Training update: 127 days until the Austin Marathon

While I’ve posted a lot of info the last few days, I haven’t talked much about what’s next. That was intentional, as I wanted to take more time to digest last Sunday and take a break. After more time to think, to step back, I am happy with Sunday. I was disappointed with the result... Read more »

Taper time...a quick update

I was scarce last week because I was laying low, fighting off being sick. I thought I had it beat on Friday night and was planning for my long run on Saturday morning. But after a long night, when I finally got up, I felt queasy. So I decided to move the run to yesterday... Read more »

Ah, vacation...I've missed you.

I haven’t had an actual vacation in some 5 years. Last time we were able to get away, it was just Pam, K and I; we traveled up to Door County for a week and had a lot of fun! We’re back in Door County this week and have PG and my father-in-law along for... Read more »

Race week update: Rock n Roll Chicago, it's race expo day!

Two days and counting! Woo and hoo! Two things stand out today- it’s a rest day and it’s race expo day. A tricky mix of checking out everything at the expo and laying low. I’m actually excited for Sunday. I’m sure the nerves will kick in tomorrow evening and Sunday morning…but for now, I feel... Read more »

Weekend preview...

This morning I got out for my 45:00 run and ran some drills…sprints, high knees, skipping and butt kicks. And keeping with run drill tradition, I ran into two women walking. And of course they asked what I was doing. Oh well…it’s a bit of a tradition now I suppose. I was moving a bit... Read more »

Healthy Hump Day- Recovery Week...

With my first half marathon of the year in the books, this week the focus is on recovery! Monday I had a short bike ride, gym yesterday and a 45:00 slow run later today. I’m surprised at how not sore I am. Outside of my back, that is. I’ve been foam rolling like a mad... Read more »

Healthy Hump Day...a race week edition.
It’s race week! It’s race week! Woo hoo! Yes, I’m excited! Can you tell? Hence why I’m talking about it on Healthy Hump Day! Saturday is my first 1/2 of the year. It’s even more special because it’s where I met Pam and spent a good chunk of my life. We started our family in... Read more »

Big weekend ahead!

Big weekend ahead!
I finally feel back to normal. On top of a hot race and overdoing it, I fought being sick all week. But I’m back and ready to go! Coach Jen and I chatted a bit yesterday, adjusting the plan for this week. I was home with K yesterday, for day 2 of fever-boogaloo. Thankfully she... Read more »

Anyone get the license plate on that truck?

Apparently my race recap is incomplete. It took more out of me than I thought. I was a little achy yesterday and had some “plumbing issues”. I thought I was fine. I went to the gym over the lunch hour to spin yesterday. Coach Jen is having me ease back into things…and I really needed... Read more »
