I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve filled you all in on really what’s going on with me. Of course, I pop in here to share my training every week but there is a lot more that goes into my week than just getting out the door and running, right? The primary focus...

Running is such a journey. I am learning that so much more recently. It’s not one run, it’s not one race, it’s not one training cycle, and it’s a journey that will hopefully last a lifetime. I thought it’d be fun today to look back on that journey, to show that it’s...

All runs and workouts listed below are created specifically for me by my coach. Who knew coughing could be such a great workout? This sickness may be annoying but my core is constantly sore from all the coughing! Ha! In all seriousness, this week hasn’t been the...

Say lots of positive thoughts for me. I’m crossing my fingers, toes, and praying that this sickness is gone by long run time on Saturday. I’ve had some better runs at the end of this week, but the cold air is making it really hard on my lungs. I’m trying to keep lots...

If there is one thing this week has made me thankful for it is my health! Whatever sickness came through last week has really knocked me out. I am finally feeling a bit more like myself now, but I really didn’t see that one coming! I went back to work on Monday but...

Thanks for your patience with some blog issues this week. I think I have them all worked out, but I apologize for only two posts. I will be back up and running normal next week! I like to title each of my training weeks. This week was going by just wonderfully until...

“Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.” The past few weeks of training, if you haven’t noticed, have been quite different for me. I finally...

Every week I sit down to write out my training, and it’s actually quite fun! I look back and really focus on not only how the runs went but how my body felt, how I felt mentally, and how I felt afterwards. There are so many tiny pieces that sometimes day in and day...

Happy Friday! Is it just me or has this week seemed to crawl by? I think it all started with the hopes that I’d be on a delay Monday, and when I wasn’t, it just made the week go by that much slower. It’s been a while since I’ve done a day in the life post....

During my last training cycle, I learned a very valuable lesson. Mental strength is vital for success. During my first cycle of training for a BQ, I was so incredibly focused. I wanted it so bad I could taste it and even on the hard runs I was able to grit my teeth...
