I planned to write this post on Monday, April 20th. I planned to give an update on my races and training and then tell you how at least I still had Berlin—how my coach and I had adjusted my training each time a race got canceled and were at the point that I would justContinue reading “And Then There Were No Races”

2018 New York City Marathon
I put off writing a blog post about my New York City Marathon experience for a few days wanting to enjoy the post-race bliss instead of instantly trying to put it into words. It was as if somehow writing about it meant it was truly over. Admitting that those 16 weeks and everything that ledContinue reading “2018 New York City Marathon”
And the Taper Begins!
We are a little less than three weeks away from the NYC marathon and I am officially in taper mode. Final long run complete, mileage decreasing, and workouts scaling back. It’s somewhat hard to believe! Even though this training cycle began in July, it feels like it was broken down into three stages instead ofContinue reading “And the Taper Begins!”
A Return to 26.2—Training for the NYC Marathon
Well, it has been 16 months since I ran my last marathon. That was Boston in 2017. A while back I decided I was going to ease up on what had turned into an annual marathon and reserve 26.2 for World Majors and bucket list races. Having completed Chicago and Boston, that left the NYCContinue reading “A Return to 26.2—Training for the NYC Marathon”

And theContinue reading “13 Reasons NOT to Run the Boston Marathon”
Chicago Marathon 2016 (3:26:03)
Running the Chicago Marathon was on my bucket list, along with the other World Major Marathons. Now I have two down and four to go! When my husband and I ran the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon back in March the goal was for me to qualify for Boston. Well I did, and apparently we also ranContinue reading “Chicago Marathon 2016 (3:26:03)”
Navy AirForce Half Marathon 2016 Recap and Review
Recap I signed up for the Navy AirForce Half Marathon at the end of July when I realized I would need to get my butt in gear for the Chicago Marathon after returning from traveling this summer and two weeks in Peru with hiking, but no running. Jeremy and I set a goal to runContinue reading “Navy AirForce Half Marathon 2016 Recap and Review”
Fall into Racing Season!
I love Fall. I love cool weather, Ohio State Football, leaves changing, baking with pumpkin, apple harvest, Halloween, Oktoberfest, even the beginning of a new school year. I did get married in October for these very reasons! But nothing gets me excited quite like running Fall races! I sign up for far more races inContinue reading “Fall into Racing Season!”
