What’s new?
The date is May 16, 2017. I honestly can’t believe it’s been this long since I’ve written anything. So much has happened in the last few years. Good, bad and everything in between. I have so much to say, but where do I start? Injury, oh yeah, that. I started running in late 2011 and […]
Marathon Monday: it’s taper week!
It’s finally here, less than a week to go. And guess what? I woke up congested and not able to take in deep breaths. I’m going to the doctor this afternoon. I got a new book and running journal. I’m excited to get into it. Training last week: January 11-17 Sunday: Gym day, 3 treadmill […]
Marathon Monday: training update
I know you all haven’t heard much from me lately. My family has had some heartache these last 2 months and I just haven’t been blogging. I have been running, with the exception of one week off. I’m still training for my upcoming races, but I’m unsure about setting goals for them just yet. Part […]
Marathon Monday: training update
It’s Monday again. The weekends seem to go by quick these days. I did get several projects done at home though. I’ve been wanting to paint some of our furniture and finally got it done. I need one more coat on the top and a layer of wax. It’s kinda sticky right now and I’m […]
Marathon Monday: training update
I am in the throes of marathon training. Not really sure where/when the plan began, I’ve been training to train at a faster pace for a while. This summer has worn me out and made me feel like I couldn’t run another step. Part of that was heat and part was just plain emotions and […]
Throwback Thursday: Cross training
Ally “graduates” 6th grade in 2 weeks. I cannot believe her time in elementary school is almost done. She was so little when she started kindergarten and I am so proud of the young lady she is becoming. I posted this picture the first day of 6th grade this year. I wrote this post […]
Weekly re-cap
It’s time for the Saturday weekly re-cap. Softball games started for Ally this week so the evenings are a little busier now. Her team won their first season game, we are looking forward to a great season. A friend asked me this week about shin splints. I suggested calf sleeves or compression socks. Whether this […]
Weekly recap: Spring break, training and I fell (again)
This week was a rough one, but so much fun as well! Started the week out with Monday and Tuesday off, add that to the weekend and I had a nice 4 days off. The weather here was beyond gorgeous and it made me even more ready for Spring! Ally and I baked, hung out […]
Weekly training re-cap
This post contains affiliate links. Here’s a look at this week’s training. It was my first full week back post-Cowtown. I’ll admit I was a little nervous and unsure how this week would go. It was great! I tried some new workouts and I’m looking forward to what the next few months and year will […]
Fab Abs February!
We don’t waste any time around here. Gotta keep that momentum going from January. Sara at She Cooks, She Crafts, She Runs has been hard at work getting this Fab Abs February workout together, along with video demonstrations. My abs are a constant struggle for me. I know there is muscle under there somewhere….just gotta […]
