Today we leave for Chicago! To be honest, I feel a bit jealous of my husband and all the other amazing runners heading out there to race on Sunday. I miss racing, I miss speed, I miss tempos, but I know that my body is in no shape to attempt a marathon. I have to say...

I am so excited it’s Wednesday! Two days left of work before we pack up and leave for Chicago. Over the years it has become one of my favorite cities to travel to; that and the fact that this might be our last time at this marathon for a little while. After the baby...

Week 30 is almost complete! It’s hard to believe that we really are on the final countdown now. It’s been a pretty exhausting week between just the normal pregnancy exhaustion and work. The end of a quarter is always a rough time at work, and for some reason it...

We all start somewhere. We all remember the day we were brand new runners. I can still remember my first race (that I had no in the least bit trained for) with my now husband. We signed up for a 5k out of the blue during college. The entire race was awful. I swore...

I have been very blessed that a majority of my pregnancy I’ve gotten such great support in my running. My husband, family, and friends have all been supportive of my decision to continue running for as long as I could during pregnancy. However; there are a few who...

I told my husband the other night I can’t believe that on Monday I will be 30 weeks. In the beginning of pregnancy 30 weeks feels like you are almost there, and while you are you also have 10 weeks to go! It feels so close and so far away at the same time. I’m at a...

Almost a year ago to the day, I wrote a post about my dream coming true when I was accepted into the 2016 Boston Marathon. Of course, by now you know that things changed for me and I wasn’t able to complete this year’s Boston Marathon since I wasn’t comfortable...

I’ve always been a fan of the treadmill. Ok, let me rephrase that – I enjoy the treadmill but at times have had a love/hate relationship. Obviously this was a picture from pre-pregnancy. I personally think the treadmill gets a bad name in the running community. I’ve...

Hello 3rd trimester! How crazy is that!? I feel like it wasn’t that long ago that we were just finding out we were pregnant. I know the weeks are counting down but finally after a rough start, I’ve been able to take most of this week more in stride than I have...

Running has always consisted of highs and lows for me, with a majority falling somewhere in between. If you’ve been running long enough you probably have dealt with setbacks or periods of time where your body has to slow down. I don’t like to refer to pregnancy as a...
