Hi friends,
It was the second crazy week of overcommitting. I even got talked into doing something on Thursday. Sigh. But, I got some running in, which I count as a success. Read More →
It’s free Friday here! I’m linking up Read More →
So to all my friends who told me this week as a horrible idea- you’re right, it was not a good idea, and if I could have a redo, I would make different choices. Read More →
With the 4th of July holiday on Monday, and my last of regular work on Friday, it was a strange week. Later nights than I was expecting and the heat+humidity was back. Read More →
Summer long runs are hot, humid and sticky. All I want when I get home is to get into a cool shower. But, given that it’s a 15-20 minute drive home, and running research says you should eat something within 30 minutes Read More →

How did the week go so fast?!? It was crazy at work and with evening commitments, so a little light on the workouts. But, Read More →
I went to my first track workout of the summer season this week. Ugh, I forgot how hard running fast is! I was grateful, however, that it was just in the low 80s and mild humidity after work on Wednesday. Read More →
7 miles and 1 kettlebell class. So a low mileage week. Bummer.
But the flip side, since I have such a late marathon (mid-November), it’s ok that I’m not fully ramped up. Read More →
In full honesty and transparency, because it’s important in life and in running, I had a terrible week. Ok, so I had a terrible running week. Like seriously, zero miles. I went to kettlebell class and that was it. I was in an intensive certificate program for 8 hours a day, then doing my own work, commuting, had evening commitments, and was trying to read each night for class the next day. The classes were awesome! But… I averaged 5 hours a sleep for the whole time. It was rough.
A bright spot though, I did homebase for ARRC on Saturday, which meant I got to see all my running peeps, even if I wasn’t out on the hills with them.
I’m going to try again. Even though my schedule says 26 miles this week, I will be happy if I can hit 18-20, given how the past two weeks have been. It’s all you can do sometimes, try again in the morning, step by step.
