As I've gotten into running one of my favorite things is to choose a destination race and make it into a vacation weekend, IE: Racecation. This year I had three on my calendar as all my races weren't local. First was Nashville that happened about a month ago, next up is the VA Wine Half … Continue reading Racecations

Nashville, TN | April 30, 2016 | Time: 2:26:32 | Well, this was supposed to be my goal race when I started in January but by the time we got to race day I just wanted to finish without pain.

April Mileage: 40 Miles | Womp womp- so April was a total wash for me with my couple of injuries. I did on the last day of the month complete the RNR Nashville half marathon which I'll recap later this week.

Blacksburg Classic 10 Miler - February 20, 2016 - Blacksburg, VA Time: 1:48:44 My training plan lined up with a 10 Miler on Saturday so I thought why not run the local race in town. It was supposed to be the week prior but due to extreme cold temps they opted to move it back … Continue reading Blacksburg Classic
January 4-February 14, 2016 | For the beginning of the year and part of their #womanup2016 theme, Oiselle issued the #RunLove Challenge asking Volée to pick a partner and choose a challenge to complete over the next 6 weeks. I put a request on Facebook for a partner (because there are no teammates nearby) and … Continue reading #RunLove Challenge
January Mileage: 70 Miles! | This has been my highest mileage month in ages. I've also kept up with my strength training as well as core work and yoga.

Sorry for the long delay folks! I've been tinkering with my training and getting in all my runs has left me far from the blogosphere.

So we each have to conquer 1008 miles. … Continue reading Challenge- RunTheYear 2016
