This never-ending winter is really starting to get to me. So much so that I don't want to do anything but eat and sleep. At this point I even dread taking Lucy for her walks because if I'm not slipping and falling on the ice on my own, she's so strong that any amount of … Continue reading Tuesday Tails

Week 3 Marathon Training, and #Feb100miles Goal Met!
I did my long run for this week yesterday so that I could meet the #feb100miles goal, and I'm thrilled to announce that I finished the month at 100.48 miles! Bring on #march100miles! I also ran more miles this last week than ever, and in only 5 days (Tuesday through Saturday)! What happened was that … Continue reading Week 3 Marathon Training, and #Feb100miles Goal Met!
Week 2 Marathon Training – Summary
I don't have my running journal in front of me to share the specific workouts, but I wanted to at least post the mileage summary (running only, doesn't include walking/cross-training): Yesterday I was home sick with a miserable head cold. It was so bad that I ruined yet another #runstreak :( So I've decided to … Continue reading Week 2 Marathon Training – Summary
Week 1 Marathon Training – Summary
I made it through Week 1 of marathon training, and also kept my #runstreak alive! If not for that stupid concussion, I'd almost be at 100 days, but since having to restart, yesterday was day 32. I'm good with that :) Monday was 3.5 miles easy/recovery. Tuesday was cross-training, but I completely forgot until I … Continue reading Week 1 Marathon Training – Summary
Last Week’s Run Summary, Marathon Training, and Baked Falafel
I know I'm late with this, and have also been M.I.A. lately. I'm sorry. My office has been without internet off and on for the past week or so, and it's been a total nightmare. So when I get home it takes me several hours to catch up on everything I missed during the day, … Continue reading Last Week’s Run Summary, Marathon Training, and Baked Falafel
Last Week’s Run Summary
You guys! I ran 30 miles last week! That's my highest run mileage in a week since over a year ago! I'll be taking it somewhat easy this week in preparation for Marathon Training starting next Monday.

New Recipe: Southwestern Quinoa and Black Bean Casserole, and I made my Running Goal!
Before I get to the recipe, I wanted to share that I made my running goal for the month! 100.56 miles to be exact. I ran twice yesterday so I wouldn't have such a long run today. Breaking the 13.1 miles apart like that definitely helped! I ran 3.7 miles at lunch yesterday (in the … Continue reading New Recipe: Southwestern Quinoa and Black Bean Casserole, and I made my Running Goal!
13.1 Miles to Go…
To reach my 100 mile running goal for the month, and with only 2 days left - EEK! I wish I would have realized this before only running 1 mile today, Lol! Looks like I'll be doing my long run on Saturday instead of Sunday this week ;) As long as I get my 3 … Continue reading 13.1 Miles to Go…
Shoe Success, and Snowmageddon
You guys!! My shoe search is over! The Fastwitch's came today and after trying them on I immediately took them for a test run. They felt so good, and my run was so awesome(!!!) that as soon as I finished, I ordered 2 more pairs! I'm a little sad they aren't Brooks, but as long … Continue reading Shoe Success, and Snowmageddon
Sunday Runday
Around here, every day is run day, but I try to do a little bit longer of a run on Sundays. Marathon training starts next month, but while I'm not training for anything, 10k is my usual "long" run on Sundays. I take it nice and easy while watching (Doctor Who) Netflix :) And Lucy … Continue reading Sunday Runday
