Well, here we are — in less than seven days, I will run my very first marathon. I have declared it marathon week on the blog and if you don’t come here for running posts you may want to sit this week out — it’s allllll about the marathon! Today I’m gonna chat a bit […]
7 Days!
I normally don’t post on the weekends but when I saw this, I knew I had to share. My very first marathon is just 7 days away! Eeek! Just 7 days until I will be running 26.2 miles. Today is my last long run (running 8-10) and then I just have a few short runs […]
Two a Days + My Longest Run Ever!
This week was both my highest mileage week yet and the first time I ran two times in one day. I ran 30 miles this week and I’m not done peaking yet! I built a lot of confident this week and for the first time, I can actually envision running 26.2 miles. M: Nike Training […]
Five for Friday, Volume V
Happy Friday, y’all! I don’t know about you but this week has felt LONGGGGG! I’m so glad it’s Friday and I’m ready for the long weekend. It’s supposed to be a rainy one, but I have my fingers crossed that the rain will stop before my long run on Sunday. Here are the five things […]
Marathon Training Recap: 40 Days Left!
I can not believe I will be running a marathon in 40 days. At the same time, I’m SO ready to be done with this marathon training cycle 🙂 This week was tough because I was in Los Angeles Monday – Wednesday. It was one of the first times I’ve found it difficult to run […]
Richmond Marathon Training Recap 9/16-9/22
This was a good week! I was crazy busy — two separate trips to NYC but managed to get in some good runs nevertheless. I was working through a cold and felt kinda meh all week, so I was particularly proud that I ran. Here’s the week in review: Monday: Rest day. Tuesday: 4 miles […]
12 miles. DONE. (+ a Road ID Winner!)
If you follow me on social media, you know that I had an excellent 12 mile run this past Saturday. I ran with a friend from my running group and we ran the majority of the time on the Crescent Trail. It was my first time running on this particular trail and it was absolutely […]
Richmond Marathon Training Recap 9/9-9/15
This was another extremely busy week. I had both a bachelorette party AND a wedding…oh and I threw in a trip to Portland, ME in the middle of that for fun (not really, it was for work). It was tough to get in my runs but I’m pretty proud of my week. Monday: Nike Training […]
Five for Friday, race edition!
Happy Friday! I started the day off with a really fun run with my BGR running group. I paced a couple of the ladies and we finished with fartleks. So fun! Today’s Five for Friday is all about the races filling out my calendar for the rest of the year. Be sure to link up […]
2 Months Left!
There are just over two months left before I will run my very first marathon (I’m running the Richmond Marathon November 16th). I’ve decided instead of just posting all my training recaps each week (although I’ll still do that some as well) that I will highlight some exciting running stuff for the upcoming week on […]
