Started listening to: Born to Run Feeling: excited and ready for race day! Trying to watch the weather to see what I will be wearing for race day – seems like it is supposed to be chillier than I thought and probably represent same temps as last Sunday’s long run. Which will be fine! AlsoContinue reading “Week 47 (of 2023) – RACE WEEK”

2023 Big Beach Half Marathon Recap
If you have followed me the last 12 weeks, I was working my way up to run a sub-2 half marathon. Before I started training I was not running more than 10 miles a week consistently. I wasn’t super consistent and was a little lost on training and strength. My longest run since having myContinue reading “2023 Big Beach Half Marathon Recap”
Week 4 (of 2023)
Final week of training! Full disclosure – everyone in the house is getting sick with cold/congestion and cough. But still in quite happy spirits! Monday (1.23.23) – Plan: mobilityActual: Mobility was completed in the evening while baby dumpling was running around.

Week 33 (of 2022)
This week I am supposed to start training, I have three runs to equal out to 10 miles on the plan. Howeverrrrrrr my toe keeps swelling up after being on my feet for a bit. And when it rubs against my shoe it tends to hurt a little. So, will need to rest it aContinue reading “Week 33 (of 2022)”
Half Marathon Training- Week 2
Monday– converted treadmill pace to street pace and TRIED to hold on for dear life. Either one would have been challenging. But I think it would have been easier to handle on the treadmill with the fluctuating paces. It’s okay though, I stuck with it. Cut it short by ~3 minutes because I was dying.Continue reading “Half Marathon Training- Week 2”
Week 1 (8.31-9.6)
Question of the week is if the speed on treadmill is actually accurate?? Monday- 400m repeats at “8:34/mi pace” 🥵 Tuesday- I’ve realized I don’t like doing steady running on treadmills, it’s boring! So I made it 2.5 miles but I could have definitely gone longer. Wednesday REST- trivia night- met up with the girlsContinue reading “Week 1 (8.31-9.6)”
How to be a good Race Supporter
This past weekend was my first time cheering on other runners. I knew some things that I liked when I raced and things I hated.. for instance… I do not like when people only cheer for the ones they know. It kinda sucks, they are just silent watching you run by and don’t say anythingContinue reading “How to be a good Race Supporter”

Winter Season = Gym Time
Even though I am in pretty good shape (running shape- I could run for like 13 miles, I don’t have a whole lot of strength), I still have an odd fear of going to the gym and being judged. There is absolutely no reason to feel this way, we are all at the gym forContinue reading “Winter Season = Gym Time”
