I would like to say that this week was a planned cut back in my marathon training but it wasn’t. But, with life, you have to roll with the punches so I plan on reconfiguring my training plan to have this week be my cut back instead of next week. Monday and Tuesday, my knee (not the ITB knee that has acted up in the past but the other knee!) felt a little swollen so I opted to rest, rest, {Read More}
With my first marathon coming up this fall, I’m going to start recapping my weekly workouts again. I find that when I hold myself accountable to YOU, I am more likely to stick to my training plan. No one wants to tell their readers that they fell off the bandwagon. And well, I fell off the running bandwagon and tumbled down the side of the road in the month of June.

We are in Maine this week and I seriously lucked out on the weather and had a cool start to the run. A little stretching in the backyard before heading out! Still feeling good about 3 miles into the run. I LOVE RUNNING HERE! And I love running {Read More}
