Today I’m linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons for Thinking Out Loud! Honestly, I love this style post for the freedom to chat about all the random things that cross my mind. Right now, I’m trying to sort out my race schedule for 2015. I feel like I am missing something from my calendar, especially the summer months. I have nothing scheduled from the beginning of May through August! I typically run a few events in Maine in the {Read More}
So, today, I broke the internet. At least, I broke my small piece of the internet. Behind the scenes here at Lisa Runs for Cupcakes, I could not access my site. Thanks to Mar, she let me know that the world was still able to see things. So, after a few hours of help from my host, RFE hosting, life was back to normal and I can access my blog! Normally, this would probably not even bother me but since {Read More}
Right now, I am stressed out. Coming off traveling to California and a really chaotic week at work, I had last Friday off to recoup and prepare for Cora’s fourth birthday party. I had so much fun spending the day with her and decorating for her party that I completely forgot to run. Then, my family came in from out-of-town to help us celebrate her birthday and I forgot to run again. I woke up on Sunday morning and I said {Read More}

NYC Marathon Training Week 9 and 10 are in the books and I’m a little delayed on posting my recap! I can finally say that I am having a bit of an upswing in training! I’m still not where I want/need to be with mileage but things are definitely improving. Right now, I am still making sure I get plenty of rest between runs and not pushing the pace or mileage. Overall, I am happy with my progress but I don’t {Read More}
Honestly, at this point, I feel silly even titling these blog posts NYC Marathon training. Just when I started feeling good again, something else happened in Week #7…. Sigh… Week #7. August 4 - 10 Monday: 3.18 Miles (Easy) - 31:45/9:59 - It felt really good to get the blood flowing after Beach to Beacon. This loop from my office around West Point’s campus provides a couple nice climbs. I’m trying to make more of an effort to bring my {Read More}
