This was an interesting week. And it didn’t go quite as I had hoped. I was having a lot of pain in the bottom of my feet, which is semi-new. I had plantar fasciitis in early 2013, I ran on it for probably 8 weeks (including racing 3 half marathons), which is so not recommended […]
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I love food and I have a super crazy sweet tooth. The past 2 weeks have been a whirlwind as far as food goes with trips out of town for both personal & work events and I’ve been eating not so cleanly. I don’t have any more planned […]
After an awesome trip to San Diego and a PR race, this week was all about recovery. I had an easy week and really didn’t run too much, which was good since work was crazy busy with local meetings and late dinners. Monday: 20 minutes Foam Rolling & Stretching – Actual: 20 minutes of Yoga […]
This week was an odd week, starting off with a holiday and then I was traveling pretty much the full week so I didn’t exactly adhere to my plan – oops ;). Monday – Easy Recovery Run I woke up with sore legs from the long run the day before and didn’t feel right so […]
This post has been a long time coming, I should have written it a long time ago, but I have/had a lot of conflicting views on this race. Last time I wrote about Italy, I had been to the expo and did a shake-out run with The Roman Guy. After the shakeout run, I had […]
Week 3 didn’t exactly go as planned, I was pretty tired after 2 weekends of back to back runs. I was sore and could definitely feel that I hadn’t taken a full rest day. So here’s the week in review – One week until the Rock n’ Roll San Diego 1/2 Marathon. Monday – Easy […]
I mentioned this in my last post but I’ve decided to focus on my half marathon time for the rest of the year and focus on getting stronger and hopefully faster before training for my next marathon. I’ve worked with 3 different coaches over the last year and a half and I think I’ve finally […]
After my performance in the Rome Marathon back in March, I decided to concentrate on the half marathon distance and working on my speed on the shorter distance before tackling the marathon distance again, so I decided to incorporate some new events (the duathlon) and some shorter distance runs, like The Night Run 10K to […]
Back in December when I was planning my winter/spring race schedule I got a few emails from Esprit de She because I was a founding finisher after I ran the 2013 Esprit de She 10K in Tempe, AZ. I remember seeing emails about the Tri/Duathlon last spring but I was training for multiple half marathons […]
This past weekend I went up to Zion with some of my running buddies to run the Ragnar Trail Relay. We did the McDowell Mountain Relay last year and so when one of my running buddies told us about a team that was looking for runners, we jumped at it. A little burnt toast moment […]
