Well after suffering through two half marathons that I was so looking forward to, I'm finally taking a break from running. My hip kept acting up on me (probably because I never gave it enough rest). It's hard to take a break when you've got races on your docket!! RNR Chicago was awful for me. … Continue reading Training Update

Chicago, IL | July 19, 2015 | Time: 3:02:19 | Well, chalk this up to be my absolute worst race- but the one I fought the hardest for. Going into the race I hadn't been able to do my normal training and so I was planning on run/walking. But then it decided to be super … Continue reading Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago Half Marathon
Sorry all for the missed week of posts! Been a little busy with returning from vacation, training a new employee and packing up everything in our apartment to move to Virginia. But I still have managed to get some decent training in! Since I last updated, I was hoping to break my PR record for … Continue reading Training Update
Green Bay, WI | June 13, 2015 | Time: 58:03 | Finally a new PR at a 10K for me!! I wasn't sure how this race was going to go at all. I had been sick with a cold or allergies for the week and hadn't done much running. And of course there's the whole … Continue reading Bellin Run 10K
It's always been said that it's hard to have the motivation to work out when you go on vacation. Since I got Jon on board with running he's been good about getting me up to get our runs in before we go off and have fun during the day. We're going to be put on … Continue reading Working out on Vacation
So since my last training update I've had a half marathon (Alexandria) where I didn't PR and then have slowed a little of my training off and focused on strength for the last few weeks. I was pretty bummed about not getting close to the PR goal for Alexandria but various factors weren't in my … Continue reading Training Update
Alexandria, VA | May 24, 2015 | Time: 2:12:49 | What a miserable course. Coupled with a delayed start and a hot/humid day meant that I was lucky to not get my personal worst. This was a smaller half marathon compared to some of the ones I've done in the past (IE anything Rock n … Continue reading Alexandria Running Festival Half Marathon
Every year I think about where I'd like to travel and what I'd like to run before figuring out where I'll toe the line. Sometimes I stay local and sometimes I throw down big. This year (2015) I've had a little of both. I started the season with a half marathon in West Bend, WI … Continue reading Choosing Races
Since our race on April 26, Jon and I have split up our training regimen. It used to be that he would run with me at my pace for whatever distance I was going to take on that day. But now that he's realized he does have 13.1 miles in him, he decided he wanted … Continue reading Training Update
West Bend, WI | April 26, 2015 | Time: 2:07:37 | What a flat race. I chose this race mostly due to it being on the Eisenbahn. I thought it would be run to run along where the old train lines used to be. I didn't think about the fact that that would mean it … Continue reading Adrenaline Half Marathon on the Eisenbahn Trail
