NYC Marathon Training: Week 9
Happy Labor Day! We are heading to the beach and doing a bbq with a good friend. Before all that, I want to jot down a few quick thoughts from the past week of training… Wild to me that I am already starting week 10 of training. Last week I ran my highest mileage so…

NYC Marathon Training: Week 8
Things are slowly but surely beginning to come together. I hit the highest mileage of my training so far and added a fifth day of running. I also was more consistent with doing core work (hello, planks) and had a solid long run where I had my best pace so far. I still struggled with…

NYC Marathon Training: Week 7
A solid week of training in the books! I had my longest run so far (14 miles) and had a good track workout in the middle of the week. I have to admit- I ended the week with some doubts about my training. I felt behind. Like I needed to be running more and at…

NYC Marathon Training: Week 5 and 6
Week 5 This week we were on our Kauai trip, so the focus was not on training which was actually really nice. I didn’t do a workout and instead just enjoyed my couple runs on the island and when we got home, I did a couple slow easy runs on tired legs. I can’t wait…

NYC Marathon Training: Week 4
This past week of training was a bit different as we left for our Hawaii trip early Saturday morning so I had to squeeze 4 days of runs before we left. I was also helping out at VBS at our church, so that added an extra layer of tiredness, but I was proud to still…

Training for the NYC marathon has officially begun!! Training started July 1st. July 1st also happened to be the day we had to urgently rush our son to the ER after having a complication from a tonsillectomy (long story short: he is all good now, but had to have a second surgery to stop the…

NYC Marathon Training: Week 2
Seems like the second week of anything always feels so much harder. I think week one I was literally running off the adrenaline of everything going on with Hudson & the start of something new, but it all hit me more in this second week. I was exhausted (ask Lance!). I realized how training for…

Running Update
Since running the Mountain 2 Beach Marathon back in early June, I have been enjoying running in a new way. I used to train for things and then when the race was over, I would full on stop running. I was all in or all out. Recently, I’ve been learning my need for running, regardless…

Mountains 2 Beach Marathon 2022 Race Recap
My second marathon is in the books and after a few days since running it, I’m ready to recap it! I ran the Mountains 2 Beach Marathon June 5th. I chose this course because it is a net downhill and it was relatively local to where we live. I was hoping to chase down a…
