2016! Looking back 2015 was not my best year. We had some low moments (injury for 6 months) and high moments (moving to VA and working for VT). In the running world I had big goals- that I smashed one of (PRing my 10K time). Moving into the new year, I'm trying things differently. I've … Continue reading 2016 Goals!
Since my last check-in I've been getting stronger and getting my pace back. My 5K didn't go particularly as planned but I survived and as my first run back I decided not to be too hard on myself. In the interim I've completed the #chasethebird challenge and then my bestie Kristi challenged me to a … Continue reading Training Update
November 2015 | For the month of November (well until Thanksgiving) Oiselle issued a challenge called #chasethebird. If you did 15 minutes of activity a day and logged it on some social media platform using the hashtag you'd be entered to win free goodies. A chance at free Oiselle meant I was game to participate. … Continue reading #ChasetheBird Challenge
Asheville, NC | November 24, 2015 | Time: 32:06 | Well. I'm still working on that comeback. The Asheville Turkey Trot was my first real race back after injury and while I felt decently prepared, the hills still took me by surprise. It was my first run in my Oiselle singlet and I wore it … Continue reading Asheville Turkey Trot 5K
Since my last training update I've been working with a 5K plan- trying to get back into running and bring my pace back up. It's been going ok! At first I was ambitious thinking I could do the intermediate plan but I've ended up sticking with the novice plan as I get my body used … Continue reading Training Update
I'm finally running again!! After much time off (about 7 weeks) from the trails I am finally working my way back into running normal again. I had been doing core work, yoga, upper body strength workouts and then I started doing long walks. Then once Loki came into the picture I was walking more and … Continue reading Training Update
When we moved to Wisconsin I felt lost with my running. We had a nice trail near our apartment but there were no running clubs or groups, no local running store, nothing to encourage me or help make me a better runner. I started following lots of runners/ fitness folks on instagram to help with … Continue reading Joining the Oiselle Volée
Vancouver, BC, Canada | August 15, 2015 | Time: 2:45:46 (injured) | First time racing internationally. Too bad I was still injured and couldn't try for a good time. However this was hands down the best race weekend experience I've ever had- and I'm hopeful that I'll get in to race again next year (2016) … Continue reading Seawheeze
Goal Achieved: July 19, 2015! | Ever since I stumbled upon the Half Fanatic group I have wanted to join. I've done many half marathons but I never had them in a time frame that would fit the criteria to join the group. Enter 2015. I registered for various half marathons that I was interested … Continue reading Becoming a Half-Fanatic
