Now that I am back from my trip to Washington/Oregon (Hood to Coast) AND California (runDisney Dumbo Challenge), I can finally tell you all about these amazing events and races! Sorry for the delay but it has been a really FUN filled few weeks I arrived in Seattle on Wednesday evening (8/21). Several teammates already had a day full of sightseeing and getting to know one another over dinner and bowling. I felt nervously behind the curve since I had {Read More}
My training this week was happily interrupted by a little event called HOOD TO COAST. It seems strange that I am really at a loss for words as I write this post. It’s really challenging for me to wrap my head around the experiences I had out in Washington and Oregon last week. I have so much love for the Hood to Coast race, runners, bloggers, Nuun and the fabulous employees that took care of us, so please bear {Read More}
No, not these legs… Although I must say that these Team Lemonade Pro Compression socks are pretty fabulous! I am talking about the three legs that I will be running at Hood to Coast this weekend!

Okay, moving on… Rating: Easy / Mileage: 3.93 Leg #15: This will be my longest leg {Read More}

I can’t believe that another week of marathon (and Nuun Hood to Coast and Dumbo Challenge) training is in the books! I feel like I am getting back to a level of fitness that makes me happy and most importantly, I’m healthy. With Hood to Coast less than a month away, staying healthy is KEY! I can’t wait to get to Oregon and meet my Nuun teammates already. Here are my runs from last week: MON: Rest TUES: Skipped WED: {Read More}
Just when I thought things were settling down, we had to spice things up last week. By spice things up, I mean throw in a sick mommy and daughter, a missed day of work and school for the two of us, and a birthday weekend to end the week. Needless to say, mileage was not where I wanted it to be but life happens and it is what it is. MON: RESTTUES: Missed run #1 of the weekWED: REST (READ: {Read More}
