learned so […]

How I Chose to Run Richmond

November 13, 2013 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC14 Comments

When I first decided I wanted to run a marathon, my type A tendencies took over and I researched a TON of marathons within driving distance. Obviously I looked at local races first. I initally considered the Marine Corp Marathon and would have absolutely chosen it but my girlfriend’s wedding was the night before. Obviously that wouldn’t […]

November 12, 2013 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC24 Comments

I’ve started making my checklist in order to ensure I don’t forget anything when we leave for Richmond Friday morning. I’m of course crazy paranoid about leaving something essential and even though there will be an expo, I want to bring absolutely everything I’ll need. Here is my list so far. Please let me know […]
