Instead of My Lessons from Marathon Training, this post should actually be called: Here’s my list so far…. Remember, I am only on training Week #6 here folks! 1. You have no problem going to bed in compression gear. So sexy. 2. You will change your outfits to accommodate compression. Forget just wearing it to bed, wear it everywhere. Maxi dresses are still “in” right? 3. Plan strategic locations where you can use a bathroom. No one wants to see {Read More}
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}
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}

As I mentioned last week, I am slowly building my mileage back up after a rocky (aka low mileage) running month in June. I love that I am finally feeling settled into our new home and new routines with work and daycare. That means a happy Lisa! MON: RESTTUES: 4 MilesWED: RESTTHURS: Missed RunFRI: RESTSAT: 7 MilesSUN: 9 Miles Total: 20 Miles I had a 4 mile speed session on the training calendar for Thursday. If you follow me on {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. With the move and finishing up commitments to work {Read More}
