I ran 2 virtual races for Halloween this weekend. The Zombie 5k (Wellbeing Virtual Marathons) on Friday, and the 2014 Halloween 10k (US Road Running) today. I managed to stay under a 10mm pace for both! Woohoo! I'm also happy to report that I started November back under 120! 119.8 to be exact :) I will … Continue reading Virtual Racing Weekend

Happy Halloween!

Yesterday went rather well. I made much better choices food-wise, and the last of that Bailey's creamer is finally gone. I went grocery shopping shopping last night and scoured labels on the creamers to find one (that I like) that has no dairy. Seriously, this has been my one major obstacle to being vegan. I … Continue reading Happy Halloween!

Whenever my weight creeps up over 119 I start to freak out. That time has come and so I need to re-focus and start tracking again. Thanks to my friend Michele I decided to start mid-way through yesterday instead of waiting until this morning. As you can see by my food log from yesterday, it … Continue reading Time to Get Back on Track

I've completely lost track of where I am with marathon training, but I'm still going - just over 34 miles this week (about 24 miles ran): Although today's long run went pretty well, I still don't know if I'll be ready to tackle a full in less than 2 months! I told myself that I'd … Continue reading Half to Full Marathon Training Week ???

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!
