Wow, was this really just week 2? So much happened this week that it seems like a lot longer. My grandfather passed away one week ago today, so I flew out to Pennsylvania on Wednesday for the viewing & funeral, as you can imagine, it was quite a stressful time. Then I headed out to […]
Now that I’ve made the decision to start marathon training again, it’s time to shift my focus, run wise and concentrate on increasing my long run, since I’ve been stuck in a 9-10 mile rut since running the RnR San Diego Half. Of course, this was quite possibly the worst weather week this year, with […]
I’ve talked about this before, but after my experience at the Rome Marathon in March, I decided to focus on my half marathon goals & put the marathon on a back burner. When I achieved my sub-2 half goal at Rock n Roll San Diego, I continued to focus on half marathons and set a […]
I love to race, no matter what the outcome, PR or not, it’s been 8 weeks since my last race, which I think was part of the reason I was getting bored with my training, plus this crazy heat is insane :). Last weekend, I went up to San Francisco to run the 1st half […]
Things have been really crazy the past 2 weeks, between our biggest monthly event of the year at work, not being able to sleep more than 4 hours a night, the heat & humidity and excitement about my upcoming trip to San Fran, I’ve had some ups and downs exercise wise these last 2 weeks. […]
Only 20 days until The San Francisco Marathon (1st half for me). I’m really excited because my sister & brother-in-law are doing the 5k so it’ll be a bit of a family affair. This week was so much better, I felt good, my nutrition was great, no slip ups even with the 4th of July. […]
This was another semi rough week, I was still detoxing from my sugar issue so I was still not feeling 100% and we had work meetings again this week and it’s hard to stick to my nutrition plan when I’m away from the office. I think I mentioned last week that I decided to work […]
I’m really bad about getting these recaps up in a timely fashion, but sometimes it takes me a bit to process what happened and then of course, life happens, work events typically follow race weekends and since this race, I’ve been off due to my small sugar addiction taking over. But now all is semi-back […]
I’ve been training with my new coach for 7 weeks now, time sure flies doesn’t it? And it occurs to me that I don’t think I’ve ever put out there what I’m training for. I have so many goals, fitness, financial, personal, you name it and I’ve probably got a goal for it. I started […]
I had the pleasure of being a part of the shake-out run with Meb Keflezighi this past weekend as part of the Suja Rock n Roll San Diego Marathon & Half Marathon weekend. I had seen the shake-out run advertised, and since my birthday is coming up, I decided to give myself an early birthday […]
