I woke up at 5:00 a.m. so that I could meet Charlotte in the hotel lobby at 6:00 a.m. I had a cup of coffee and then got dressed. I was too nervous to eat. I knew I should eat something, but I just couldn’t. The charity group that I ran for, Imerman Angels, had… Continue reading Chicago Marathon Recap Part 2
For the first time in my marathon training career (including the training I did for my first marathon in 2015), I did not finish a long run. I was supposed to do 20 miles today, and I quit at 12. I’ve been dreading this run all week. But to be candid, I dread all of… Continue reading 20-mile run (or the run that didn’t happen)
This past week, I was sick with a cold. Seriously? A cold in August? It kicked my ass. I didn’t work out at all and it couldn’t have come at a worse time, as I started my new job and I had things planned for the weekend: an 18-mile run on Friday and a 37-mile… Continue reading 18 miles
Monday?!? It’s Monday?!? Where the bleep did the weekend go? Oh yeah, half of it was spent doing my long run. Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but the long run felt really, really long. I had 16 miles on the training schedule. I set out Saturday morning around 7:00 a.m. The temperature… Continue reading 16-mile run
Happy Monday, my friends! This past weekend was HOT. And HUMID. God. It was the kind of weather that almost made me nostalgic for winter. Almost. I had a 14-mile run slated for the weekend. There was no choice for me but to do it early Saturday morning, as we were watching my daughter’s boyfriend’s… Continue reading 14 miles on treadmill
It has been a hot, muggy weekend and I had a 7-mile run scheduled for Saturday. I got up early and was out the door by 6:30 a.m. Using 1:30/:30 run/walk intervals, I took things slow and easy. It was cloudy and breezy, so it really wasn’t too warm throughout the run. At one point,… Continue reading 7-mile run
It’s Thursday and we’re getting close to the weekend! How has your week been so far? I’ve had a really good week. My eating has been on track and I’ve done all of the workouts on my marathon training plan. However, this tends to be my pattern. I do really well during the week and then on… Continue reading Athlete mentality
I belong to a group on Facebook; it’s a group where women can go to post their vents mainly about weight loss struggles, but also about fitness, health, relationships and any other issue they want to talk about. It’s a great place to get encouragement and support. Most of the women in the group are… Continue reading If I could go back…
For the most part, I think that social media is a really useful tool. I love seeing what everyone is up to on Facebook. I can keep tabs on what friends and family are doing, even though we may not see each other very often. Instagram is a great place to post pictures. I love… Continue reading Let’s be honest
The weather is finally turning around and I’m a happy camper today! Although there are currently wind gusts of up to 50 mph, the sun is out and it’s in the 50’s, so I’ll take it! I have a long run of 9 miles scheduled tomorrow and it’s supposed to be sunny and in the… Continue reading Accountability
