Rehoboth Beach Marathon Recap and Happy Anniversary, My Achilles

Happy Friday! Today is my one year anniversary! No, not THAT anniversary (I've been married for 14 years now). It's the anniversary of that time I ruptured my Achilles tendon in a basketball game. I'm telling you, the injury was life changing. So one year later, here we are. I'm back to running. I'm back …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 16 – On my way to TaperTown!

It's Monday, Cyber Monday. I took a look and didn't find a whole lot. I think I'll just wait and pay more money later when times are more desperate. My first day of training this week is a failure. I was supposed to run 4 and I figured I needed to take the day off …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 15 – Started from the Bottom Now We’re Here

Good morning! It's Thanksgiving week (for you American types) so work will likely be a bit relaxed and I am too. Week 15 was peak week for my marathon training and now it's time to cut back a bit. Unfortunately, this is also the time of year that caloric intake goes through the roof! I'll …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 14 – In the Cold November Rain

It's Monday. It's cold. It's rainy. Work has been a bit stressful, but we're gonna pull through. After work, I'm heading out for pizza and beer to meet with some college students that I will be "mentoring" this semester. Such a grown up, right? My week was a little blah from a running standpoint, but …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 13 – I Wanna Go Back, Yeahhhhhhh!

This week's title is from one of my very favorite songs by one of my very favorite bands (think mid 90s for the album). The title also reflects a big step I made this week in my mental game. I remembered what training USED to be like. I'm actually recapping on a Monday this week …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 12 – The Good Kind of Pain

Hey hey hey and I hope you had a Happy Halloween! I'm a bit candy fat at the moment. It's time to recap last week's training. I'm really just happy that there IS a recap, since that means I was able to hold up and stay healthy enough for another week. 🙂 I'm a little …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 11 – And That’s the Way we Get by

What day is it? Feels like another Monday, but I'm told it's Tuesday. Soon enough, Tuesday will be gone with the wind. Speaking of songs, my blog post title comes from one and if you can name the artist I'll be especially impressed. The title speaks to where I am in my training right now. …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 6 – I’ve got that Summertime, Summertime Sadness

Another Monday is here. We all know that Mondays suck, but it still feels good to complain about them. My post title is from a song that will undoubtedly work its way into your brain today and for that I am sorry. I wish I had more awesomeness to post about, but this week from …

? Marathon Training Week 4 – The Decision

It feels like Monday, but it's Tuesday! That's pretty nice. I feel like I'm a bit jet lagged, although we didn't fly anywhere. We made a trip up to DC for a baseball game and had it was HOT. Soooooo hot. That combined with not getting home until 10pm was enough to wear me out. …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon – Now Comes the Good Part

Happy Friday, friends! I wrote about my performance at Rehoboth earlier this week (read it here if you like sadder stories). It didn't go as I'd hoped or planned as far as the race goes, but I don't regret a thing. I spent some time with a truly amazing runners and even more amazing people. …
