He is Risen! I hope that everyone enjoys a lovely Easter Sunday! I attended a sunrise service down at the Lincoln Memorial and it was lovely. This week brings more travel, as I head off to San Francisco for a conference on Tuesday. This is my fifth year attending this particular conference and I always […]
Varying the Pace on Your Training Runs
I have learned so much about running since starting to train using the Hanson method. It has truly elevated my running and just really helped to continue to fuel my passion for running. One of the things I learned through Hanson is that varying the pace on your training runs is actually quite important. I […]
B&A Training Recap – Two Weeks to Go!
Hi friends. After a hard week, last week, I’m happy to have had a really solid week of running. As I write this, I am just two short weeks out from the race and I feel ready (both for the race and for a break!). As you know, each week during this training cycle (I’m […]
B&A Trail Half Marathon Training Recap, Week 6
This week was hard. It was emotionally draining for a variety of reasons and I think that bled over into my runs. I got my runs in but a couple were a touch shorter than they should’ve been and I honestly just felt kind of blah most of the week. I’m happy that I seemed […]
2017 Racing Plans
I’m always surprised at how quickly the years seem to go by, but here we are – 2017 is here! My racing plans are more solid now, so I wanted to share wants on my plate. Of course, a lot more will be filled in throughout the year but you’ve got to start somewhere, […]
Running Stats 2016

Lessons Learned from a Year of PRs
In 2016, I managed to set a personal record in just about every major race distance. Looking back on the year, I realize I have learned so many lessons while setting a PR in the 5k, 10k, 10 miler, half marathon and full marathon. I should note that I don’t usually race for PRs. I […]
Review of the Hanson Marathon Method
Now that I’ve completed a full marathon training cycle using the Hanson Marathon Method, I’m ready to share my thoughts on the plan. The Hanson Marathon Method is a training plan that is built around the concept of cumulative fatigue – the idea that running on tired legs day after day, week after week over the […]
Great Lakes Bird Camp
I have been struggling over the past few weeks to write my Great Lakes Bird Camp recap because I just don’t know where to start. But I suppose, as with most things, the beginning is a good place. After I returned from Southern Bird Camp in May, I wanted more. I quickly figured out that […]
What’s Different Training with Hanson’s Marathon Plan?
One of the great benefits of having blogged since my first marathon is that I can easily go back and read about my training and analyze, compare and explore what worked in the past, what is working now and what I might want to consider in the future. As I was thinking about how different […]
