When I pulled out my calendar this morning I have to admit that I freaked out a little bit, and my first thought was that there's no way I'll be ready to run this marathon since it's in ONLY 11 WEEKS! Eek! Then I took a deep breath and decided that I CAN do this! … Continue reading Marathon Training resumes!

3- week unexpected hiatus, sorry!
Yeah yeah, I'm a terrible blogger, but this time I have a legitimate excuse ;) I was completely derailed with a 3-week bout of walking pneumonia AND an upper respiratory infection. I'm still not back to 100% but today was the first time I woke up almost un-congested! So of course I had to take … Continue reading 3- week unexpected hiatus, sorry!
Week 8 HM Training Recap
This week didn't start out so great - I missed my easy/recovery run on Monday, and was home sick on Tuesday. I did get in 7.5 miles with Lucy those 2 days though. The rest of the week went as planned, and my long run today was great! No tummy issues, and the weather outside … Continue reading Week 8 HM Training Recap
Meatless Monday: Laura’s Awesome Sauce! And Week 7 HM Training Recap
My awesome sauce is sort of adapted from the Tahini Lime Dressing that I've shared before (which was originally adapted from a recipe from Peas and Thank You). I tweaked it a bit and added some Tex-Mex flair to create this delicious, tangy, put-it-on-everything sauce :) Laura's Awesome Sauce 1/2 cup Tahini 1/4 cup lime … Continue reading Meatless Monday: Laura’s Awesome Sauce! And Week 7 HM Training Recap

I just got back from a walk with Lucy and figured I might as well get my summary post in so that I can (hopefully) post a recipe tomorrow for Meatless Monday :) That's probably kinda hard to read, so here's a recap: Monday: 35 minute easy/recovery run. Did 3.71 miles in 35:01. I felt … Continue reading Week 6 HM Training Recap
Week 5 Half Marathon Training Recap
Better late than never, right?! I only ended up running 3 days, but still managed to get in over 30 miles for the week!

Weeks 3 and 4 Half Marathon Training
Here's how Week 3 went: A total of 34 miles ran/walked! My Week 4 Summary sheet is at work and only half filled out since I got off early on Thursday and was off Friday (the 4th). And this morning (at 2am) I woke up with a horrible migraine so I stayed home. But here's … Continue reading Weeks 3 and 4 Half Marathon Training
Week 2 Half Marathon Training Recap
Week 2 done, and I finished up by running a half marathon yesterday. Not a race, but just because I promised myself I'd run a half marathon on my birthday :) Although it was a good run, it wasn't the smartest thing to do without the proper training. I ended up with a huge blister … Continue reading Week 2 Half Marathon Training Recap
