As runners we go through peaks and valleys. We feel on top of the world one minute (or during one training cycle) and then struggle for motivation the next. We lose our running motivation and don’t really understand why a lot of the time. The truth is there can be a...

I mentioned briefly in my 33 week recap that I knew things were going to have to change here for me soon. I love running throughout my pregnancy; however, it isn’t always easy and some days are very challenging. It has kept me sane and feeling relatively good for most...

It’s hard to believe that I started these weekly recaps when I was 14 weeks pregnant. The idea of actually having our little boy seemed so far away. Now I am 33 weeks and the time is quickly approaching. I truly understand what others have said when they talk about...

I had the intention of trying to get this post up on Monday; however, traveling was a little extra crazy so I am sorry this recap is finally coming a few days later. To really look at my husband’s performance in the Chicago Marathon you have to look back at the past...
