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.

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

May started off with a bang with the Elm Street 10 Miler in my run for fun series. 😀 I also participated in the #riseandrunMay challenge all month long - getting out the door for at least a mile each day. And those were all running until we got hit with Covid. So yeah- it … Continue reading May 2022 Stats
