Now that several weeks have passed and life is starting to calm down again, I thought it was a good time to recap my experience at Ragnar Arizona! I was so apprehensive about participating because it was completely outside my comfort zone. I’m obsessed with routines and being prepared, and I knew I’d have toContinue reading “Race Review: Ragnar Arizona”

Race Review: Big Sur Marathon
Several days have passed since the Big Sur Marathon, and yet I’m still processing my experience. It was, without a doubt, the hardest race I’ve ever completed. But in spite of that, it was truly an incredible experience. Mike and I arrived in Monterey late Thursday afternoon. We were pretty tired but had dinner reservationsContinue reading “Race Review: Big Sur Marathon”
Marathon Training: Week 14
Hope you’re ok with a short and sweet post, because I spent more time than I intended researching things to do in California!

Saturday wasContinue reading “Marathon Training: Week 14”

Marathon Training: Week 12
So before I get into our long run, I have a confession: I entered my name into the New York City Marathon drawing again. I ran it in 2019 and loved every minute. I smiled nonstop the entire time, and based on how amazing the experience was, I’ve said I’ll put my name in againContinue reading “Marathon Training: Week 12”
Marathon Training: Week 11
Of all my training runs over the last eleven weeks, this one had the most potential to be a disaster. It started the night before. I went to bed at 10:30pm, which would have given me a respectable 7.5 hours of sleep. But at 11pm, something woke me up. I laid there for a fewContinue reading “Marathon Training: Week 11”
Marathon Training: Week 10
17 miles. That’s a lot. It feels like forever since I ran that far, but I guess it’s been four months. Over the last week, we had experienced what Kentuckians like to call False Spring. We had highs in the 60s and 70s and just beautiful weather. Unfortunately, that changed quickly on Friday afternoon asContinue reading “Marathon Training: Week 10”
Marathon Training: Week 9
Isn’t it funny how your perception of temperature can change? Just a month or so ago, I was running in single digit windchills. Last weekend it was 28 degrees for our long run. So tell me why, when it was 52 degrees yesterday morning, was I complaining about how chilly it was?! Melissa and IContinue reading “Marathon Training: Week 9”
Marathon Training: Week 8
Another weekend; another long run! This weekend there wasn’t an official training run, so I created an event for members of our local She Runs This Town chapter. I set it up super last minute so I wasn’t sure how many would show up, but we had a nice little group! I had debated withContinue reading “Marathon Training: Week 8”
