Finally feel like I'm getting my run groove back y'all! In June we enjoyed a week at the beach where I got to run by the water with my bestie Kristi who was also in town with her family. Trucking along over here getting a solid base in place as NYC training starts up next … Continue reading June 2023 Stats
Spring is here! And so is the humidity.... ha.ha.ha Over here trying to acclimate... with faster paces. It's a ride y'all! Kiddos finished preschool this month, I had horrible allergies, but I still kept the streak alive. I'm looking forward to summer but not to trying to work and provide childcare everyday. These early morning … Continue reading May 2023 Stats
Sticking to the grind! Adding back in walks to my Tuesdays and Thursday has been a priority as well as keeping to the schedule. Had a couple of modifications this month - got an eye infection which took me down from running but still managed to keep the streak alive with yoga and meditations. Luckily … Continue reading April 2023 Stats
Keep on keeping on. This seems to be the motto for me for 2023. I like structure and sticking to plans so I'm doing that. I'm slowly increasing my mileage, and upping my weights in strength. I've felt stronger than ever this year and my speed work runs are really showing that. I've also lost … Continue reading March 2023 Stats
Shortest month of the year - that sometimes feels like the longest haha. I put my head down and kept following my schedules this month. The Pelo strength calendar and my run plan from my coach. No deviations. I can already tell I'm gaining strength, and my core feels so much stronger than before. I'm … Continue reading February 2023 Stats
Wheeeeee it's the new year! I finally started back into running - slowly - and with lots of intervals. No time for injuries here! Also decided to try something new for strength. I'd been a loyal Beachbody fan for years but had grown bored this fall. Plus they were upping the fee... and I don't … Continue reading January 2023 Stats
Hello from the land of no-running! Still hanging in the walk zone but finally starting to feel the itch to run again. Knee fixed it's issue... still not sure what was up there but gradually increased my walking, brought back lower body strength circuits, AND added cycling. The hubs has been having his own issues … Continue reading December 2022 Stats
It has been a month y'all. I took about a week off completely before starting some short walking, getting some movement back in my legs. It was necessary- my body was TRASH after the race. I started lifting again - and upped my weights each week. Closed the month out doing 25lbs for chest/back work … Continue reading November 2022 Stats
Y'ALL. I ran the marathon! In-person! This was October haha. But really, I spent most of my month with my head down, completing the mileage, speedwork, and trying to stay well. I neglected my strength training so I'm looking forward to that coming back in November. ALSO! I'm taking an extended break from running. WHAT? … Continue reading October 2022 Stats
Oh September. You had some high highs and some low lows. I got my covid booster and it totally wiped me. Killed my long run that weekend and made me questions whether or not I could complete the mileage needed to do this marathon. I hadn't had many great long runs this cycle and after … Continue reading September 2022 Stats
