This Week in Running – The New Normal

Rumor has it that it's Monday. That's what technology tell me, anyway. Everything is kind of stringing together these days. It can be fun to joke and feel good to vent, but of course that doesn't mean that I'm not thankful that my family and I are safe and able to be home together most …

This Week in Running – If it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad…

Happy Friday! I'm putting in a little work then heading out of town for a wedding. 🙂 Update: I finished this one up after returning from said wedding, which was WONDERFUL. Life after the Runner's World Festival has been overwhelmingly busy! Work is ramped up, I seem to have something going on every day, the …

This Week in Running – Just Imagine the Speed, it’s Just What you Need

Happy Sunday to you, my friends! I finished up another week of running that you could sorta call training, but not really. I finished the week up with 27.7 miles (not a round number, crazy I know) and still haven't had a 30 mile week since Rehoboth Beach. This week's post title is from a …

This Week in Running – Everything Zen

Happy Sunday! It was frosty cold this morning after a few days of muggy magic, so now I don't trust groundhogs anymore. It's so strange how just one warm weather run can make it so hard to going back to the cold. This week in running was a modest total of 21.4 miles. I'm taking …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 5 – It’s my Party and I’ll Run if I Want to

Good afternoon to you! My original schedule had me running on Sunday, but the potential aftermath of my 40th birthday party seemed to be a little more than I was willing to run through so I shifted things around a bit. So far, my 40s don't feel very different! Do all of my shirts have …

? Marathon Training Week 2 Recap – Looking for “The One”

Good morning! I'm multi-tasking by stretching, sipping on a coffee and trying to get some thoughts out here. Week 2 is in the books (or on Strava) and I have much to be happy about and thankful for. I broke a 30 mile week this week! I ran an 11 miler! These are big steps …

Post Achilles Surgery Week 21 – I’m Feeling like a Dog in Heat, Barred Indoors from the Summer Street.

Happy Friday! My post title comes from a song (of course) and if you can identify it, I'll be your best friend. For real. I'll make bracelets and everything. Maybe I'll get one of those two piece heart necklaces and send you the other half. The title is EXACTLY how I'm feeling these days. I …

Post Achilles Surgery Week 20 – I’m High as a Kite and I Just Might…

Happy Friday! Yes, I know it's Thursday but it's a Friday for me. I swear I'm not trying to rub it in everyone's faces even though that's EXACTLY what I seem to be doing. My bad. This week is my first official week where I get to run miles, as opposed to minutes. Tuesday was …

Post Achilles Surgery Week 11 – Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Good morning! The title of this week's post comes from a song (of course) that always has me thinking back to my Navy deployment days. It was quite popular overseas. The title of this week's post is relevant because it's about how I'm feeling right now. My PT is going very well. I think so. …

Easy Like Sunday Morning – Coffee Therapy

Good morning! I've had about 12 ounces of liquid energy in the form of Pike Place from Starbucks this morning, so you might have to bare (bear?) with me. Today's post title's inspiration can be credited to at least 2 different sources, bonus points if you can name BOTH! It's been 10 weeks today since …
