My 2011 Chicago Marathon race recap, part 2

While I shared race details yesterday, I couldn’t call my recap finished without thanking some people; not just for Sunday, but for the past year. I’ve had a lot of help, a lot of love and a lot of support from many people as I tackled my goals. I mentioned in Part 1 that for... 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 »

On my run this morning I thought about who I'm thankful for...

Before I get to far into this I want to say I know I’m not the first person to make lifestyle changes, to lose weight and get healthy and I certainly won’t be the last. When people tell me that what I’m doing inspires them a part of me has a hard time processing or... Read more »

Long run recap and my "rest" day...

Friday night I felt ready for my run on Saturday. Coach Jen had me down for 2:45:00. I got up at 5am and my stomach had other ideas. I was queasy. I’m not sure what it was…didn’t really feel nervous, just not right. I had my typical pre long run breakfast. Oatmeal made with unsweetened... Read more »

Pink shirt!

I’m glad I switched my run to Sunday and had Saturday as a rest day. It was effing hot out! Sunday I headed out to Arlington Heights and ran with Steve. We even swung by Runners High n Tri to see Mark and Pom! It was a fun run despite the temps! After the run... Read more »

My weight loss through pictures...

image.attributes.post_excerpt
Looking back, I probably could have kept better track of my weight loss progress with pics along the way. The first “official” progress pics Pam and I took were in January 2010. I was down 60lbs at that point. I’ve been thinking about posting another progress pic, but have been busy with everything going on... 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 »

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 »
