The first week of Boston training is complete! To be honest, it wasn’t quite as bad as I was expecting. My awesome coach is making sure to ease me into training and I have to say it is a whole different experience instead of jumping right in so fast. We had a...

I’ve always been about big goal races. I set my mind on a race, usually a marathon, and I train for that specific race for several months. It’s written on the calendar for months and I try day in and day out to get there. After beginning my training 4 weeks ago...

If you are a long time reader of my little blog, then you may remember a post I did a couple years ago (has it really been that long already?) about a time when I fell out of love with running. As runners, some believe that we get up every day excited and ready to go...
