A month and a little less than a day away...

Holy crap! That’s what I kept saying to myself yesterday at the Chicago Marathon Charity Operations workshop. It’s getting close. Like I need to tell you. If you’re a runner you know how close the marathon is. If you’re not sure, I just put it in the title up there. I’m anxious not just because... Read more »

Is someone effing with me? 71 days to go!

Anyone else hear that ticking noise? No? It’s just me? Seriously? Great! Either time is flying by or someone is screwing with me.

And frankly I need to work out what’s been swimming around in my head the past 24-hours. So you’re along for the ride…wheeeeeee... Read more »

12 awesome and wet miles!

Saturday’s long run was the first long run in a while I was excited for and not really nervous about. After my talk with Coach Jen earlier this week and a chat with Lauren, I’m all about embracing the heat and overall keeping a positive mental attitude. Besides getting ready physically for the marathon, I’m... Read more »

Awesome day!

So yesterday was pretty awesome. Though I did learn that double workout days are really tough. I hit the gym with Ashley at noon for strength training and then headed to the Puma Store on State Street for the fun run with Bart Yasso! I got to the Puma store early with Tom, a fellow... Read more »

Call it a moment of weakness...

Call it a moment of weakness...
The last couple of weeks I’ve had a nagging feeling that I couldn’t really figure out. My long run this past Sunday gave me a chance to think. I started easy…and by easy I mean, excruciatingly slow. See, Coach Jen wanted me to run with my heart rate in zone 1 for the first 20:00... Read more »
